Well I have spent the weekend trying to teach my daughter some of the easy ways to work out maths sums so that she will get quicker and find maths easier. I know that basically learning how to do mental arithmetic is just a case of lots of practice but hopefully I am making it more fun for her.
I have also been working on her not leaving out words when she reads and she has improved a lot even in the last week. Instead of missing out about 10 words on a long page of text she is now only doing it about twice so I am really pleased with her progress.
Of course if we all had an equal chance of getting our children into a decent secondary school I wouldn't have to be doing all this extra work with her. As it is the only decent school in this town is selective so she needs to pass an exam to get in and I know full well that if I left it to the school she wouldn't have a chance of making it.
