What does it mean to be on the honour roll?
I've spent a lot of time recently meeting with teachers, as my oldest son was a candidate for the GATE (gifted) program. What we noticed, is that many of the kids in GATE or on the honours roll, are not necessarily the most talented students. Many seem to be under extreme pressure from their parents. Should 12 year old kids be doing 3-4 hours homework a night? Are they missing something in the quest to be on the honour roll?
