Privileged families. IOW married parents. Working parents. Parents who graduated high school maybe even college so value education

I helped my daughter through her math difficulties by sitting and working every problem with her

I told my kids from Day One, the School and the teachers are not responsible for your education, YOU ARE!

My kid is quite good at math, and he came to me with a problem in pre-Calculus that I tried to work out. After a few minutes he told me “I even tried using the midpoint formula and couldn’t do it.” After I was sitting there like a dummy, essentially trying to DERIVE the midpoint formula from first principles.

I said to Kid “You mean you have a formula?” He said “Yes.”

We worked it out.

Then he wanted to tell his friend he’d solved it, because his friend was also having trouble.

I told him “Don’t be surprised if your friend already figured it out but didn’t tell you”. Which is how it turned out. I told Kid “Well, at least you both got the same answer.”
