[quote=Anonymous]My kid took Algebra 1 the summer between 8th and 9th, after he dropped the class in middle school due to some medical issues. 6 weeks is not very long to study that much content. If my kid didn't understand a concept presented at 9:00 a.m. he didn't get a chance to ask questions, or come home and look for stuff online, or really use any strategies available to him until he'd missed a week's worth of content, and for my kid this was a challenge, and his grade and his understanding of the concepts wasn't what it needed to be. As far as the issue of peer group, I think that getting into the Honors track is what would solve that issue. I might have my kid do something like Aleks.com or work with a tutor over the summer to get ahead in Geometry so that he could comfortably take Honors Geo. next year. That will put him in class with many of the stronger performing 9th graders, and probably address the peer group issue. [/quote]
