[quote=Anonymous]Wow. Just wow. You, my friendly neighborhood "meritocrat", seem very much in need of an attitude adjustment and some education about math pedagogy and special needs. I don't doubt that your school is meh, but your contempt for your school and your child are really painful to read. No wonder your child is avoiding math. And clearly you cannot tutor the kid yourself, because of your attitude and failure to be helpful. Your kid is WAY behind. Like three grade levels behind. The preferred term for "sucks at math" is "dyscalculia". It would seem to me that your child has special needs and should have an IEP and specially tailored support, either at school or privately. You can request an IEP meeting today. https://www.understood.org/en/articles/math-anxiety-vs-dyscalculia-compare-the-signs When you're done calling everyone else lazy and pointing fingers, you can ask yourself why you haven't taken this problem more seriously until now.
