[quote=Anonymous]I don't see any problems with repeating Algebra IH in 8th. My problem is with the general attitude, though. I don't think you can explain away an entire school year's worth of math with 'playfulness and overconfidence'. That would be a test or two, or maybe a quarter. I suspect your child has gaps in learning, and it would be in his best interest to just slow down, and let him learn at a normal pace. Repeat Algebra 1H. Do NOT do Geometry over the summer. These things are foundational, and acceleration, especially when he wants to go into Math, is going to become a stumbling block later in life. Let him do Geometry in 9th. Provide him the support he needs, if it turns out that he is stumbling in his classes, and re-evaluate his strengths as needed.[/quote]
