[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 365507, member: 3493"] Well, difficult child was the only kid who didn't attend the review session his teacher offered for math and the only one who failed. I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry. He got a 45 - this was without studying for the entire year, doing much HW, etc. He is getting a C+ for the year so he must have done ok the rest of the quarter. The teacher said we have to sign a waiver to keep him in honors next year because she doesn't recommend it. We told her that the school which is ranked 2d in our state in the new Newsweek poll has an open Honors and AP policy meaning any kid who wants to take such a class is in - no teacher recs, testing or mandatory grade requirements. OUR school did not even make the list. H told difficult child what went on and told him that he'd better work harder next year. I think his chess coach teaches the next level and difficult child will hopefully work for him. He said that difficult child did seem sort of embarrassed and said he guessed he needed to do more. What really kills me is that he is getting C+ in a very high level math class with absolutely NO effort - with just the tiniest bit of work, he could be getting B or better. I hope he wakes up soon.
