[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s bad optics for the kid. It tells the kid that school is a waste of time. I find it hard to believe there are no other choices (enrichment programs build their business on providing something outside of school hours).[/quote] I disagree that children should blindly agree with a system that doesn't suit them. When it comes to math enrichment it sounds like her school is a waste of time. So she's seeing her mom acknowledge and fix that. Im sure there are other strengths the school has that she sees her parents praise. Its OK to fix things that your school doesn't do well enough.[/quote] If the child is profoundly gifted and this is the only way to get her math training at her level then yeah, sure. If she is a run-of-the-mill UMC kid with above-average math skills and the parents want her to be a grade level ahead in math just ‘cause, then no.[/quote]
