Thats a tough one...on one hand you have her future math success, and on the other hand you have ... her future math success. By not making her retake the class, she may not have the algebraic skillsets necessary for every other Math class.. especially Calculus. By making her retake the class, she might become jaded towards Math due to her resentment for re-learning it. If she's got the space in her high school schedule to re-take a class (I didn't) and she's not blatantly against it, I don't think retaking it would be very difficult. She's seen it all before, anyway..
My senior year of high school I took Calc 1 and 2 and ended up barely getting a C in the class -- not becuase I didn't understand it -- because I never turned in homework. I learned the most I have ever learned from that class, and the teacher was brilliant.. but I hated the homework. By that time, I'd already become bored of the repetetive "proving" that I knew the material and simply refused to do the homework. Luckily, my teacher recognized my performance on tests (98%+) and was kind enough to raise my homework grade enough to get a C. Grades can be arbitrary and not indicative of what's been learned, but they can also be very telling. Ask the teacher WHAT caused the C.. if it's tests or quizzes, I'd certainly recommend your daughter retaking the class.
