[quote=Anonymous]I also think if you didn’t learn what you needed to in the lower grades, if makes it really hard to be able to be top 10% in middle and high school. By 2nd grade, you can see who has fallen behind, and those kids need to work very hard and drill addition/subtraction/multiplication and address any reading fluency or comprehension issues. If you’re not caught by middle of 3rd grade, I think it becomes much harder to do. At some point (5th? 6th?) there is another similar point where you have to be caught up to a certain minimum point, or it becomes almost impossible. This happened to me in math. I had a spotty time in math in 6th and part of 7th and I just never caught up. I continued to take advanced math and hit AP calc in 12th, but I really never understood any of the concepts. Stats in college was a disaster because I didn’t really understand graphs or variables at all. [/quote]
