[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 OP, but DS is getting a B+ in 7th grade agerba so I was wondering about this.  If he has a solid foundation, why would he have to retake the class if I expunge? The paperwork says he can choose to either move forward to 8th grade geometry or retake algebta, and that if he expunged both algebra and geometry, then he might not be able to get an advanced diploma.  I see no upside to having DS start high school with a B or B+ added to his high school GPA, if it can be avoided.  I he loses the opportunity to get a high school math credit. Is there any other reason not to expunge if DC gets a B?  Has anyone's DC gotten a B in middle  school algebra, expunged it and been required to retake?   Or was DC allowed to move into Geometry?  Constructive, non-judjmenyal feedback appreciated. [/quote]
