We chose to give some graded tests in high school, not so much for our benefit, but so that our college-bound students could get used to taking cumulative exams. We have always taught for mastery.

If math is bringing you both to tears, maybe your curriculum isn’t a good fit! Have you seen my blog post on choosing math curriculum? Maybe this will help:

You know, we can’t make our kids *love* math, but usually it’s a mismatched curriculum that makes kids *hate* math. Check it out and see if that will help! {{hugs}}

My oldest is in 7th grade. Math is NOT her thing. It brings us both to tears.

High School–can’t think of that right now. But I should be.

Thanks for the post.

Thank you for writing this post. As a mother of a high-schooler, I sometimes stress about tests and transcripts, as we prepare for college. I appreciate the reminder to stay focused on mastery.

Our family has decided to for-go test grades and focus on mastery. It’s easier and more stress-free this way.
