[quote=Anonymous]The hate on this post is weird. It's not about being a tiger parent and this is a reasonable question. Math builds and a B means the foundation is possibly shaky. The kid is already 2 years ahead in math and can afford to re-take if that makes sense. Frankly, getting a B when you're this accelerated is a possible (not definite) sign you shouldn't be so accelerated. I agree with the PP who said to investigate more why a B. If the kid is not getting some concepts, take the class again and you'll all be grateful later. Could be the teacher isn't a great fit, could be the kid is not a good test taker, could be disorganized or lack of effort. Figure it out. But for example, if your kid is firing on all cylinders and you have a tutor on the side and it's still a B, not a good sign.[/quote]
