[quote=Anonymous]As noted educator/nurse/astronaut/president Barbie said, "Math class is tough!"

Lots of different groups:

Kids that are a generally weaker than the average math kids in class, who need additional support.

Kids who are stronger than the average in the class, whose parents want them to be stronger yet, in the same way that sports dads take their already-good-at-softball daughters to batting clinics.

Kids who are at schools that teach math in a way that doesn't match well with the kid. I love Singapore Math, I think it is an excellent methodology, but there are some kids who are better off with mastery programs that are less theoretical and have more repetition. Other kids, often dyslexic, are better off with spiral programs (Saxon, Schooltime, etc). But there aren't *that* many schools out there, and a school that legit serves well for most subjects for a child, but is subpar for math, through no fault of its own.

Kids who are at schools, often fancy expensive ones, which teach math poorly, because the math curriculum used is terrible, yet aligns with the school's philosophy or marketing approaches. [/quote]
