[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The problem is that it's geometry.  There's no reason to repeat geometry and repeating it won't help much for algebra II. [/b] Repeating algebra I makes sense, but that's going way back-- would they even offer the honors version in HS?

So I think you're stuck with algebra-- either honors version or regular version. [/quote]

This is the main point. Geometry is not going to be of much help for his future math classes.

You are essentially throwing away a year's worth of learning by repeating geometry. Geometry is a one off kind of subject that stands alone.

If you said repeating Algebra 1 or 2, it would be a terrific choice. Child would be getting a good grounding on something that is going to be important in his later math classes.

I would say talk to any math teacher or professor you know. They might be able to explain better to you. Please dont make this mistake. [/quote]

I will talk to his current math teacher. I dug a little deeper and it looks like There is actually an option to take Alg2 in 9th and then Alg2 H as a sophomore 
I will double check, it might be the way to go [/quote]
