<p>I’d send him to summer school.</p>
<p>Not for the GPA. Like you said, he missed a chunk of practice there. He should feel comfortable with algebra since it will be the basis for analytical geometry, precalc, and calculus, physics, some chemistry, a little bio. </p>
<p>And these days, kids skype and tweet their friends anyway. He can hang out with his bros in person in the evening since the days are long. When he hits high school knowing algebra like the back of his hand, he’ll be feelin’ so swag.</p>
<p>YOLO</p>
