The overconfidence as a reason was what I assume, its was mostly playfulness, which I agree, needs to be changed.
Everyone feels bad when they perform badly, especially when they feel they could have done better, there is nothing wrong in considering a second chance and improving, which is why we thought about retaking .
As suggested will use workbooks to help him work on the basics in arithmetic and algebra to have a better foundation.
Can someone please explain to me how getting a B is considered performing badly?
FCPS has grossly inflated grades. A B means that the kid performed at what would have been a D level 20 years ago. You also shouldn't be getting Bs when you're double accelerated in a subject. It just means you've been accelerated too much and weren't ready to skip M7H/M8 content.
Perhaps FCPS should work on deflation gate grades. The problem is that if a teacher gives a kid under an A, the parents freak out and complain. It's broken.
