Sarah Ingham. PleaseSo Sarah wrote down the 12 times tables, in order. Then Isla wrote what you had to times 12 by to get the number. So she had to write the numbers 1 to 12, in order.
I was just going to say this, as I have a child just finished year 4. For most in his class the work they did in year 4 was working on the speed of being able to recall them, having already learnt times tables up to 12x12. I would have absolutely no problem with someone being homeschooled taking things at their own pace, that would be a big benefit of home schooling, not having to push doing tests just because they are a certain age if you know they aren't there yet. However, this is the child that when at school seemed to be at least of average ability, if not above. She wanted to learn more.Isla is about to go into year 6. Usually there is a massive push for learning times tables in year 4 and the national times tables test at the end of year 4. Isla seems to have completely skipped this. Its not something that is confined to one maths lesson a week, its something that requires constant practice at random times of the day to practice instant recall. Where is/was the times tables square you would expect to see around the house/learning space, where are the text books ? Why is she still writing with a pencil? It's really scary how behind she is.
I also bet sarah has no idea that the 50 times tables are now a thing they need to know for the year 4 test.Isla is about to go into year 6.

50? I need practise!!I also bet sarah has no idea that the 50 times tables are now a thing they need to know for the year 4 test.
In the GCSE syllabus with other sequences.50? I need practise!!
Quite some years ago, I was introduced to the Fibonacci sequence, also known as the Golden Rule in mathematics I think?
It’s fascinating- highly recommend looking it up as the pattern appears all over Nature.
Now trying to calculate that, for me, was a serious brain workout.
In the days when I had to negotiate Los Angeles rush hour traffic - several hours - I’d see how far I could go up. It passed the time and had my brain woken up and ready for work/study.
Do they teach it in schools now? I think Isla would find it fascinating and be going out looking for it in books, online etc. She so desperately needs a mentor.
Please, Sarah - you’ve failed your first two kids, and are well on the way to failing your last two. At least have mercy on one of them. It’s not as if you truly care what happens to her anyway, we can all see that.
cause most schools would see the red flags immediatelyI've noticed that with a lot of these families on YT, that they home school their kids. I always wandered why that was.
Yes I did, isabelle was thrusting her chest into creepy, it was totally inappropriate & embarrassing to watch!Did anyone else find issy’s behaviour with creepy weird ?
Sarah looked confused at times a well, like she didn't know the 12 times tables herself.So Sarah wrote down the 12 times tables, in order. Then Isla wrote what you had to times 12 by to get the number. So she had to write the numbers 1 to 12, in order.
