How long would you stick with a C in honors?

My son and a friend of his were the only freshmen in an honors chem section because of scheduling conflicts. All the others were in another section. My son swore that this teacher didn’t believe freshman should be in her classroom and that they were the only ones getting C’s on all the subjective stuff. He got a C+ for the year and got into very selective colleges. I still don’t know if I should have complained or pulled him out, but he felt at the time he understood the material. He’s always been iffy in math and science because he’s got a lot of natural ability and some LDs that tend to interfere in those subjects.

Anyway, it’s not the end of the world, to make either choice, at least as a freshman.
