Disappointed all around. Sigh. Was told after my email that he did so badly on the placement test they almost considered having him repeat geometry. This seems fishy to me as his math teacher last year said he was one of her best students ever and had zero holes in his math knowledge. Also the ssat score. I feel like they made a decision based on one data point and not all the other.
Forward to a couple weeks of class. Math is boring. The challenge problems given in class he’s already done for homework and didn’t think they were challenging at all. Other parents have told me kids never get moved. The whole point of choosing this school was to get math that he loved and it’s not happening.
Been having a really deep gut feeling that this isn’t the right school for him and that’s a scary place to be as a parent.
