[quote=Anonymous][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]

Not  insane at all.  My kids were never "behind" according to their teachers, but I saw gaps and a need for more time on concepts and fluency as there is just not enough time in the school day IMHO. Some parents do it themselves or use Khan Academy or other resources.  Personally, I didn't have time to focus on it with them myself, so I outsourced to Mathnasium at different points in their ES years.

Some people have different priorities than you do, PP and it does not make them insane nor make their children anxious or suicidal, what a ridiculous thing to say.

+1. My kid isn’t behind either, but I am frustrated by the lack of good writing instruction in the schools. One teacher cannot possibly work with all the kids to make them better writers. Heck, she’s so busy trying to get some of the kids to just read on grade level. We outsource as well and it has been wonderful for DC![/quote]
