The wife and I finally talked to our daughter about the math class issue. The kid was adamantly opposed to 2 things: taking the class again, and us talking with her teacher to see where she stands. She didn't do a very good job of convincing us that she should move forward. She said the class was a chapter behind, and so had to move at double-time to catch up over the last 3 weeks. She says everyone in the class had a problem with the increased quantity of material. So, my wife IS going to talk it out with the teacher. I'm too confrontational, so I'm staying away. We told the kid that we will never do anything without telling her first. She's not happy about it, but at least she knows that we have to sometimes act like real parents. We've always had more of a friend/friend kind of relationship instead of parent/child.
