I am criticizing those who post unverifiable stories about a subject as if it is proof positive that their course is the right way to go.

In post #1 my suggestion was to homeschool, or privately school. If you insist on keeping your child in government school, then teach them math yourself, hire tutors, or use a tutoring service such as Kumon or Sylvan.

This does not sound like "one way to go."

If your child remains in government school, and you teach or have them privately tutored, be prepared for the government school educrats to take credit for the high math scores.

I'm sorry the public schools in your area are so poor.

Such was not the case in my neighborhood.

It's too bad the public schools in your area are inadequate.

I encourage you to work hard to improve local government in your area. That would be far more fruitful than just sitting on the sidelines and not participating in local government; which I'm sure you would never do.
