[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am beyond disgusted with this class.   DD, normally, a good student is totally lost.  Math isn't her thing, but with work, she can do it.    Material is just shoved at them before they have even had time to digest it.  She was recommended for Honors Geometry, but I think for the rest of her high school career, I am going to seek regular math.  She has had only 3 days to cover an ENORMOUS amount of material on "Construction"  No time to absorb one concept before rushing to the next.

I took Geometry.   I realize it isn't the same now as it was umpteen years ago, but these kids don't even have time to absorb one  concept before they rush off to the next.  Yesterday, she called me at work in tears.

This is teaching?  This is a 'good' school?

Give me a break.

Honors math goes really quickly and the schools have a lot of leeway on how to implement the curriculum, which is why I think kids may have issues at one school but not the other. What's been helpful for my son who is in honors geometry this year is going over the classwork and homework everyday to make sure he understands it. That has helped us so far.

But, I do agree that you may want to reach out to the math resource teacher to ask about how they are teaching honors geometry and the pacing of the class. They may not be aware of this.[/quote]
