The funny thing about my schooling, or, perhaps, the sad thing, is that in high school, I breezed by all of the math classes, getting B's and A's without ever really learning anything from them. It wasn't that I didn't try...although that may have been part, but just that the teachers I had were bad, and not able to see how often kids didn't get it. I got most of it, mind you, but I never really 'picked up' anything that I didn't already know, mostly because my best friend was a mathematical whiz kid, and had been showing me how to do advanced stuff since we were little. Those classes were pretty much a waste to me, I just lucked out by having a useful friend.
See what happens with a different teacher, though, If she really feels the need to retake it.
