[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][size=9] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than the high school level classes (usually language and math), the grades in 8th grade don't matter in high school or college.

This is literally the last year where that will be true.  Focus on those high school level classes in terms of getting ahead on work and catching up when they get home, but then go.  Travel with your kid while you have the chance. [/quote]

Math higher than Algebra counts toward HS GPA, correct me if I am wrong![/quote]

Yes and geography if they take that. [/quote]

What MS offers HS level geography?[/quote]

Geometry I mean. Geez [/quote]

LOL Cool enough. I had a geography class in MS as a kid and I think it is a great idea, I just hadn't heard about it in FCPS. I knew about the math and language classes.

OP: Maybe reach out and see if there is a HS student in your neighborhood who could help your kid with Geometry or look for a tutor. It would be better to get him help now to get on track. Geometry can be hard for kids because it is a different approach to math, I know I hated proofs.  [/quote]

I think that he was applying the same approach that he did in algebra. He has never struggled in math and took it for granted. This year, same method is NOT working… can’t wait till last minute or let things just build up. He does get tutoring. But a good amount is that he needs to sit down and understand and memorize all the theorems![/quote]
