<p>Phase 2 - I am still not sure why your son dropped from math 8 to math 3 because of a problem in an econ class. If he did that well in AP Calc shouldn’t he be in math 8? D placed out of math 3 and basic stat (10 class) as well. Didn’t have any problems with math 8.
I had also been told that if she was interested in Economics and would have to take Econ 20 that she should ask a prof if she could just sit in on Econ 10 classes rather than retaking it. But she also had a 5 on the exam. Still something to consider. I was told a lot of students who place out of stat do that because you really need a better foundation than AP stat for Econ 20. Also, four courses is a very tough load. I know bulldog was suggesting it just to drop one, but if your son is ever going to actually take 4 classes he should really think about which ones, it’s a lot of class time - especially if there are labs or drills or all of the classes use their x hours - and tough at midterms and finals.</p>
