According to the school, Algebra 2 is the most failed subject in the district. I of course do not understand why. If that is the case, shouldn't we find a way to help kids better understand it. Drennen's classmates actually look to him for help, because they do not understand the teacher. This is also the issue. Why can my child teach his classmates and they go on to honors pre-calculus while he doesn't. Maybe he should stop helping them so the rest of the class is held back right along with him. Of course this won't happen. Drennen loves helping others and when they succeed, he is happy he was able to help. The teacher is aware that Drennen is tutoring and helping, which is even more puzzling as to why she believes Drennen is not capable of the work.
