[quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant and Asian, I rolled my eyes to those immigrant Asian acquaintances who sent their children to "tutoring". But, not anymore.

When my child was in 3rd grade AAP class, I spent sometime to understand what was going on in the classroom, and had a sudden realization that the school work is not enough. My kid naturally is good with math, but his work is messy and written all over the place. Actually he rarely wrote anything done since it was not required in school and he could do those questions in his head. You could say that he is smart but I know this habit will only create big troubles when he is at higher grades. (I teach science in college and have seen plenty of students.) I honestly do not understand why we do not use textbook in FCPS. Students need to see organized and consistent examples of problem solving - not random worksheets from different resources, they need to know how to read by highlighting and taking notes on the books directly...  Well, my child is now going to "tutoring" so he can have a textbook and associated homework, and can learn things in a structured way.
