I guess I'm thinking from a homeschool perspective. We are actually tutoring and know if a child is getting something or not.

But aren't there things that are important for memorization like multiplication? I can't imagine not struggling if I didn't know the tables by heart.

How do you tutor based on their major and how do you assess them?

Or the student figured out how to give the right answer without understanding the concept. Or, any number of things can go wrong. It's not usually too big of a deal, except that the longer a student goes without understanding it, the harder it is for them to believe they can understand it.

I could see that happening.

I've never had the money to buy much lego, but we sure do have quite a collection. lol It's one of the few things I'm making sure gets to Texas with us.

I always bought the kits on sale. January is the best time.

I don't know for sure. You'll have to keep trying and I'll let you know later.
