[quote=Anonymous]My kids, now in HS and college, have all been very strong math students; the oldest was a math major and is now teaching middle school math, the second, also a math major, has tutored high school students, and the youngest is a peer tutor at her school. Their response to the claim that students don't study hard enough for the exam is is interesting: "You really can't study for a math exam -- if you don't know the material by then, it's too late. The way to excel in math is to master the material as you cover it. Students who are struggling should seek help along the way, and teachers should know which students need additional instruction and practice long before you get to the final." Furthermore, they agree that too many MCPS students manage to stay on the accelerated track for years only with the support of extensive tutoring. [/quote]
