[quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader isn't doing so well in Geometry Honors because he's not been doing all of his homework and projects (low C or high D), so we were looking into expunging and retaking. He will definitely pass the class, but his grade is low and we aren't sure his comprehension is good enough if he needs the info later. For anyone that's been in this situation: 1. Does he NEED to retake Geometry? Or since he's likely passing the course, can he just go on to Algebra II? What effect will this have on his future math track - does he need Geometry to continue into later classes? The rules say he can just move on if we expunge, but does this have any impacts later? 2. What's the true course load over the summer for a summer school Geometry course? Can he do an all day summer camp that overlaps almost completely with the summer school and still manage the load of the Geometry course? I've heard from the MS staff that summer school courses take a ton of time, so I'm curious if this is true for this course in particular. 3. If he needs Geometry to continue, if he has done OK and has some decent comprehension, will he be completely bored in 9th grade if he retakes Geometry them? And again, does he actually NEED to retake it, or can we expunge and move on? Any advice is welcome here - especially from folks who have been here before. Thanks.[/quote]
