[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in 4th grade in a gifted class. I was surprised to find out out that most kids in her class have tutors and do extra math or writing despite doing well. My daughter is doing fine, but sometimes feels insecure about her abilities because many of her classmates already know the material before it is taught. I can't help being annoyed with all these parents giving their children extra work to give them a leg up and I don't understand why you would hire a tutor if your child is doing fine. Maybe I am missing something. Can anyone explain to me why you would do this?[/quote]

Kuddos to those parents for valuing education and pouring resources into it. We all do what we can and what we value. I'd understand it more if you criticised them for buying their kids expensive clothes or something, but extra lessons and extra work? Good for them! Maybe one of those tutors will inspire one of.those kids who will then go on to discover who knows what! You never know how far you can go until you push yourself![/quote]
