What makes you think this isn’t a very real dilemma for lots of families?[/quote]

Then that's even sadder, fretting over a 'B' in middle school.[/quote]

As another poster commented, the 'B', isn't the issue.  It's the mastery or lack of mastery of the concepts that are the foundation for the higher level math concepts.[/quote]

I was a “b’ kid in math.  It wasn’t that I didn’t understand it. I had a really hard time doing the basic calculations correctly. I would understand exactly what I was supposed to do, but would hurry to complete things and make stupid basic math errors. Not all mistakes are misunderstandings, some are just attention and exactness related. I took AP calc in high school my junior year and was fine. I would look closely to see the kinds of things your daughter is missing.  The types of mistakes are important.[/quote]

This is true.  I’m wondering why so many were in a hurry to finish.   If I  knew what I was doing I would luxuriate over the paper taking my time.  What a good feeling![/quote]
