[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]You clearly enjoyed math and would have done well in it with or without outside help. The OP's child is struggling with the math at school and needs a different kind of help than a child who loves math and naturally takes to it.
Think of something in your life that you struggle with and don't enjoy very much. What if you needed to get better at that skill? What if it is a skill that is not a strength for your parents either? How would you approach learning a skill that didn't play to abilities that you enjoy using?[/quote]

My parents laid the foundation for my enjoyment and success in early life.  Neither I nor the other 4 of my siblings were born with this.  It was nurtured like fine wine.  It was not entrusted or outsourced to random tutors and school teachers.

yeah, but I couldn't tutor my kid if I wanted to. Up to 3d grade, sure.  But then the math in 6th grade was about at my outer limits of knowledge, and in 7th grade it is was beyond my ability to help at all.[/quote]
