[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a subject like math, physics or chem?

My kid and I were just having a convo about this.  The grades in these classes seem to be split between fairly high grades/mastery and very low grades (like 30-50% of kids getting As or high Bs, and 50%-70% of the kids struggling)  These are smart kids in upper level classes.

My kid observed that many of the struggling kids got As in their foundational math classes such as algebra 1 & 2 during 8th/9th/10th covid and virtual school, but were openly cheating in all their virtual math classes.  They got As in the foundational classes, but never learned the material.  Now they are genuinely struggling in the upper level classes that require the 8th-10th grade math.  They are also being affected by the return to a normal grading/homework policy.

My kid said their teachers are quite good, but a big segment of kids don't know how to approach problem solving the correct way because they never learned algebra, in spite of getting As in the classes during covid and virtual school.

Perhaps something similar is happening in your kid's class?  Are many students hitting the wall from not learning properly or cheating to As during covid?

Algebra 1 & 2 mastery and understanding is fairly important for success in higher level math and science classes.[/quote]

I wish all parents were this intelligent.
