[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think reviewing math in the summer to fill in gaps is great, but bumping one letter grade in geometry isn't where it's at. Focus more on preparing for algebra 2, precalc, and AP calc.

And if the kid is cheating instead of studying, what needs fixing is the attitude. [/quote]

I highly doubt her kid was cheating if he was getting a B to begin with. She left that little detail out in her original post. In fact in her original post she claimed her kid "failed" the first time. She thinks a B is failing.... They were probably socializing...because they were bored in the first place with material THEY ALREADY UNDERSTOOD THE FIRST TIME AROUND. This lady sounds completely unhinged.[/quote]

Those were two different people. Why respond if you aren’t going to bother reading the posts?
Agree the B student shouldnt be retaking the class.

OP’s son failed math and was placed in in-person summer school. In person classes this year are only open to those who failed, due to budget cuts. It’s zoom school for everyone else. Otherwise how could he spend the class talking to others? That’s not happening in the CHS zoom sessions.

OP, I think you need a tutor. Summer school doesn’t sound like it’s helping him. [/quote]

OP's kid is in Zoom school, therefore, they didn't fail. Why can't you bother to read posts? [/quote]

There are different options throughout the county. My child is taking honors geometry as an original class in person at his home school. He really likes the teacher and is not complaining about the crazy hours- yet-  which is good because he really struggled with Zoom and would not have been able to be successful with a virtual class. They are taking quizzes daily and working on daily packets (that seem to equate to about a week of regular math class). They have not logged into Chromebooks yet, though they are expected to bring them. The teacher is one of the strongest at the school and I see the same dedication here at summer school. I think it is great if kids who failed are offered an in-person option, but I would hope that it would be similar to the model I am describing and not what the OP described. Also, they are only allowed 1 ansence through the session to earn the credit.[/quote]
