I'm sorry to hear that your parents picked such a poor curriculum and have not been monitoring your progress for the last few months or years. Unfortunately, there is no reasonable way for us to rectify this situation. Please discuss with your parents the possibility of hiring a qualified local tutor, and setting aside a few hours a day for concentrated catch-up lessons.

If you are homeschooled, how can you "flunk" algebra? I'm confused, perhaps...because I thought one of the advantages of homeschooling was that a student could work on topics AS LONG AS IT TAKES to master those topics. I guess I'm also confused, because I thought that the home-schooling educators (parents, usually) were responsible for seeing that the needs of their student(s) were met by providing a suitable curriculum, supervision, and instruction...along with extra help, maybe in the form of qualified tutors hired to come in as long as needed.

WE don't "teach" math here.
