Math’s not everybody’s strong suite. It’s not mine, for sure. Be happy she made it, and concentrate on what she’s good at.

You know how hard she worked, so be proud of her. Math just isn’t some people’s thing. My younger sister had to do summer school for math in grade school, lost a job as a grocery-store checker because she couldn’t make change, but liked high school geometry. My sister-in-law finally passed college algebra on the 3rd try with a tutor but didn’t really have any trouble in any of her other classes to get her degree in commercial art. Your daughter’s talents just lie in other areas.

As an elementary teacher, it was sometimes hard for me to work with my own children on their homework. Maybe if she needs help on her next math class you should consider getting her another tutor, just because it’s hard to back off & not let emotions get in the way on either side.

Well you should be happy with her if she is trying…maybe you should get her some tutoring…private tutors might be a little expensive but the school should offer some type of tutoring…I have a hard time with math myself but when I really push myself I do ok…Its not easy. All she needs is that one person to explain in to her where she understands it. I am in college and I hate math I struggle and always have. I had to take algebra twice and the 2nd time around I got a B…it all had to do with the teacher…I had a hard time understanding the teacher the first time I took it but the 2nd time around I had an awesome teacher who explained it to me in a way I understood. It just depends on your learning style. But I would not be disappointed if she is truely trying.

Happy, i was the same way freshman year bordering failure in alebra 1 but after tutoring i raised that to a 99 the second semester. I just finished algebra2/trig honors with a 98 for the year. Theres still hope, just practice and tutoring will help and try to make it seem fun for her, like a puzzle or challenge. Hope it helped and good luck in the future!

My daughter struggles considerable with school work too, and I used to get angry and come down on her really hard, but I realize now, that it doesn’t help the situation, it in fact makes it worse. They need to be encouraged and brought up. SO be happy for her, and encourage her to just keeping doing her very best, and let her know that as long as she does her very best you will be proud of her no matter what.

That depends… Did you take a look at the test to see if there Easy or really difficult? I think that you should see if your daughter has a disibility envolving math or numbers… If she doesn’t you should be both dissapointed and proud of her…

what i figure is, is that everyone has a limit to how much they can learn. also everyone has got one thing that they are really good at. so what if in your daughters case its not math. however we are taught and told that all that matters is you try your best. she obviously did so i think you should be extremely happy and proud of her.

consider a private tutor. at my old high school, you need to pass algebra, then geometry to graduate.

encourage her as much as u can. never let her down from ur side. soon she will get interest in the subject
