[quote=Anonymous]If a kid is struggling and could benefit from help of a tutor, I understand that. But so often this is more likely the scenario, esp in private schools/affluent neighborhoods: Parents hire multiple tutors for a DC even when DC is not struggling. The kid is tutored all summer to learn next year’s materials ahead of time. The kid shows up in Sep knowing everything and complains they are bored. Parents call the school to demand the kid be put in an advanced track, or if the kid stays in the designated grade, they inflate the bell curve while everyone else who would normally be an A- student is now a B. The family with money gets ahead while everyone else get poorer and become lower performers in comparison.[/quote]
