An article today in the Washington Post stated that the National Mathmatics Advisory Panel has called our nation’s math education system "broken."  Our nation’s students are flagging on math and science test scores, a serious concern for our country if we want our country to have a presence in the global technology in the years to come.  Already other countries are beginning to gain a foothold over what was once the leading country in scientific and technological advances.

For concerned parents, reports like this demonstrate how problematic our public school education system has become.  Since it’s not likely to improve anytime soon, what are we do to?  Unfortunately, seeking outside help is a necessity, so you might want to consider Washington DC tutoring.  Even though we are guaranteed a free education for our children, we can’t depend on it to teach them what they need to know, but Washington DC private tutors can help us to pick up the slack.

Although this panel was not designed to report on it, reading scores are pretty poor in the U.S., too, so you might also consider looking into Washington DC reading tutors.  Reading is a critical skill that all kids need to excel in school and, ultimately, in a career.
