[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m tired of listening to all these parents talk about their math wiz kids and how they need their kid to be accelerated 3 grades. Good for them - they also can’t string a coherent sentence together without the help of AI and my kid happens to be very creative and artsy (looooves to write).  FWIW I was a B student in math and took 1 math lite class in college so don’t see the need for all this crazy focus on math if it’s not your thing. I found a job and have a career that pays well. Can’t we focus on other things besides math and not punish kids for not being mathaletes ( mine happens to have an IEP for math) which is what this feels like. He could spend all his time on math and still not get more than a C. What happened to being well rounded?[/quote]

Being bad and/or at peace with being bad at math isn't the same as being well-rounded. A well-rounded student can keep up with all subject areas. And just because you "found a job" while being bad at math doesn't mean you are happy or successful or qualified. An art gallerist I know who is really bad at math AND writing got her foot in the door by sleeping with certain people.  :lol:  Nice artsy job for her, but not exactly a career path everyone can replicate or even wants to replicate. Point being, it's better to be good at all subjects so you have more options in life.[/quote]
