"Child loves math, but way teacher teaches doesn't apply to him."

Transcript:

"Thank you Dr Starr, I'm the parent of a high school student in Montgomery Public Schools. 

The way teachers teach and educate our students is very closely related and I think this is very important.

My child loves math but the way the teacher teaches does not apply to him so he is having a very hard time.


But my child is very shy so he couldn't stand up and ask for help or ask for any other support.


I'm Oriental / Korean and our culture is very... if we ask those kinds of questions to teh teacher, to our culture this is very rude.

He is very shy so he couldn't even ask the counselors.

So he had a really hard time and he struggled for the whole semester.

I understand a student has idea to change the class but if there is any way that we can get (students and parents) can get written notification regarding class changes or a drop of the class, any kind of information regarding class that would be really appreciated since as a parent I didn't get any idea and I didn't know what to do and how can I help my child?

Thank you, Starr."
