Brandon's dad was glad he got to chat with you during Back to School Night again this year. We know Brandon has spoken with you a few times concerning his tests and quizzes. His dad and I are very concern with Brandon's latest quiz results and how his grade has been plummeting. We see his work, and see that he does fine, when it comes to understanding his AP Calculus homework. We also see him putting in numerous hours studying for the AP Calculus class tests and quizzes, but yet he is doing very poorly on them. We are surprised considering he maintained an A or A- in all his high school math courses, including Algebra 2 with you. We did not think he would do worse in AP Calculus.
We are reaching out to you for your professional
educational advice. Brandon has submitted his college application to 3 universities already as an Engineering major, but now he is rethinking his "dream". Since in order to be competitive, he needs to do well in his math courses. He has not submitted the UC applications yet and can change his major (during next week's Thanksgiving break), which is a big deal since it will most likely affect the rest of his life's work. Brandon, his dad, and I are very confused on how to proceed with the rest of his college applications knowing that this class counts so much to be accepted as an Engineering major. We would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this matter and how he can raise his class grade.
Thank you, and have a wonderful week,
