Another reason for Math tutoring...

Recently I was disturbed by the discovery that while my youngest daughter was in what is considered an honor's level math class at the public school she currently attends that the book she is using in the 7th grade honors class is the same one she used at a different public school system in the 5th grade. This made it clear to me that Math Tutors would be desperately needed to ensure that she did not develop future issues when she entered high school and then college when it came to being behind her college age peers. There has been a disturbing number of students who have needed remedial help when they have entered college and I believe it is this curriculum gap and parents not recognizing it early enough to take advantage of programs like Score to diminish the affect of this school failure on their children.
