[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would like to find out how some of the kids are doing well. Are they being tutored? 
The teachers are so often wrong about basic stuff. The tests are almost always harder than the homework. The worksheets are poorly written. They are trying to "craft" a curriculum with "full"understanding. Like they want the kids to be "literate" in math. That comes after the basic wrote understanding, which they have not achieved yet. They need to get real, this a large school system with tons of kids in each class. Get back to basics and use a textbook. ANY textbook. 
I will just have to write off my kids being math majors in college. [/quote]

It’s my understanding that the kids who are doing well are being tutored. But in some cases, having a tutor doesn’t necessarily prepare you for the quizzes in the honors classes. As one of the posters mentioned before, the questions on these quizzes sometimes come out of left field and the response is that this is an honors class and you should be able to figure it out,never having seen that type of problem before.
