re: Schools and teachers are a Joke

A kid shouldn't need extra tutoring if it's smart enough for the subject. Take the low grade and move on. Help them only with shite they are good at. ie. geometry tutor is wasteful, if he needs a tutor, he'll never be asked to use it to earn a living. But if he likes computer shite enroll him in an after school program. Encourage what they are good at, frick the rest.

This is TERRIBLE advice. What grade school level subjects are OK with not mastering? My god your kids better be self motivated.


ETA: I have 2 kids in middle school. I demand A's with some B's mixed in occasionally. I demand this because I KNOW THEY CAN. If they were to start struggling, Damn straight I would be in there doing homework and Making up practice tests for them. If they are trying their damndest and still having trouble with certain subjects, then that is just how life is. Some people struggle with studies and tests. It's ok to struggle (if you are trying). It is not OK to avoid giving your studies your utmost effort, if that is what is required.
