[quote=Anonymous]It is much more important that your son understand math than that he reach a particular class. It might mean if he wants to study Comp Sci or Math or some sciences in college, he'll need to be prepared to take a summer course or be on the 5 year plan, and it might mean getting into MIT will be close to impossible (which it already is) but that's not a big deal. I am a programmer and I hire other programmers. I have yet to ask someone what grade they were in when they took Alg 1, or whether they had to take summer courses because they needed a retake of Calc 2. Your son will be fine.[/quote]
