[quote=Anonymous]I would just do your kids school summer school so that you don’t have to worry about fighting to transfer the class.

I don’t know what you mean by “catch up.” I was a kid who took Algebra in 9th grade and went to a 4 year college with only 3 years of math, all non-honors. I went on to earn a PhD in a social science, one that, ironically enough, required that I taught myself basic calculus and matrix algebra. I did it but my grad school methods grades were solid 3.5s. Math is not my strong suit. If your child is not interested in math or the sciences that are math intensive, then it is ok to not be ahead in math.

There are colleges out there for kids who are not mathy and don’t take calculus or struggle in math. Most kids will not take Calculus, that is ok. There is a reason they created AP Precalculus.

If your kid does not enjoy math and is not on the advanced or slightly accelerated math track, that is ok. If your kid is struggling in school and needs to retake the class, go with your schools summer program. I would get a tutor now to work with your kid so that they can start to lay a foundation for an easier summer. [/quote]
