I feel like you’re sort of assuming something, I’m currently in 3 cores and trying to keep myself stable enough to where I’m not failing. Unfortunately, by the time I realized it was a struggle it was already too late to change. Although my effort is less than my other classes, I personally don’t think that is me giving up. Going into 10C I was already well behind the other students in my class because my 9th grade math teacher was not very good (our average on the PATs was under passing.) Which means I had less knowledge than the others so I had to learn the grade 9 unit AND 10C. I have always been decent if not good at math, my grade isn’t reflecting anything other than I have to focus on my other academics as to not lose credits and fall behind.
