Thanks for the reply. The District has an online algebra 2 class that allows the use calculators, and Drennen is being required to take it, even if he passes the class this year. Like I said, it is only Drennen's teacher not allowing them. If he does extremely well on it, the principal will re-consider the pre-calculus placement, but not likely. Calculator policies are left up to the individual teachers. Drennen does do his homework, but does not turn it in. I have always found that if Drennen has 0's in a class, he is having difficulty with the teacher, and refuses to go near them. He has a hard time being fussed at especially in front of his peers. We are working on this issue, since he is going to have to overcome this issue in order to succeed.
