[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate (school was easy for me, not as easy for my kid). Apart from achievement and future concerns, I really do think there are certain things my kid should know and skills they should develop. If they come home with a math test in the 70s or 80s percentile, I will look at what they got wrong. Was it because they didn't understand? Is it because they were in a rush and sloppy? If it's because of either reason, there is reason to work with them to improve. My issue is that I need to make more time to sit down with them and actually do this. I don't think it's a bad idea to employ a tutor if you can afford it and you don't have the time to do it yourself. I think it's better to build a foundation of good skills (my child is in late elementary) than to just "let them be" until they are self motivated.[/quote]
