[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sticking with Khan and a tutor and hoping my kid pulls through. Then if at the end of the year they haven't managed it, we'll look at doing regular pre-calc as the poster up thread recommends.

Given this seems to be an almost universal problem at MCPS high schools at the moment, I think it is more a reflection of the curriculum and how it is being rolled out than the abilities of the majority of the students.

It's absurd that it is such a universal situation but also strangely comforting that it's not just my son.[/quote]
It’s not a universal problem. It’s just a common problem among parents who choose to complain about it on DCUM.

A problem that some kids have is that they didn’t have to put forth much effort last year (or could just look up answers instead of actually understanding how to solve problems.) Now they are in a more challenging course, have never learned to study, are missing skills, and have no resilience to try again if they struggle. This isn’t a curriculum problem.[/quote]
