I appreciate it. Maybe it depends on the individual. Like I said my daughter studies all along in her classes (she never procrastinates). She finds the last second studying helps her to retain relevant facts she might not otherwise remember. For example in an earlier test she had the Unit Circle for Trig down cold. She missed a problem with it this morning in spite of doing all the assigned homework and probably 20 additional problems on top of it. She did not retain the information.
She would never ask for help from a teacher in another subject. At this stage she knows more about subjects outside of the teacher's expertise. When she is in the zone she is actually better in Trig than me, but it comes and goes (for me as well). I have to reinforce decades of learning by looking at the book again to get the information straight. This happens each time I sit down to tutor her in math. I can get into the zone myself, but it takes effort. I am finding a better appreciation for the material the second time around. My daughter is so much better as a High School sophomore than I was as a High School senior in Trig.
