HONORS class? And pre-calc too(which I didn't take till college). WTF is he bitching about then? If honors class is like AP here, that's college credit and a whole different ballgame. If he didn't like it, he should have taken a different course.
And dad should get his ass kicked with a fines for wasting taxpayers' time and money by misusing the courts.
Not necessarily. It could be a situation where Honors pre-calc is the only class math class he can take. They may not offer a non-honors version. (The way my old high school only offers AP Calculus; you can't take regular Calculus.) If this kid has already taken all the other math classes leading up to this one, and he still needs more credits in math to graduate or get into college, he may have no choice but to take this class. A lot of schools really push math but don't offer a lot of options as to which classes students can take. In fact, at my old high school, the kids who get on the advanced math track in middle school run out of high school math classes by their senoir year and have to take it at the local community college.
My sentiments exactly. But, alas, we are few.
