Denise

Remember Denise, the homeschooled child I had for a few weeks at the beginning of the semester?

The mom taught Denise Geometry first and then Algebra. The kid couldn't pass the state test for Geometry, since it is heavily algebra based. (I tried explaining that to the mother, she told me I was wrong.)

I noticed on another blog that a mother was looking for a tutor for 7th grade math (the beginning of the push in Algebra). And Denise's mom posted that she could tutor this.

Heaven help the tutee. And let the buyer beware.

Yep, teachers can be easily replaced.
