This is literally the story of every single year for my daughter. Like literally all year her 6th grade teacher told me, "but she has gaps, she can't move on until you fill them, she has trouble with some of the grade level stuff." She scored a 590 on math section of the SAT last month. I'm trying to decide what to do if her report card comes home with another "3" in math instead of a "4".
