Erudite Math and Science classes

As parents, we often focus on giving our children safety, love, and the chance to succeed. But sometimes we overlook the deeper reason education matters—it’s not just about school. It’s about preparing our children to live with purpose in a complex and often unfair world.

Education is the process by which a child learns to see the world critically—not just as it is, but as it could be. A well-educated child learns to ask questions and to build rather than destroy. These are not test scores—they are values that ripple through generations.
It’s easy to assume change comes through politics, wealth, or influence. But lasting change often starts in a quiet place: a child reading a book, thinking deeply, or asking a difficult question. That is where the world begins to shift.

And while schools play a role, it’s the home that often teaches a child why learning matters. When parents nurture curiosity, when they share stories of struggle and resilience, they plant something powerful—something no one can take away.

Education is not just a way out of hardship. It is a way into humanity. Into understanding others.

If we want a more just, peaceful world, the most radical thing we can do is raise children who are thoughtful, informed, and brave enough to care.

Recently, I was talking to the parent of one of my students. Mom contacted me at the end of March to check if her daughter was ready for the State test (in New York City, math state tests are at the end of April). The girl is in the 4th grade in a good school. She is an amazing girl, very polite and such a nice person! It is a pleasure to work with her.

However, when we started, we found a lot of problems. She didn't understand math concepts and was confused when she read word problems (she was confused about what operation to apply: multiplication or division).

Do you think it's a unique story? Unfortunately, not. It's common when kids haven't understood something, move on to the next topic, and get stuck. It's like an avalanche: something is missing, leading to a misunderstanding of more advanced topics.

All classes are online now, and mom called me after the class to talk. She said she didn't know how many problems her daughter had. And as a concerned mom, she was next to her daughter, listening to what we were doing in classes to review the material later to help her catch up.

We still have time before that nice girl goes to the 5th grade. We still have time to prevent any fears and math anxiety, and frustration. And I am happy she did that because she caught that special moment when parents and teachers still can help the student without killing the budget.

That student has already started working on her problems. She was upset, but she was ready to work with other kids who also had some issues with math. And guess what? I am sure these students will be successful because kids at this early age can understand that even if they have a problem, don't give up, go back to work, find the way, and find the solution.

Even if it's a summer, dear parents, find some time to study and make this time productive so that kids can go back to school prepared.
