DEAR ABBY: I can't help feeling "Gotta Get Good Grades in Wyoming" needs more than a bright math student to tutor her in math. That student should be tested for visual perception problems. I know. I was 60 years old before I was tested. It doesn't help to understand what to do with numbers if your perceptual problems scramble them. -- PENNY IN BUCKLAND, MA.
DEAR PENNY: I agree. The child should be tested, because the problem could also be dyslexia or some other learning disability.
