[quote=Anonymous]Update from OP because I value every one's input and my son read it all, too.

In the end, per couselor/teacher recommendation, the assistant principal did not approve withdrawal from A2 because he was not failing and final grade (75) will remain on transcript. He also will not allow a better grade next year to replace this year's grade. DS was ok with the decision and decided that he would repeat A2 next year, hopefully get a better grade which will be reported on transcript as an additional A2 grade (not an average of two). He decided to take the A2 regents last week and try again in August if he failed it.

Fast forward...he took 5 regents exams last week. Geometry and A2 were on the same day, he was surprisingly chill. He's been checking his results. Found out yesterday that he passed geometry regents, hard test, good score (yay). An hour ago, I hear him laughing/crying and couldn't make out which it was. He passed the A2 regents with a decent score (not stellar).

Now what does he do? Carry on with pre-calc? His counselor emailed him and told him that he worked incredibly hard in double math and congrats but offered no guidance as to next year's class. She's leaving it up to him. He's in summer hype mode and told me, I dunno, not deciding today. For those that didn't read the thread, he has handled it all. I did not pressure teacher, counselor and did not contact assistant principal about his decision. There is no grade inflation in his NY public. Glaringly obvious by his final grade! I'm probably the only parent who is so proud of a kid who doubled up in math, stuck it out and worked so hard, ultimately passed 2 pretty hard regents exams with a final A2 GPA of 75.

Happy summer all!
