Hey genius, do you think it's possible your child does better in math because he/she was properly taught via drills and rote memorization?  Telling someone their child is not as smart as they think is unneccessary and makes you look like an ass.[/quote]

:shock:  Actually, even if your kid has a brain that can grasp Math concepts easily, without practice (and some drills and rote memorization), that advantage is lost.  Yes, many people think their kid is smart, but they think that that is enough. As a result, when there comes a time to "quantify" that smartness to avail of more opportunities, their kids fail. So, maybe the kid is not that smart or maybe the parents are not that smart.

Your job as a parent overseeing your kid's academic success is to nurture their talents and make sure that they work on conquering their weakness.  Math is a subject that anyone can master, if they are given the appropriate instruction and training. If MCPS is not meeting your needs then you make it happen outside of MCPS.

When I hear a child say that they are not good at Math, I hear the doors of many opportunities slamming shut for them!
