"We don't wait until children drown before they get swim lesson...in math we do. Lou Matthews"

Just finished a coaching session with a young Bermudian boy. We struggled together and he worked so hard to master this particular 'algebra' skill that keeps popping up. I wanted to step in several times but realized I needed him to have some trouble spots and work through. We stayed with it and by the end we were close to mastery.

I wish I could do more to convince families - Black families, what's possible when children are coached in mathematics - We don't wait until children drown before they get swim lesson. And we shouldn't wait until children fail to give them the skills they need to succeed.

I get it. School math hasn't been kind to families. Many of my friends and family can point to memories of being ridiculed, excluded, made to feed dumb, in the "dumb" classes. That was wrong. It doesn't have to be your child's future.

Let me help you change that
