[quote=Anonymous]My 2 cents.

The first 4-6 weeks is review.  Teachers are throwing softballs to get the students in the routine of going back to school, so basically..easy work.  second half of first quarter..they start to do real work.  2nd q gets more difficult. 3rd q is the beast. 4th q starts slowing down.

There is no more memorization in high school. It is all application.  That is why so many students struggle.  They are used to memorizing something and regurgitating it back on a test. Now they have to read, analyze, then apply it to higher level thinking questions.

If your DD is struggling now, it will only get worse.

Not sure what level she is, but you may want to level down so that she gets more specialized instruction.  This is NOT dumbing down.  It is getting her what she needs.

Resource is a joke. Don't put your eggs in that basket.

I agree with the PP's to keep the sports.  It will keep her engaged and find success and acceptance, where she otherwise may not.[/quote]
