[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, but interested in this topic.  DC in 7th is struggling but hanging on in Algebra.  Is there a point where students 'back off' this track?   Or it is just a given that all but the best math minds will have a tutor?  It seems like once you're on the accelerated track, it's very hard to change without repeating a year (like Geometry, as noted above).

Look into Stats.  The problem is that they want the Algebra =&gt; Geometry =&gt; Algebra II sequence one after the other, meaning that your student would first have the opportunity in 10th, and that it's a bit harder to &quot;get back in the saddle&quot; for PreCalc.  AP Stats could be taken in 11th  instead of Calc, though, again, there might be a &quot;back in the saddle&quot; problem if then attempting BC in 12th.

Alternately, slowing down in 11th by taking either Calc with Applications or Calc AB (half a year AP credit) instead of Calc BC (whole year AP credit), which could be taken in 12th with more foundation in place.

Also look into the free tutoring MCPS is providing.  I'm assuming that 5/6 was largely remote for your student, and 4/5 was interrupted, too.  The learning loss didn't hit everyone equally.  They got through AIM, so you know they are capable.  It may just be a hump to get over this year.[/quote]
