There is so much misinformation and opinion parading as fact on this thread it makes my head spin.
Parents: you know, in the pit of your stomachs, what your child needs educationally. She doesn’t need what anyone on an annonymous board states is necessary. She needs to be working at whatever level she can handle without losing her way, losing herself, losing her ability to keep up, and losing opportunities to grow in areas other than academically.
(Three kids: two college graduates, one entering college this fall. One kid never met a math class he couldn’t breeze through, and one repeated algebra in middle school because she, while earning passing grades, looked (to quote her teacher) like “A deer in the headlights”. Having her repeat that class was the best decision we ever made.)
