[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you live in the DMV? Northern VA? Montgomery County, MD? If so, please know that where you live in not normal in terms of how students are considered and evaluated. The expectation there is that every parent is hiring outside tutoring for their children. If you do not spend $500+ on tutoring every month, then your children are labeled average because the tutored kids reset expectations. It doesn't mean those kids are smarter; it just means their parents have the money to drop on outside tutors. The bottom line is that it distorts the whole picture of what is "average". Nervous parents worried their kids are "falling behind" respond by writing posts like this one. Your kids are just fine. Tune out the distorted background noise and help your kids become happy people who enjoy what they do. [/quote]
