My daughter is doing ok, it's her friend we're trying to help. I asked to see the text book and they don't have one! No online materials assigned. Just what the teacher provides.

How are the other kids doing in the class? Maybe there is something wrong with the approach the teacher uses.

I think I see part of the problem here.

But the mom needs to just tell the school that her daughter is with in the rules to drop the class and that is what is going to happen.

Never argue with these types of people just tell them how it is going to be politely but firmly and then proceed.

Now as to the problem, some people are visual learners. You can give them as many verbal instructions as you want and they are not going to get it. Since the teacher is teaching without a text book (which is rather odd for math) then the young lady is not able to read the instructions and so it is not sinking in.

That’s ridiculous and one part of the problem.
Buy the Saxon Algebra II textbook and Home School Packet, used on ebay. Those books are so well written you can teach yourself. (The older versions, not the newer common core ones).
