[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what type of grade are we talking about? Is your child earning a low A or B, or is this true struggling with a D?

I’m wondering because of a PP’s post about having a 102 in Algebra but now, “with a harsh grader”, has a 97 in summer Geometry.

It does sound like the 102 Algebra kid is working hard to maintain that grade in Geometry and maybe didn't need to work as hard in Algebra. That would probably be because they are jamming a ton of work into a short window so there is less time to cover topics in class, which increases the independent work. [/quote]

No, he is not. He is just breezing through the material and when he takes shortcuts, the teacher is not having it. Whereas in algebra 1, there was a lot more leeway.

I am actually glad that he is not at 100%, and hopefully this gives him a perspective that not everything is easy. I was very opposed to him taking Geometry in summer but he insisted and I am glad he is being challenged a bit.

Also, this is not his first time doing Geometry. He does very advanced math in AOPS and has always loved Math. [/quote]

What is AOPS?

This is the Fairfax County schools board.[/quote]
