[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for the helpful advice.

We would take child for ADHD testing for sure.

Three main things I am debating about are

1. Take away or set severe limits on the extracurricular unless grades improve or child putting enough work that shows improvement is visible in homework/tests. But I am debating why take away the kids strength? Would it be even more harmful in some unknown way.

But and this is probably the more pertinent one, is taking away the extracurricular would lead to a big blow up.

2. Is there any way to remediate the F - as in taking the credit recovery? Would the F be reduced to something like a D.

3. How common is an F? Is it something like say drunk driving arrest for adults or even something worse or say speeding ticket in terms of severity? Put another way, what is the right level of panic we should be feeling?

We knew child is not going to a top 100 college. Child aim is colleges in the 120 - 180 range. Is this even on the cards now?

I do understand the feedback and none of it is harsh. I think all of you are being very kind and somewhat gentle in fact. [/quote]

You have a lot of bad advice on this thread.  An F in Alg 2 is not common.  Alg 2 is more difficult than Algebra or Geometry.  Your kid has to work and it won’t come to him easily, like other math classes may have.  Don’t worry about the GPA and college.  What’s done is done.  He needs to retake the entire course.  Don’t do credit recovery or summer school.  This is a foundation course of topics he needs if he ever wants to take precalc or calculus.   There is a college for everyone and one F won’t prevent admissions even to 4 year schools.   - math teacher [/quote]

Can you read? Many people have already said he needs to retake the class.[/quote]
