[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it common for people to be sending their kids to Mathnasium and having a reading/writing tutor in third grade? That seems kind of insane to me.[/quote]

Does everyone do it? Obviously not.

Is it insane? Maybe for you, but not for us and many other families. So please keep your judgement to yourself if it isn't helping the discussion.

Mathnasium is fun for him and he has a few friends that go with him.

Writing tutoring is something that we observed as something that he could improve upon and he does better with instruction from people other than his parents.

It is TOTALLY insane for you to have your elementary school child who is clearly not behind in this kind of tutoring.  No wonder anxiety and suicide rates are so high in American youth.[/quote]

Thank you for your judgement and calling me insane. That really helps foster a helpful discussion. I have not attacked you yet have now felt the need double down. I am sorry if I offended you.

I am just trying to do my best as a parent. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. And I will not judge how you parent. Is my child happy? I really hope so. I know that he was absolutely crushed when he didn't get into AAP while his older brother did. He wanted to put the work in to get in the following year. We agreed on a plan and asked him to let us know when he wanted to stop. We will reassess how we want to move forward because what we did as a family clearly didn't work. But he will know that we are trying our absolute best to provide him with as much support as we can. I hope that you can understand that not impose your judgement on me and how we raise our children.
