[quote=Anonymous]I've done some patchy home supplementation, very little in general, and tried to keep it as practical as possible. For example, I wanted DC to have a good grasp of money (heh, I wish that were literal), so just emptied the contents of my wallet on the table and made him count. Sometimes I wish I've done more, but this is not because DC is behind but because everybody else seems to be so advanced. Now that DC will start AAP next year, I've found out that A LOT OF parents at our school have done systematic home tutoring, so that their kids routinely work ahead of the curriculum. Since I haven't done that, DC may well work out that if you have 20 apples and 4 kids, everyone gets 5, but then when asked to do division, will ask "what's division?". In short, at least in our Fcps school home tutoring is extremely common... which drives me nuts.[/quote]
