If OP can write the sentence "as a rising junior, there are no viable math options slower than AB calculus" with a straight face he needs to at least have qualified outsiders consider whether he is part of the problem.

I'm not saying she's not smart or that she hates learning, OP, I'm saying she has other issues that are interfering with her academics. FFS let them interfere! Get her out of there! Put your kid over her math track for a change. "She specifically said the noise another kid was making so annoyed her" jesus h christ. Did she [i]specifically[/i] say it when being questioned by you, her unbelievably judgmental dad whose self worth is tied up in her academic success and intelligence who will turn on his wife, her teachers, etc if they interfere with his plans? Okay then I guess what your daughter needs is for you to resolve to "request/demand" things so she's not threatened by a NON VIABLE MATH OPTION omfg.

I don't know OP or his kid, but this isn't always universally true. I was at an intense private school in HS, and I had an ED and depression. I loved school and especially math and science (I now have a PhD in physics). A lot of my issues were caused by what was happening at home, and it truly would have made things worse to take away one of the things I loved and brought me joy to excel at. I'm not saying this is the case with OP's DD, I'm just saying it isn't all B&W...and hopefully he is getting guidance from her professional care-providers about this.

I will say, anecdotally, that OP's DW seems like a piece of work. Similar to my mother, but way worse in that eventually my mom had to accept that we couldn't just put up a perfect front. I would honestly say that the DW needs some 1:1 therapy, because she is actively sabotaging the DD's recovery.[/quote]
