[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DC was placed in intensified algebra and the email about it from the teacher is making me nervous. “Very high expectations” “homework a major key to success” “being prepared for class is paramount,” etc. [/b]

DC is smart and this far has picked up on math concepts quickly, but bless her heart she struggles so much with organization, doing homework even when she doesn’t feel like it, etc. I feel like this is going to be a significant burden on me, with reminding her to do her homework and not letting her play before her homework is done. And even with that I cannot see her getting a good grade unless miraculous changes happen at the beginning of next school year.

If DC hadn’t been gunning for this I would request she take regular math instead. I can totally envision some drama three months into the school year when she is getting a bad grade and beating herself up over it. Her teachers are incredibly supportive, especially with her ADHD, but still.

Would it be awful of me to warn her about what I see as an inevitably? Maybe say “hey there is no shame in dropping to a lower level or repeating a class in middle school?”[/quote]

Are you not nervous about learning how being good at math is white supremacy tho? [/quote]

Is this an “HBW is too woke” joke?

If so, the joke is kind of funny, but I absolutely love how liberal that school is. [/quote]
