[quote=Anonymous]Geometry is a foundational math class. The most important thing is making sure that he has a solid grounding in the concepts. Because the concepts will keep coming up, again and again and again. A foundation in the concepts in more important than the grade. I think you can expunge the grade and keep the class credit. But most kids seem to thing Geometry is much easier than A1. If you kid is making below a B+, you need to figure out why. Not turning homework in? Bad test grades? If so, careless errors or not getting the concepts? So, for MS Geometry with= lower than a b+, talk to the teacher and look at the SOL score and final exam grade. This should tell you if you kid has the concepts. If they do, expunge the grade, and I have them move to A2 (but realize it could impact advanced diploma). If they don't Pass Advanced the SOL, plus make at least a B+ on the final, make them retake the class. And. It over summer school where they tuned out over the computer. Next year, in a real classroom. They will still have time to repeat and take math trough Calc at least. And of course, what the teacher tells you about whether your kid should move on is more important when what some random person on DCUM tells you. So ask them, and listen to the answer. [/quote]
