[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes it's a thing.
When my kid was in 3rd grade their teacher told us that pretty much every student in her class had a math tutor.
She recommended we got one and we did. We STILL need a math tutor now kid is going into 10th. [/quote]

So its mostly to get ahead? Or for kids who are struggling? There is not a lot of homework in ES so just confused why the need for tutors? [/quote]

It's to keep up with compacted math and advanced math. So many more kids are put in those groups as the "norm" when really they should be in the lower grouping, due to pressure from parents and from administrators (better grades = more funding). Its been going on for years and years.[/quote]

You don't think people would lie to get a spot in a magnet program? Are you sure you live in MoCo?[/quote]

I live in Bethesda and my kids attend Walt Whitman. 
I didn't say anything about people lying or magnet programs. You're not having a conversation with just one other person, you realize. [/quote]
