[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child attends public school and has many classmates that are 2 years (or more) ahead in math.

Did your child get there because you personally tutored them, or did they go to something like  AOPS or Russian School of math to get ahead several grade levels?[/quote]

Most kids who are 2 (and especially more than 2) years ahead don’t need to be “tutored”. They see it and they understand.[/quote]

What a bizarre comment. Any student who isn't tutored is not stretching their potential into difficult topics.[/quote]

That’s not true.  The very top math students have a knack for math and will do fine without any tutors. [/quote] Those students can do much, much more than "fine" with the right support. We all do them a disservice if we set "fine" as the standard for them, as they then never develop the discipline and emotional skills to cope with doing math that actually challenges them, which leads to them struggling in college or grad school.[/quote]
