[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind free tutoring for kids who are income eligible but there is no reason to offer for parents who can pay.[/quote]

You’re welcome to that opinion, but I disagree with you. It’s a public school system and they are using federal covid funds to remediate learning loss. Students who “can pay” also experienced the pandemic and those who are taking the time to seek out tutoring should be eligible for this remediation aa it was intended for all students who need it. The funds needed to be spent/allocated within a certain timeframe. Using this tutoring isn’t taking away the opportunity for anyone else. Going forward, it will be available for students who present the greatest academic need. That is how this is all supposed to work. [/quote]

What do you define as who can pay?  Not all of us have high salaries and live in a million-dollar or more-a-year house.  Some of us don't do things like vacations, fancy clothing, fancy cars but still are financially ok BUT tutoring is a luxury.  All kids deserve to get it, not just the wealthy.[/quote]

That was my point. We agree. :)

Also agree it’s impossible to define who “can pay.” [/quote]
