[quote=Anonymous]What do you even mean by "playfulness" and "overconfidence?"  Did he fail to complete a lot of homework assignments?  Did he lose a lot of points because he wouldn't show his work?  Did he make a lot of careless errors?

If the answer to any of these is yes, then he likely wasn't mature enough to take a high school level class in 7th.  Have him redo the class in 8th with an understanding that he needs to do his work, follow directions, and check his answers.

If the answer to these is no, then your kid struggled to understand the math or has big gaps in understanding.  Once you account for FCPS inflated grades, a B really means he had a C or D level of knowledge.  He should retake the class in 8th so he can learn the material.

Do not put this kid in summer geometry.  A kid who is either too immature to handle Algebra in 7th or didn't understand the math well enough DOES NOT belong in summer Geometry.  It's arguable that even the solid A students should do summer geometry.  Your kid isn't that.   [/quote]
