[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you drop him/her down to regular Algebra for the rest of the year? [/quote] When I met wth the teacher, she said he belongs in the higher class according to his placement test scores/standardized test scores. IMO, that doesn't mean much when he is struggling through the class. She said he just isn't interested so he isn't trying. Sigh. [/quote] Is he "just not interested" or feeling totally defeated? If this teacher isn't the most sympathetic person, or if she rubs your kid the wrong way for whatever reason, just get a tutor. (Maybe the teacher is fine, but I know that my kid's worst, least helpful teacher ever always blamed my daughter's poor performance on lack of engagement. Sometimes this is the reason, but in this case, it was ascribing a character flaw or moral failing to a kid who was having an actual problem. Not nice.)[/quote]
