C in Calc AB [in 10th grade] and impact

FWIW
My college roommate got a F in freshman bio. He was pre-med and that was devastating.

He is now a successful oncologist in CA. That F did not derail his life plans.

In some ways, it’s much better to fail in HS than it is in college. Many people give up when that happens. Luckily my roommate did not and went on to med school and never looked back, except when we get together from time to time and laugh about this.

edit to say one semester of C in math is not exactly the same as an F in college. Your daughter is in a much much position than my roommate was…
