[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 402498, member: 8831"] [SIZE=2]umm....she's probably telling you the truth.[/SIZE] thats *EXACTLY* what happened here. it was the schools convoluted nonsensical way or the highway. the pressure to succeed without having been given the tools to do so was unreal. it took me moving mountains to fight the system...ultimately my difficult child 2 ended up on a modified day with math being taught afterschool with a one-on-one teacher who was forced into teaching a more traditional curriculum. to this day, we still fight the battle of the contemporary math. its all over the map, and there is no focus on mastery of anything. its a nightmare...our situation re:math gets worse by the minute due to the schools resistance to solve the problem on their end. i'm already thinking of putting her in some kind of tutoring situation over the summer. we have a unique situation where we change districts at the end of this year and i've already been in contact with them so i know where the focus needs to be, and i've also been told in no uncertain terms is this an issue NOT specific to mine--they are having to reteach a large majority of the incoming kids. i saw what happened here and my heart breaks for yours--i'm telling you, from an adult standpoint, *I* probably would melt down regularly too. and mine will tell you, it was the direct cause of her budding GFGdom. (of course, there are a myriad of other factors, lol, but if you ask her, she'll flat out tell you, it was math) [/QUOTE]
