Talk me down from the ledge - I'm about to put Sam back in school

Phew!!!!

I do not know if this is good or bad, but I am glad I am not alone! LOL

 

I haven't read all the posts but my ds' are very hands on and they learn by being very hands on. Math, cooking-fractions, building a bird house and using a tape measure, again fractions, addition, etc.

My kids got it by doing it, I am also very hands on and need actual examples to really get the method.

Don't give up, you have more incentive to teach your child math than the ps school does. Hang in there! Most schools don't care if your child does well or not, they will get paid anyway.

IMHO!
