[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earning a B in Geometry Honors is not, really, struggling. I understand that it is not an A and I am guessing that she is working hard for that B.

You could look at something like RSM for the rest of the year to help her with Geometry this year but I would not have her repeat the class. I really wouldn't have her repeat the class over the summer. She is doing well in a HS level class as an 8th grader. telling her that she needs to retake a class that she gets a B in is that the only grade that is acceptable is an A. If she is working hard and making her best effort, that is an awful message to send.

Support her current needs. Maybe look for a tutor or a program like RSM to help her. Praise the work she is doing and the effort that she is putting in. [/quote]

I teach 8th grade Geometry and a B is a solid grade and shoes she is ready for Algebra 2.  If As are important, then she should not take honors next year, otherwise she will be fine. 8th grade geometry is a wake up call for honors students - math has come easily for so long and they have to really study and figure out their own best study methods.
