[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure I understand the problem.  Is it that OP's kids aren't being taught the math they're supposed to learn for that grade, or is it that they feel bad because other kids are more advanced?

If it's the former, take it up with the school.  There's a set of standards for each grade level that they should be following.  If it's the latter, that's a very poor reason for doing math tutoring.  If your kids are behind, do tutoring.  If they love math and want more, do tutoring.  Don't do it just to keep up with the Joneses.  The bottom group that your kids are in is apparently the group of kids who haven't been pre-taught all of the grade level math.  There's nothing wrong with being placed in that group and then learning the material that they're supposed to be learning.  [/quote]

I agree, OP needs to give us more specific info in terms of what is the problem with both kids, if they want a better assessment of what they should do.[/quote]

I want my kids to be happy well adjusted well rounded kids. I want them to have a happy childhood.

Both my kids and I don't like my smart kids who are good at math to be in the lowest math group when they are actually good at math. I don't want my kids to be at a disadvantage.

I'm not the type to keep up with the Joneses in terms of material items. I don't like my kids being in the lowest math group when they are actually good at math. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm sick and on meds making me groggy.[/quote]
