[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ninth grade son dropped Geometry this year and retook Algebra 1 instead. (He switched schools.) He was getting very low grades and was very upset about it so we thought it was all for the best. [b]Apparently he skated thru algebra last year (with an A average!) but actually did not learn the concepts.[/b] The school says he can take regular Geometry over the summer and be back on the main math track of the school. He doesn't want to do this as it pretty much ruins his summer (6 week course). Otherwise he will remain in the lower track math for the school which mean less rigorous math classes (eg geometry without learning proofs, no calculus statistics instead). If he stays in the lower math track, how limiting will that be in college admissions down the road? He is a good student and has tested well on standardized tests.[/quote] Says a lot about the meaninglessness of grades these days.[/quote]
