[quote=Anonymous]Everything academic comes easy to our kid with minimal effort. Since our kid decided to go the base school route instead of center AAP for middle school and was only taking honors, we wanted to make sure the kid had one class that required work and attentiveness, and where one could not just rely on smarts and laziness to ace the class. We also wanted a class with real consequences when that type of thing happened. Algebra was the perfect class to teach this lesson. Everything from showing all steps instead of doing it in your head to paying attention to the seemingly unimportant things you learn in the beginning or you won't be able to do the hard stuff later all taught this lesson. It was worth the kid getting the B first quarter which caused the semester grade to average B in spite of a second quarter A reinforced the lesson we were trying to teach. We would do it again given the opportunity.[/quote]
