Stfu seriously you are terrible.

OP one answer is that sometimes the teaching is just better in the honors classes. Sometimes holding kids back who can intellectually do the work but need more support around it is the wrong decision. And another way to look at it is that kids with SN are often going to struggle at any level, so as parents the line we toe is trying not to underestimate our kids, but also making sure they get the support they need. Also math and math education are hard to understand these days, so it’s possible this parent doesn’t understand how her child’s learning profile fits into the class placement.

If you are actually a friend then support her with information about math education and the options at the school instead of criticizing someone with a much harder job than you have. [/quote]
Bad assumption that her life is harder. My child has struggles as well (suffers from anxiety and Asperger’s).
College Prep Algebra II is not “holding a kid back” versus the workload for an already severely anxious kid taking Honors.[/quote]
