- Failure to focus. Each year of education should focus on a set of topics that have specific objectives for learning. New topics should be introduced every year, along with added depth of study of topics that were introduced in prior years. Each topic should become more challenging each year, not just the same as it was the year prior.
- Too much repetition. Generally, a topic should be studied for three to four years. Basic multiplication does not have to be taught every year from age 7-13. The child should have mastered the multiplication tables (1-12) by age 10 or sooner. That’s four years (ages 7, 8, 9, 10) of learning them. Failure to do so may indicate a lack of sufficient effort and study time or a learning disability.
