[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to know how good these kids would do on testing and grade if[b] EVERY SINGLE parent [/b]stopped teaching at home or paying for tutors.  Seriously, I don't think the schools have any idea what a crappy job they are doing! [/quote]

I don't teach math or have a tutor for my DC.  If DC has a question, I will answer but I don't sit with DC and go over the HW.  DC is in compacted math and seems to be doing fine on Dc's own.[/quote]

Yes I know your DC will run circles around mine because I have to work with her.  Yours is perfect.  Congratulations! :roll:  [/quote]

Sarcasm wasn't necessary PP.  I was addressing the other Pp's comment that EVERY SINGLE parent was tutoring their kid.  I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other parents that don't tutor or supplement much at home.[/quote]

PP again- I have two high performing kids and I am very upfront when people ask me about my "secret".  I tell them that I WORK very hard with them.  Maybe your child is very smart naturally.  Your comment though is like nails on chalkboard to me because sometimes when I meet parents of other high performing kids they make similar comments and I later find out what they initially told me isn't true.  I love it when I meet the mom who is honest and says- yup I worked really hard with my kid to get him/her in the HGC program or whatever.[/quote]
