[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a rant/ question. I’m a math tutor. I have this one student who is sooo slow with concepts. She is a junior in high school. I’m talking with negative numbers. I just want to go off on her parents. How can you let your child be this way? She finally started getting tutored but she has the math skills of a 3rd grader. I think there’s no excuse if you’re umc and up. End rant.[/quote] OP, she probably has a learning disability. Some kids struggle with basic numeracy skills due to learning problems or they are slow processors. Language learning disabilities can affect math skills-- especially word problems. You can't "money" your way out of that -- although I do agree that if this is first brush with a tutor and extra help, and her parents have the resources, that is neglectful on their part. [/quote]
