[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you were a kid, college wasn’t an assumption. Now, more kids are going to college, so there is a push to make things more academic. You see it as not academic, yet in FCPS and MCPS and Arlington there is a push to get all 8th graders to take algebra and have 6th graders take it as well. More kids are taking AP classes than when you were a kid. So basically, you perspective is skewed and things are more academic so parents want their kids to get even further ahead and they use tutoring to help. [/quote] Parents use tutors because school districts chase the latest fad curriculum and because society does not value education, most teachers today are the bottom of the heap. Today’s K-12 administrators are almost singularly focused on social justice issues. [/quote]
