[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10th grader is freaking out. He says honors Algebra II is impossible and wants out. 
He’s always gotten As in math. I insisted he not skip ahead in middle school because of his ADHD and anxiety. 
He gets help for math from his dad or teachers but generally seems ok. Support is there but being overwhelmed can make absorption tough for him.

Is this something he should push through or should I let him change to a regular track?

My understanding was that MCPS honors was really not that advanced.

Students taking Algebra II this year more than likely had Algebra I during virtual instruction. The students had instruction 2 days a week in each class. Therefore, they may not have learned as much as they would in a traditional year. It might help to ask the teacher what the plan is to help students to "catch up" on missed work. Also ask when they offer extra help sessions with the teacher and if they have peer tutors from the NHS. I can imagine that this will be a hard year for all students in Algebra II. I am sure that your student can do it, but may need extra encouragement and extra tutoring.
