[quote=Anonymous]Most privates use Saxa or Everyday Math. These programs cover more concepts than MCPS and get there faster. MCPS students have a lot of holes. They'll have 4 or 5 ways to do a simple equation but they have never seen more complex equations. They also don't have strong calculation skills anymore so they can't do the more complex problems very quickly. Its not just that MCPS is behind which is an issue for student transferring in but its that MCPS is completely skipping different types of problems and equations. Most privates will help you connect with tutoring groups that you can use over the summer and throughout the school year. I would advise that you budget for tutoring if you haven't had your child in some type of outside math program or if your child is not naturally a math whiz. [/quote]
