[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry I was not clear. Child is in Algebra 2 in 10th grade. A in both Algebra 1 and Geometry.

This year there is a health issue that should be resolved in the next few months. But child used it as an excuse and did not use the accommodations teachers were glad to provide.

There is an class and extracurricular where the teacher thinks the child is the best they have seen in their 20+ odd years and child spends way too much time on this to the hinderance of studies. If you talk to this teacher and another outside coach for this extracurricular vs. math/science teachers, the difference is night and day. These extracurricular teacher made child a captain in 10th grade, which never seems to have happened. Child spends all the time on this activity and gives studies minimal attention.

In math the problem is simply not practicing enough as in not doing given homework.

[b]How would you approach in this case?[/b] [/quote]

Unless there is an actual lack of aptitude for math above Algebra1 in which they earned an A (unlikely), I'd say that extracurricular your child is so superior in goes on hold until they start doing their homework regularly and their math grade significantly improves. If their extracurricular is a sport, they have to meet minimum academic standards to continue participation. I doubt passing Alg2 is a requirement; but the GPA is. You should ask whether being on track with required graduation requirements impact the extracurricular activity eligibility, though it seems that also is not pertinent to your child's situation.[/quote]
