Portia.. I agree with you about the grades. I was this way and so is my son. I got B's if I was in honors or non-honors. thus I was better off in the honors class because I'd then get the +1 point in H.S. and I was a lot happier because I was more challenged.
What I'm concerned is this case is that this is an area of flux for the common core requirements and setting up math classes. And to do well in math in the future one needs s good grounding in Algebra. Skipping basic Algebra seems a bad idea.
One option could be to learn that particular material over the summer and go on to the Algebra class. There is no reason that material must be learned during the school years.
