[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They didn’t charge that amount.  That’s what it worked out to considering the very small numbers who used it.

And who could’ve guessed so few kids would use it.  Easier for parents to complain on DCUM about FCPS than encourage their kids to try it (PP who tried it for a math problem excepted but that person should try it again — another tutor might be better. The report said most kids who used it gave it positive reviews).[/quote]

This. Also, you don't need tutor.com (or vouchers for Wyzant). Just ask the school for the tutor list and ACTUAL teachers in FCPS can tutor your kid (for pay).

Quit your bi---ing and find a solution that works for you. [/quote]

Yes, this.

First of all, Tutor.com is more of misnomer and I think people had unreasonable expectations about that. It isn't "tutoring" as we think of it (or I do). It's more targeted. Help with homework/specific questions.

But, the list of FCPS teachers is a real thing and we've used it. And it was helpful. More people should do so, imo.

But, I also found reasonable tutors, as have friends, via online groups, in school tutors (e.g., my kid tutors other kids in her language), etc. And I and my DH also pitch in where we are able to and understand the material.

I also agree iwth the "quit your b---ing" and get it done. It wasn't convenient. It wasn't ideal. I don't want to do some of the things I needed to do to fill the Covid gaps. But I did it. I do recognize that some kids will not have the same opportunities for whatever reason. But there is often SOMETHING that will make it up even a little. And lbh, most of us posting here can do something. It's just easier to complain that others are not doing it for you.

It's been 3 years. Get a grip. Make a plan. And just do it. [/quote]

Oh, there are many people with the resources to not depend on FCPS to be wholly competent.

It’s the underprivileged and underserved who really get screwed over. [/quote]
