Me too - and in some places (the Sciences), the numbering still goes that way. In many, it doesn't. Maybe they don't want the kids to feel badly about being in the 'lower' classes?

English 10-1, 10-2, 10-4 (that's the old 14 stream basically)
Social 10-1, 10-2, 10-4
Science 10, 14
(next year) Math 10-Honours, 10-Common, 10-3 (math for the workplace)

Seems like calling a pile of poo a pile of crap to me; same thing, different name.
