Could be more visual/artistic thing. You have to be very pleased.

LOL..girls are weird.

My ds took Honors Alg1 then Honors Alg2 the following year. In 8th grade it was honors Geometry. He loved it even though all of testing break downs (NWEAs, Explore, ACT) always rated him lower in geometry than algebra. He learned more and had a more enjoyable year in geometry by far. Never minded all the proofs, and there were tons.

He said his teacher rarely used the supplied text book for discussion.

This year honors pre calc. He seems to be just putting in his time.
New School and a teacher who is just "meh" at best so far.
