[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current function parent responding to the extra homework and extracurricular questions.

My DC also participates in several extracurricular activities including math, coding and debate competitions.

My DC's homework in the Functions class was stressful initially but has caught up.  Mr. Schwartz's class is engaging and he might call on you at any time.  My DC has learned to think and work faster. More information (from students) on rate my teacher: https://www.ratemyteachers.com/jeremy-schwartz/3817377-t[/quote]

Thank you for this information. It is interesting to know that several kids who were taking Functions this year got straight A's as well (who also participated in extracurricular activities), and then there were some kids who really struggled and got B's despite extensive help from the functions teacher. I wonder if this has to do with the basics being taught differently in different schools. Some kids seem to have a stronger foundation than others and are successfully getting A's as well. Any recommendations on what worked and did not work for your DC for functions?[/quote]

None of the kids I know in Function class are strugling.  Most of them got As or Bs in test but all have As in each quarter.   I guess more than 70% kids in Function will get A in both semesters.[/quote]
This is absolutely incorrect. There are plenty of kids with Bs in quarter and Semester! It will lower their GPA.

Both these messages are good to know. It seems like B's are expected in some tests but it is not impossible to get overall A's in quarter. For kids who took Functions and are getting A's, any suggestions on what helped?[/quote]

This is incorrect. A lot of kids get B's in quarter and semester[/quote]
