[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here
This is not a AP biology class. This is 9th grade biology.
But the teacher told that she likes the AP text book better.
So all material taught from both regular and AP text book.
Last week was only 4 days of school. Biology class was twice in those 4 days.
Both the days there was no teaching. Just getting to know other kids and teachers and how the class works etc etc.
But a whole chapter with a bunch of section numbers and some teacher provided worksheets is sent out.

An example of what the student did not understand is: a concept is presented in textbook with a bunch of unfamiliar jargon.
To familiarize with that jargon (which in itself can be many tiny lessons) and then trying to understand the whole thing took us this long.

I cannot afford huge tutoring fees.

Thanks to many of you who have responded back with your experiences.[/quote]

OP, it is clear to me that English is not your first language. Is it your son's first language? If not, perhaps he's having a language barrier issue. If you want to go the tutoring route, reach out to smarter kids in the school - I'm sure you could pay them around $20 or $25 an hour. But first, your son needs to go to his bio teacher tomorrow and say "I am completely lost, don't think I'm going to pass this week's quiz, and really need your help. When do you have remedial time?"
