[quote=Anonymous]Our kid was in 4/5 and then 5/6 and stayed on the track through middle school. Each year got progressively harder for him. He loved math back in elementary school, but now as a ninth grader says he is terrible at math and hates it. The consistent honors track has been hard for him, but he ends up with Bs and As each year taking advantage of retakes. Last year in 8th grade (Geometry) it was challenging and we asked for him to be put in non honors Algebra 2 this year. The counselors and his math teacher both said no - he is capable of honors classes and kept him in honors Algebra 2. I don't know if slowing down the math track would have kept his love for math, but the fast pace is not helpful for him, but MCPS seems to not want to let him off the track. I know we could insist, but we keep believing the teachers and keep on the honors track for the next year and then math becomes a nightly struggle. Plus, he is in for progressively more difficult math every year in high school. I wish we had stepped down in 7th grade when the trouble started, but then they just blamed everything on COVID/online learning.  [/quote]
