[quote=Anonymous]when my daughter was doubting herself in math, I got her a tutor, even though she was an A/B student. I wanted her to feel comfortable and confident. I worried that struggling in 6th grade would lead to a weaker foundation for high school. At first I was afraid that the action of getting her a tutor would make her think I doubt her abilities, but it doesn't seem to have done that. It does, in fact, seem to have served the purpose I wanted it to, which is to raise her confidence in math. Part of the reason I gave for hiring a tutor was that when she had questions in math, her dad and I couldn't help her because the way they teach math these days is different from the way we learned. It's not a lie! We don't have that much money, and so didn't hire an expensive tutor. We were lucky in that we found an inexpensive high school student as a tutor.[/quote]
