Today was my first time at Easley. I’ve never had much experience with that age group, elementary school kids. I found it very hard to keep this age group on task. Focus problems aside, what I found most surprising was little girl who was doing her 1st grade math homework couldn’t add 5+8. Since I don’t have really any experience with this age group, I’m not sure if this is normal or not. Thinking back to when I was that age, I feel like I could easily add simple numbers, granted I have always been way ahead of the curve in math. I found it very difficult teaching her basic addition. I’ve tutored many people in math but I never math this fundamental.
