[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 yo is determined to be an engineer but is actually gifted in language arts but only average in math. Should I put him in math tutoring or try to encourage things like debate club so he can maybe see some alternative paths?[/quote] My 8 yo wants to be Barbie. Do you really think what they want to be at age 8 will determine their future actual career path? (A) and do you really think that you know at age 8 whether or not your kid could be good at math in the future? (B). Most 8 year olds are in 2nd or 3rd grade. They haven’t had enough time in school to know what their math skills will likely be as an adult. I don’t think you could possibly know whether your kid has a likely future in engineering until high school at the earliest.[/quote]
