I'm not sure at this point if there is anything I can do other than just help him as much as I can and hope next year is better for him :-(
Possibly you were already thinking of this, but in the "help him as much as I can" category, you might wish to consider:
- Participating in any outside math extracurricular, such as math club, math competition, or math afterschooling at home which helps your child develop his math identity and enjoy math his way. Out-of-school time (OST) and expanded-opportunity programs help maintain a healthy balance in life and are sometimes called Positive Youth Development (PYD).
- Having a frank discussion that you believe education ought to be a buffet with many things offered, from which a student may sample and choose what is beneficial.
- Documenting personal anecdotes at home, for possible future advocacy efforts.
