[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s OK to reach out to the math chair (or the person who does the placement) and ask about the placement and the rationale behind it, but just be polite and not demanding or entitled.  Ultimately, you may disagree with their rationale (or maybe you find that your kid didn’t do as well as he thought on the test), but you’re going to be there for four years so don’t establish yourself as a difficult family, especially if there’s an opportunity to take Geometry in the summer.[/quote]

I would consider "difficult family" argument in a public school. In a private school, if my kid wants Geometry, they get Geometry. If it ends up being to hard...  ...good lesson for the kid on judging their abilities.

I would listen to school's arguments against, but they better be VERY convincing. [/quote]

What a terrible attitude. We’re paying for their expertise, not for them to roll over and give you whatever you ask for. [/quote]

Catholic or independent and how much are you donating? Catholic and not a lot, I agree. 50k plus generous annual contributions should get you customer service [/quote]
