Leticia Coronado is a tutor for schools in Fort Worth, Texas, where she has targeted schools with math deficiencies. “Due to ongoing problems with students not meeting state academic standards, the Fort Worth school board…authorized spending of approximately $750,000 this school year to hire college and high school students as English and math tutors ” (Vaughn). Coronado believes that basic studies such as mathematics and English should be the school's first priorities. Many schools did not dedicate enough time to the study of mathematics and spent too much time on the arts. Children will become too fascinated with their arts and spend all their time doing it, and not spend any time on math at all. People like Coronado understand the importance of the arts, but they really know that math is a core subject for a reason. Mathematics will be used in life more than any other subject.
