[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing that we all just except that private tutoring for fundamentals like reading and math are just one more part of the exorbitant cost of life in Arlington...[/quote] I think it is the cost of living anywhere that has a highly education population. I grew up in AZ and have family in TX. The schools are light years worse (like state test scores in the 10th percent range). The schools are objectively poor. No one gets tutors. Heck I have family with a kid with severe dyslexia. Their charter school in TX basically said they can't meet his needs and he should go private. His parents dismissed it and basically said it will all turn out fine. It is a different culture there.. I have friends that teach in NY in public and private and kids gave tutors there too because it's competitive and parents are educated to know when there is an issue, and they have the finances to do it.
