[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have multiple children. One child in middle school never had tutoring or supplementary math/reading/writing, but excels in all of them.

Another child struggled to learn to read so had specific reading tutors at both school and paid private tutors starting in 1st grade. They mostly caught up with reading but love math/numbers/STEM stuff so they started going to mathnasium in 2nd grade and LOVE it. The supplemental math enrichment goes far beyond what they are doing at school.

I personally know 10+ kids ranging from 1st-5th that go to mathnasium at various locations in DC for supplemental math enrichment. There are also middle school and high school kids at mathnasium getting support in subjects.

I also know of other friends/neighbors/co-workers in DC that supplement math/writing/foreign languages on a weekly basis. This is extremely common among families that can afford it (not just in DC but around the world).

If your child is behind in main subjects in DC, schools should be providing additional support services (which we’ve also benefited from). Otherwise, extra enrichment isn’t really necessary but it’s great if your kid enjoys it.[/quote]

ha ha no, DC will not provide extra support if your child is behind.[/quote]
