Does Your Child Love School and Math?
For many parents, the answer to this question is a definite no. Yet, most parents do not take action about their child's future early enough. Educational research shows that if a student struggles with math as early as the 5th grade he or she has a 79% chance of not graduating from high school. Is your child or grandchild struggling in math? Do you know if your child is doing grade-level work?
