<p>Great comments and advice here, and it is nice to not feel so alone. I will never agree with this stupid policy, but as others have mentioned it is unlikely to change…</p>
<p>And Blossom, no it’s not quite as simple as you state. I wish it was. DS is a sharp cookie, but he is young for his grade, has some noticeable issues in retaining math concepts, and needs a bit more time and exposure than your average student. As parents it is frustrating to see the potential just wither on the vine with each bad test/quiz. </p>
<p>Onward! Thx for the good advice, and website links. Lots to mull over.</p>
