[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is 7th grade AAP and taking Algebra Honors. MS has been an adjustment in many ways. DC has always excelled in school, especially in math, but is struggling with the Algebra. Being challenged s little bit is good, but it’s manifesting itself in anxiety, stomach upset, and moodiness which is atypical of our normally upbeat child. Is it too soon to switch to 7th honors, or do we stick it out longer? Any similar first hand experiences welcome.[/quote]

I am so sorry you have to face this situation.

I see this situation quite often. [b]What you have is a learning gap in math somewhere in elementary school. The first time the gap shows up is in Algebra.[/b]

What I would do in this situation is look at pre-algebra concepts, see where the gaps are and hire a tutor to close those gaps. Just hiring a tutor to help with Algebra would be a band aid solution and the problem would continue into high school.[/quote]

I'd agree with this. They probably haven't even started anything new.....[/quote]
