		<description><![CDATA[I often come in contact with 2 types of parents at work. The first parent tells me that their 3rd grader is doing so well in math that they don&#8217;t think help is needed and the second parent tells me that their 8th grader used to do so well in math but is now struggling.

Having cried her eyes out over Titanic, the other James Cameron movie, I was glad to hear our 12-year old daughter commenting &#8220;that was a fun movie!&#8221;. Our 8-year old, however, did not weather it well. First he refused to cry when the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Teaching and managing my student&#8217;s math potential comes easy and naturally for me. Maybe it&#8217;s because I struggled myself when I was young or maybe I can hear the unspoken questions in my student&#8217;s mind.

&#8220;The pencil treatment,&#8221; my surgeon friend said, &#8221; is placing a pencil in between my fingers [...]]]></description>

&#8220;What does he watch?&#8221; I asked.
&#8220;Those hospital shows, the CSIs, Glee Club, you name it, he watches it.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, my son used to do that also,&#8221; shared another mother.
