"How to access my child's grades?"

Families often ask.........................

How can I help my child with Math homework?
What are children learning about measurement in today's classroom?
The work my child does in class looks very different from the work I did as a child.  What happened to the practice worksheets containing 15 or 20 problems to answer?
My child never does timed tests in math class.  I thought that speed and getting right answers quickly were important in mathematics.
Why aren't students learning to add, subtract, multiply, and divide like we did?
My child sometimes comes up with answers that do not make sense. How can I help my child recognize that the answer is not reasonable?
Kids spend a lot of time building and measuring things in math class.  Isn't it alot quicker to just use a formula to solve problems - like I did and still do?
In my child's classroom, calculators are always available. Shouldn't students have to know how to do calculations by hand first?
My daughter has always been a great mathematics student. This yea, she was placed in an algebra class.  She has struggled with her homework and is now faoling her mathematics tests.  She now says that she is not good in mathematics because she does not understand algebra.  I spoke with her teacehr who told me that girls her age often go through phases.  How can I help her regain her condidence in mathematics?
