[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS qualified for Algebra I honors and though I strongly encouraged him not to do it (no love for math, bit immature), he did it anyway. We let him choose 100%. So, during first semester, it was his only B and he was pretty disappointed but he has worked hard and gotten it up to an A. He still does not love math, but I think he likes the challenge and he's very proud of himself for taking on a tough class. So, all in all, I think he made the right choice. The self-confidence he has gained from the experience has been really valuable. Frost Middle School. [/quote] The key to this was that it was HIS CHOICE! That's what so many in DCUMland are skipping over. If the kid chooses and it works out -- great. If the kid chooses and it doesn't work out --- great! They learn how to adjust or make a different decision or gain insight for future decisions. [/quote]
