Of course, learning should never stop but seriously how many parents could even understand calculus much less teach it.

It is more because of intelligence levels, only after a certain point does desire play any role. You know who would fail this in overwhelming numbers.

I loved math but have to agree with the poster that kids go into it hating and fearing math.

Intelligence levels. Snort. In any case, we’re not talking differential equations here. In a healthy kid with no learning disabilities, the kind of stuff on this test shouldn’t pose a problem for learning. If the kid wants to learn and has a teacher capable of teaching it.

I love Math. Took Calculus II as an easy elective.

Language....that was another story! I picked my major cuz it didn’t have a 2nd language requirement.

Homeschooled my kids in Kumon Math. (My dad homeschooled me in Math. I loved our time together.) Used Hands on Algebra when they were in the third grade. It was amazing to see they understood the concepts! Also homeschooled them in US history.

My kids learning English, I was at the mercy of the teachers! Did take them to the library every week. LOL.

I’m a left-brainer.

Usually counter but she can go either way with me so maybe I’m BI?!
