[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is in Alg 2 in 8th grade and says it's the only class that's not boring. Translation: the only class where she needs to pay attention. Her version of paying attention means doing the freshly assigned homework while the teacher is expounding the day's problems, and then reading for the rest of the period. She occasionally finds errors in the problems, and as soon as she nears the teacher's desk, the teacher goes "OK, what have I got wrong now?".

I don't think she will ever find math difficult in MCPS. She takes after her mathematician father. Her older brother and I had a less happy relationship with math... even though I'm a research scientist. You can still enter STEM disciplines without liking math!

Yeah, right. What a genius you have![/quote]

I know! All that hand wringing, about the savant Young Sheldon child correcting the teacher! The anecdote just suggests a poor attitude towards the teacher, likely stoked by parental encouragement.[/quote]
