thank you everyone! You have all allayed my fears about outsourcing.
And I can - I have a brother who is an actuary and tutors high school maths just for fun, because he loves to see kids learning and enjoying the subject. And if he can't I will find someone who will enjoy playing with maths - I don't want him racing through grade levels for the sake of maths if that makes sense. I just want him to have fun exploring concepts, ideas, finding new ways to solve problems that he comes up with etc.
Right now I am discovering that I am no longer afraid of maths - as I work through LOF with the boys as bedtime reading. We are all just having loads of fun with it. But I AM nervous about needing to assist with anything beyond basic algebra.
I'd say right now it's more the way Nathan in particular phrases his questions that have me going "say what?". He just learns so damn fast and sees numbers in a totally different way to nearly everyone I know.
