Do you have a child who has severe difficulty with math concepts? This includes time, money, and all things you normally think of as "mathematics."

She's 14 now, and this year we are going to tackle the Alpha set of Math-U-See. Yes, fourteen. Up until now nothing has stuck in that pretty head. But, as I said before, I have hope!

I am hopeful that we will get to move into Beta before the summer's over, which deals with addition and subtraction of multiple digit numerals.
