My mother taught me how to read when I was three. I even won an award for it in the first grade but I was categorized as slow because I struggled with math. My father tutored me with math when ever he was onshore but it quickly became apparent that I needed extra help. My parents turned to Sylvan Learning center for outside resources. I can honestly say that it was a complete waste of time. It would have been cheaper for my parents to sit me down at the kitchen table and force me to do my homework. The only good thing about SLC is that I picked up a few dates while I was there.
/sidenote: Even though my math skills border on unbelievable my reading and writing skills have always been above testing standards. Please do not take your sons short comings in a subject area as a deterrent. As important as it is to encourage him to improve it is almost as important to encourage him in his strengths. I promise your encouragement will help balance him out more then any paid tutor.
/sidenote x 2: I’m fucking wasted.
