Stigma? Like your kid isn’t strong at math so they’ll be treated like they aren’t strong at math and as such given more support? My kid isn’t strong at math. I can’t imagine what sort of negative stigma could be associated with that. Not everyone just “gets it” some people have to work at it. What’s wrong with that?[/quote]

If you look on the thread for placement into algebra 1 you will see the clear stigma on kids who aren’t strong in math. The entire mindset there is that those students are not intelligent and won’t be successful in college. That is for students just placed into Alg 1 not even students needing extra support for Alg 1 materials.

Obviously parents who have children who struggle with math understand that their kids have to work hard to get it and need extra support and see their intelligence in other areas. But it is obvious there is a stigma for students who struggle with math. [/quote]

Thankfully your kids won’t be going to DCUM high. The warped minds here are a very small sliver of any parent body and definitely the ones who at worst, talk crap to their husbands. Your child will be fine. [/quote]
