[quote=Anonymous]DS facing a tough decision. Great student, great ECs, service and awards so far. He decided to double up on math this year. Taking Geo/Alg 2 so he can get to Calc by senior year. Grades in all classes 92+. He is tanking in Alg 2. Not failing but he'll be lucky to finish this quarter with an 80.

His teacher and counselor suggested withdrawing even though it's way past the deadline. They explained that he can finish the year just for continued exposure and repeat Alg 2 in junior year. Or, stick it out and take a GPA hit. He's a really easy going and diligent student. But he's so deflated tonight. I supported his decision mid year to keep at it, hired a tutor and I let him manage it. But here we are...feels like he wasted a year and unfortunately Alg 2 isn't offered at his school this summer.

What would you advise if it were your kid? He is planning to major in CS with a minor with an applicable minor (taking AP computer science and AP physics next year). He needs pre calc, but without a solid  proficiency in Alg 2, it could be a disaster. [/quote]
