[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1.  The problem is that girls in Holton MS will not be prepared for the top notch classes because the curriculum is so slow and limited. So they need extra math. Trust me when I say that the top math girls in MS all supplement. It should not be necessary for the price tag and really exacerbates the wealth gap. [/quote]

This is true. All the top students at Holton have science and math tutors.

That’s obviously wrong. My DD is a top student and has never had a tutor. [/quote]

What grade is she in?

Most girls do have a tutor for at least one subject. Often multiple subjects. Especially when the girls hit junior year.
10th grade Chemistry is a tough class and many of the girls have an outside tutor [/quote]

Definitely not.most girls[/quote]

Uh no they don’t. You’re fooling yourself to rationalize the outside spend. Girls are supposed to be going to the teacher, and in our experience.  they’ve always been highly responsive and supportive. Maybe your DD needs to advocate for herself more with her teachers, organize her time better at school, and stop relying on your pocketbook to solve her problems. — US Parent of 2 girls[/quote]
