[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sure would be an interesting study to ask parents/tutors NOT to help outside of assisting homework and see where the test scores would go.  I know that would never happen but it sure would be interesting.  [/quote]

The hypothesis you would be testing would be, "What happens to test scores for kids of high-SES parents if their parents don't behave like high-SES parents." I don't think that's the hypothesis you're intending to test, though. (Or maybe it is.)[/quote]

Besides helping out on daily homework - no more than that. Yes, what would text scores be? [/quote]

drop by 30% or so...
 and the new algebra 2.0 is so confusing, part discrete math, part business math, part precalculus
Who wrote it?[/quote]

I agree because there is a huge gap between helicopter/tiger moms helping/teaching kids at home and keeping the test scores up compared to the kids in poverty/illegal aliens that have low test scores. I don't think it is so much knowledge that it is MCPS is doing such a piss poor job of actually teaching kids.  I know I spend A LOT of time helping my kids out with math and  teaching science, grammar, and more challenging vocabulary they don't receive in school. [/quote]
