A bad math teacher can ruin a student's experience of math, moreso than any other subject. I had some terrible math teachers that really ruined my enjoyment of the subject. In 9th grade I scored higher in math on the state testing than English, yet thanks to bad teachers I lost any love I had for the subject. I'm now finishing my college degree in English.
Don't make her take the class over again. If she's not planning on using math in a future career, the likelihood is that she knows enough algebra to get on. A C in advanced algebra is not going to prevent her from getting into college. I got Cs in math in both 10th and 11th grades, yet at university I'm an honor roll student and I did get an A in the 1 math class I had to take.
If she doesn't want to do it, don't make her do it. While yes, you are her parents, the fact is that she is of an age to decide what she wants to do, and you should give her the choice.
