If you’re umc and you’re kid is not a good student… how did you parent?

[Anonymous]

This is a rant/ question. I’m a math tutor. I have this one student who is sooo slow with concepts. She is a junior in high school. I’m talking with negative numbers. I just want to go off on her parents. How can you let your child be this way? She finally started getting tutored but she has the math skills of a 3rd grader. I think there’s no excuse if you’re umc and up. End rant.

Basically, screw you. Some kids have learning disabilities.

Does she have an intellectual disability?

Op here, she does not have a learning disability!!

This has to be a troll. No one is this much of an ass.

She could have slow processing speed and\or an undiagnosed learning disability. There are plenty of children who have limited parental supervision that are able to keep up with the class and not need a tutor. Something’s not right.

You know, there is a learning disability called dyscalculia. The student may suffer from that.

How did your parents let you become the way that you are

We focused on teaching our kids the difference between your and you're. OP, can I have *your* parents contact information so I can go off on them?

I don't think you should have a career working with children....

How do you know that?

The question really is what is wrong with the school that they haven’t caught it? My dyslexic kid went to 4th grade unable to really read. Every year from k-3, I went to the school and expressed concern and they told me she was fine. She only got help when I found $4k to have an assessment done privately.

My other kid was diagnosed with so-called stealth dyslexia after junior year of high school. She is incredibly bright and faked it through FCPS AAP without anyone knowing.

Lol. Okay grammar police. I do know the difference. I am typing on my phone so I’m bound to make mistakes.

It’s not my career

Why the hell do people still not understand that you can’t parent your way out of everything?!? You get the kid you get, can tutor as much as you want, and your kid may still suck at math. I sure as hell do.
