[quote=Anonymous]I would reach out to the teacher to discuss, particularly with your statement that it's making your kid hate math and dread school. I'm sorry that's happening, and I hope the teacher would be willing to work with you and her to make it better. My daughter (currently in 9th grade, doing great in honors algebra 2) had a similar 4th grade math teacher who had speed drills, and found that hard and frustrating, as she understood the concepts but wasn't super fast. Grateful that her math teachers later on didn't emphasize that as much; her 8th grade teacher specifically emphasized that math wasn't about speed and that helped to restore her confidence in her math abilities.[/quote]
