[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ thanks!!

We have a math tutor now.  I was thinking about asking for 6th gr curriculum (a pp suggested) to work w her over the summer.

If kids are behind in math or science, is it sink or swim?  Or do they work with them to catch up?[/quote]

The program of studies for each grade should be posted by the school system, and available online. I don't know if your child is going to FCPS (probably not, since FCPS MS is grades 7 and 8), but this is the 6th grade POS, and you can expand down to get fairly decent idea of what is taught for each subject.

In your shoes, especially if she is weak in math, I would have the tutor work with her on the material covered in the POS, to make sure that she has a solid understanding of the concepts, even if she doesn't know every single nuance. The beginning of the school year is generally spent reviewing previous material and catching kids up, so there will be some time spent on that, but if they are in fact behind, you definitely are better off getting them help outside of school.
