worriedmomucb: To answer your questions, firstly Pre-AP algebra is a little more difficult than normal algebra as it relates more to real life scenarios, according to the teacher. I learned at Landmark Academy at Reunion Colorado, the setting that we learned visually, interactively, and experimentally. It was my 8th grade year that I learned algebra 2, Geometry, and Trig. I did attend the same district from middle school as the high school I am attending right now. The trajectory we did was Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Trig were partially integrated. About half my former students at my high school advanced. In my school there was advanced math which you could get into by having good test scores and grades. Lastly, as I partially expressed It may be a misinterpretation, she could be going through something right now. I will not say I am the most respectful student but If I had to guess she would think I don’t take her class seriously because she knows the classes I was in the previous 8th grade year. Also I will be going to bed soon, so I may not reply. I thank you for your reaching out to me about your concerns and questions!
