Do you know if he has a chance to take the Algebra test again? My district used to allow it to be taken again near the end of the summer, but not anymore. Too many kids being put in tutoring for the summer. Did he just choke because he was so stressed out?

How bored is his the regular math. How much busy work is the homework/classwork? What is the pre-algebra class going to be like. If it's a honors pre-algebra class there is a lot of math that could be done for enrichment to make the class more fun. My son's 6th grade class had a lot of enrichment work. Although the "try to do algebra problems" with this odd drawing pictures method drove my son totally nuts.
