[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I cannot afford to move out of the urban school my kid is in: I ideally would like to like in a suburb with good schools but I can’t afford it.

Issues I’m running into include my kid getting good grades, but testing very poorly in math in spite of high grades. There are a lot of social and behavioral issues with the kids at my daughter’s school. A lot of the values amongst the other students don’t match the values i try to teach at home.[/quote]

For math: use Khan Academy each summer. First review the last year’s math, then do the “ready for” class for the next year’s math.

For behavior/values: [b]join a church[/b] (or similar) whose values more closely align with your own. (Doesn’t have to be religious. I think a lot of families use sports for this one.) [/quote]

I once taught a kid who went to my church. He was a super sweet kid so I was excited to have him in my class. Turns out he was just as badly behaved as all the other kids when he was surrounded by them. He just knew all the right things to say on Sunday morning. [/quote]
