[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before this goes totally off the rails, a piece of unsolicited advice for the OP.

Encourage your child to begin solving his own problems. There will be amazing teachers, and just fine teachers throughout the next four years, inside and outside the magnet. With that said, there are tons of resources available, particularly in math.

Information about Math Honor Society tutoring is prominently featured on the bulletin boards of every math classroom I've ever been in at Blair. This information is typically repeated on the Canvas page for the class, as part of the syllabus.

Before you tackle this for your child, ask what resources they have already accessed and where they have looked for information. This is going to be an important skill moving forward, so many as well practice now while there is still a safety net. [/quote]

Good parents step in and help. [/quote]

I'd be more worried that your child has not found these resources himself or herself. It's true that they talk about the peer tutoring repeatedly at Blair. The kids that do it are very smart and very generous with their time.[/quote]

+1 I think folks are trying to be kind here, but OP needs to know that these services are easily available and widely advertised. Here's the home page for the MBHS math department, where the tutoring is prominently featured: https://sites.google.com/mcpsmd.net/mbhs-mathematics/home

From experience, I will say that teachers are also more accomodating when they see a kid trying to help themselves first. That's what folks are trying to help OP understand - high school is meant to be a time when kids start taking over responsibility for their own learning in preparation for college. Accessing the assistance that is advertised on the bulletin board, in the syllabus, and on the web page is a very low bar for beginning that journey. [/quote]
