After two grade skips, and further subject acceleration, we finally got our daughter to experience something she had not up until then - a B in math. She was ticked, but my wife and I were happy to have finally gotten her to a place where she was challenged and couldn't just coast to an easy A.
We find it amusing how shocked some people get when we say one of our goals is to have had her fail at something before the end of high school.
Embrace the challenge your son has encountered - learning to work through it will only make him stronger.
