Tim I have to share this with you. My Calculus student came to me for tutoring, and the problem was a basic Physics problem which she knows how to do, but it was a little different, she never did it this way before, hence she can not do it. She is frustrated. In addition, after we derived the formula needed, she got upset with me because her teacher would not except it that way. Wow! I thought she would be excited about learning something. It is not her fault, she wants to please her teacher and pass the course. I really feel bad for these kids. They have all this pressure to pass a test, Oh and make sure you do better then the ones in another country too.
