D was a little concerned that the drop down curve-busters would impact her grade in 151. I tried to talk her into taking 131, but she chose to stay in 151 because she wanted to take 4 classes without having the extra math sessions. She pulled off an A in that class, and she’s glad she stayed. She sought out extra help when necessary and attended all additional study sessions that were held as well. We’ll see how 152 goes this quarter.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the high school profile of the student mentioned in the TO link (there’s one high school in Swainsboro). Only 25% of the students in her high school are proficient in math, the graduation rate is roughly 77%, and 87% are on the free and reduced lunch program. The highest math class offered at her school is pre-calculus. Although she attended community college while enrolled in HS, the article doesn’t mention her coursework. As the top performer in her high school, I hope she finds great success at UC, and is able to manage her course load well.
