[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Moving on in math with a C in Algebra 1 is not going to help your child. He will need a strong foundation in Algebra in order to succeed in Algebra 2 and other math classes. It is great that he is working really hard and making a great effort, I know you are applauding that.

I would [b]give your child the choice of dropping to Algebra 1 non-honors[/b] or retaking Algebra 1 in summer school or as a 9th grader. Or maybe they need to enroll in RSM’s Algebra class now to strengthen what they are learning. But something needs to happen to improve their understanding.

I ended up with a high B in regular Algebra as a 9th grader and i worked hard for that B. I get it. I worked hard for all of my B’s in regular math, it was not my strong subject. I am sympathetic with how hard these classes can be. I understand your son doesn’t want to change classes and it is hard for you as the parent but something needs to happen otherwise he is going to struggle with math the next 3-4 years. You know that but he doesn’t. [/quote]

I’m doubtful the school would allow that.[/quote]

The OP already said the Counselor would allow it. 8th graders have the option of regular or honors Algebra, 7th graders do not. [/quote]
