Ha ha. I would definitely be outsourcing any Math teaching
beyond 3rd grade level :)
I do know my strengths and weaknesses and Math is def. my absolute weakest. I’m sure I could find someone willing to teach my kid Marh if I would teach theirs English (usually the most hated subject.)
But that, among other things is why I’d rather they get a good well-rounded public school education.
But if it came with too heavy a price tag (addiction) I would not hesitate to act preemptively at the first sign that my kid had any kind of drug/alcohol involvement no matter how many excuses about how “minor” the case.
The earlier someone becomes an addict, the more it totally messes up the entire rest of their lives. If genetics rules the day and I end up with an addicted kid, let it be at 17 or eighteen rather than Middle school years. By then, the key maturation aspects of someone’s personality have pretty much been formed.
If someone starts down the road of addiction at 11, 12, 13 that’s where they are when they finally get sober later on.
So you have a 20–30 yr. old newly sober with the emotional and intellectual maturity level of a 13 yr. old. They’re in an adult body so people naturally expect an adult. Not good.
And private school is no guarantee either. They generally have as much of a problem with drugs and alcohol as any public schools (sometimes more so because of the affluence).
Anyhow, finding a Math teacher for my kid would be pretty small potatoes if push came to shove.
