[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im in Loudoun.  My son is doing Algebra 1 in 7th, Geometry in 8th. Thia tracka him to AP classes by 11th grade and opens the door to some AP computer science electives.

We keep him ahead of the curve , so math is never a struggle or painful, with 3hrs of supplemental one on one tutoring all school year. We also do 3hrs a week of toutoring all summer so he doesn't lose anything. This summer he's already worked well into Gometry, so the first quarter will be fine tuning what he's already been introduced to.[/quote]

This is what messes things up!  Her child isn't really ready for those classes.  He's being pushed and pre-taught so he can keep up.  This is not sustainable for your child.  Nice that you get bragging rights, but that is not going to help him when he's facing apart emotionally from all of the pressure.  [/quote]

She doesn't trust her kid's ability to do it on his own. That is the part that will stick with him. And I bet he'd so fine with out the tutor.[/quote]
