[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you expunge then you will also have to re-take that class (depending on the class) so it will slow progress in that subject. A B+ isn't a bad grade and over the course of HS will be easy to overcome if the student gets other decent grades. If it's a language and you are switching languages, then it really doesn't matter what the grade is. If it's math, then you will have to retake that class if you expunge, and if you are concerned about a B+, then they likely mastered a majority of the material and the thought of sitting through a whole other year of that same math class would drive me nuts.

Not sure what the final grades will be yet, but the classes are a language class (A-, B, A, and a B+ for 4th quarter so far) and a math honors class (C, B-, B-, and a A- for 4th quarter so far). DC will take the same language in high school.

Would you expunge the math grade?[/quote]

Realize that there is a final exam that has to count for between 10-20% of the overall grade.  An A on the final could easily average those grades to a solid B depending on weight.

You have until August to decide if you are expunging or not.  Wait until you see his final exam grade.[/quote]
