[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar.  DS was 99th% on IAAT, and easily passed advanced on the SOL (575?), but Algebra 1H in 7th was hard.  Sort of happy(?) to hear others had the same experience.  Teacher isn't great, but we hate to fault the teacher here.  DS as a 7th grader found it a huge step to manage the independence expected from a HS course.  He's got a great intuition for math and had zero issues with learning the material, but still had to work really hard for that B+.  Now we're trying to figure out whether to keep that B+ or have him retake it next year.  Which sounds crazy, but this is NoVA, and it might be better that he get a solid A in 8th and progress steadily to Calc as a Senior, than risk it as a Jr, even though he's probably capable?  Anyways, it puts you in an even worse position if your kid has to repeat.  It's a huge blow to their already very fragile middle-school ego.[/quote]

I’m one of the PPs. Instead of retaking the course, I would probably have the b+ grade removed from the transcript, especially because you mentioned that they clearly learned the material. [/quote]
