[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both kids are failing math- [b]9th grader, algebra 1[/b] and [b]10th grader, algebra 2[/b]. I sent them to mathnasium a couple of months and it’s not helping.

Mathnasium has a system of sort, steps, which may have helped if we started in 7th grade but it’s not helping now with quizzes and tests. They have both kids in a foundation level (meets 2x a week per our contract) that seems far behind and impossible to catch up to the level of their current class level. Should I just drop it? So expensive but a private tutor would be more. We need a tutor, I feel 3x week.
Recommendation how to move forward. T[b]he kids just don’t get the concepts,[/b] they have short term memory too- coupled with a shitty teen attitude, I’m at a loss.[/quote]

[b]Oh no, oh no! You have started shockingly late.[/b]  If they are struggling in Algebra 1 and 2,  there is no way that your kids were ever great at Math in ES or MS -  so you are waking up only now?

Mathnasium cannot help you immediately with the Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 content because your kids are so far behind with Math and pre-algebra.  It will take them the time it will take to bring them up to speed.  [b]I shudder to think what your kid will do[/b] junior year.  It is rough.

[b]If your kids work very hard every single day, and you also work very hard with them every single day, and maybe  private tutor works very hard with them a few  day, there is a chance that your kids can catch up in a few months[/b].
