[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] There is nothing wrong with a B+. I wouldn’t expunge it and I would move him on to Geometry. The GPA craziness in this area is real. He’ll go to a college that is a great fit with a B+. Kids go to college with C’s in none honors classes after not taking any HS classes as a 7th grader. A B+ in 7th grade math is not going to sink him at any school. He has three more years of math to decide if he wants to take Calculus or Stats or one of the other math paths. He can go to a great college without Calculus. But that is a decision that is in the distance. [/quote]
