September Grade 9: Subject choice forms go home
The pressure: "Your child is failing maths, choose maths literacy"
The tragedy: Parents agree, not knowing the consequences
The result: 80% of careers become impossible
Once they choose maths literacy, there's NO going back.
All these doors close forever at age 15.
Solve: x² - 5x + 6 = 0
What they need: Factorisation skills from Grade 8
Reality: Most can't even expand (x+2)(x+3)
Result: Fail every test → Choose maths literacy → Limited forever
Without Grade 6-8 foundations, Grade 9 quadratics are impossible.

Survey of 1,847 matric graduates (2020-2023)
"September Grade 9, subject choice form came home. Teacher recommended maths literacy. My son was getting 28%. We tried ExceptionalResults as last resort. MobyMax found he was at Grade 6 level! 3 months intensive catch-up. He scraped through Grade 9 with 45%. Stayed in pure maths. Now in university studying engineering. That R250/month saved his future."
- Patricia M., Durban
"My daughter wanted to be a doctor. Grade 9 maths was destroying that dream - 22% average. School insisted on maths literacy. ExceptionalResults showed she never learned fractions properly! We spent Grade 9 fixing Grade 4-7 gaps. Passed with 51%. Now in Grade 12 with 65% for maths. Medical school is possible again."
- Dr. Naidoo, Pretoria
"Grade 9 term 3, my son couldn't solve x + 5 = 12. The BASICS were missing. 4 months on ExceptionalResults, working through Grade 5-8 systematically. He chose pure maths for Grade 10. Now in Grade 11 getting B's. Without intervention, he would have been another maths literacy statistic."
- Johan V., Cape Town
