[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is determined that struggling massively in precalculus in 9th grade is no big deal and the student only needs some support from tutoring despite many posters warning her that this could be a sign for deep and wide gaps in understanding. To not know the definition of a function in honors precalculus is a huge red flag, definitely not typical of a student doing advanced programs like AOPS as OP claims. That’s her prerogative, but I think she’s in for a rude awakening later on.[/quote]

Why do you care so much that you keep posting bashing her? She's taking this seriously. She tested her child on the content just as you advised, using the very test that you linked to.

Enough with the sock puppets, OP. How would you know this unless you really are the OP?

I'm not the OP. My child is doing really badly in Algebra 2 after getting As in all previous classes so I am following this thread closely. My child is on grade level, not accelerated.[/quote]

NP. Alg 2 is when math gets hard. Definitely get a tutor. It can be very dispiriting for kids to struggle through math - they quickly lose confidence and say it’s boring, their teacher hates them, etc.  I have one who loves math and none who struggles !! [/quote]
*one who struggles, sorry :-)[/quote]

Thank you for the advice! It's been a really awful start to the year and we're still troubleshooting. The teacher is very demanding, but I think it is good and in the longrun DC will learn more than with an easier teacher.[/quote]

Absolutely!! That’s a good way to look at it. [/quote]
