The Important Tools– What Should I Ask My Child? Instead of, “How was your day?” ask: “What were your last FAIR scores?” “Are you ready to work with me in Achieve 3000, Think Thru Math, or ST Math?” “What assignments do you have in FOCUS?” “Let’s go look at how you’re doing in FOCUS….” AND LET THEM ANSWER THE QUESTIONS (NOT YOU)!
