I might not have worded myself well, by saying ‘suggestions to the teacher’, l meant he was highly interested in the subject and he had told me he corrected the teacher once. I am not boasting in any way here and l am least interested in boasting, l just wanted to say he was highly interested in the subject. He was well behaved and the teacher was very appreciative of him in her final email to me. By ‘playful’ I meant too much into gaming.
The final test carried heavy weight and he lost marks there but again l am not going to go to the excuses.He has low grades now and l just wanted to know what can be done because we felt he can do much better( he had very high scores in 6th grade- again this is not to boast) .

As of now we have decided to work on the basics and past mistakes and look to improve in the future.

All l wanted was suggestions so that we could improve.. Thank you to those who many me valuable feedback.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

The overconfidence as a reason was what I assume, its was mostly playfulness, which I agree, needs to be changed.

Everyone feels bad when they perform badly, especially when they feel they could have done better, there is nothing wrong in considering a second chance and improving, which is why we thought about retaking .

As suggested will use workbooks to help him work on the basics in arithmetic and algebra to have a better foundation.

Hi,

My son scored a B grade in Algebra1 Honors this year in his 7th grade, is retaking the course a good idea.

Any suggestions or feedback on this issue will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
