[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising 7th grader has a math packet that is 20+ pages long and he can't figure out (or remember) how to complete a lot of the assignments.  He'll be going into Algebra 1 and finished with an A in IM math last year, even though he was constantly telling me that he didn't understand everything.  We had a weekly tutor helping him along.  So, now I'm wondering if we should just hold him back and let him repeat the 7th grade subject matter to strengthen his understanding.  I broached the thought to him and he refused, saying it would be embarrassing and boring.  At the same time, I don't want to be paying for a weekly tutor for Algebra this year, and for whatever comes in future years, and so [b]I'm a bit torn on how to proceed[/b].  [/quote]

What does your son want? If he needed a tutor all last year and doesn't want a tutor this year and it's not a matter of him falling behind but just not being advanced, I would let him repeat.

If he thinks it would be more embarrassing to repeat than to have a tutor, I'd set some ground rules with him and figure out a way to make it work financially (if he's not willing to cut other expenses, then he can repeat)[/quote]
