This can work fine for a couple years, but at some point they'll hit subject material which takes effort to master. Unfortunately too many smart students in public schools will not make the effort.<br /><br />We have average smart children. It has been wonderful that we can keep moving them along at a pace that has them struggling some. This way when they hit hard topics they know how to buckle down and study, and are willing to do so.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.com
