How do I tell if they're actually learning stuff from my teaching or if its' just their parents helping them at home?
The reason I ask if because one of my struggling math students suddenly was picking up everything I was teaching about regrouping. I was so excited.
Then it turned out her mother had already taught her how to carry the one at home and was making her practice. I was still ECSTATIC, but then I wondered, "What if this happens a lot? If I think I'm this great teacher, when really it's the parents?"
If they're not learning from me, I want to know so I can change my methods
