[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s obviously not grasping the material if he’s getting Bs, C’s and Fs on tests. You can get him a tutor a couple times a week in multiple subjects to get his grades up. Or accept he is an average student and might be headed to community college. You are the parent - you decide what he needs and follow through.[/quote] This. Our middle child had a similar experience. We hired tutors and got peer assistance through NHS for studying. Child just wasn’t understanding the material at the speed it was being taught. We moved Child down one level (Honors to Merit) in math and science and it’s made a world of difference. Now they can explain the math to tutor (who we kept as a backstop) and they’re actually learning versus racing to just try to keep up. Sure, it means no T25 college. But T25 Wasn’t going to happen anyway with C’s/D’s. Also, probably not the right place for this kid in the long run.[/quote]
