[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need any of those math extracurriculars. It’s a waste of money and time. [/quote] So what would you instead suggest the OP and many (most?) others in the pyramid should be doing instead? Picketing the front office? Boycotting the school events until the admins decide to focus on actually teaching?[/quote] But who said OP’s kid isn’t being taught. He’s just upset because he does poorly on the pre-assessments. They are doing assessments BEFORE teaching the unit to see where kids are. Mathnasium kids are axing those because they’ve been taught. OP’s kid isn’t. Then he is taught the material at school and gets a 4 on the post-unit assessment. As it should be. [/quote] To me it sounds more like it's a teaching problem, as the OP described both kids in different grades having issues.[/quote] No she really doesn’t. She doesn’t say much about the 5th grader at all. Just that he third graders does poorly on pretests and is on the lowest AAP math group. Big deal. [/quote]
