[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are a way outlier if you are tutoring your kid for pre algebra in sixth.  Which is fine.  But just know that 99% of the other kids do not need a tutor AND it’s not that hard for them.   That will change over the years.  Many will drop down; only a few will move up. Accordingly, you should plan on whatever the tutor cost is now x ten plus the time commitment to stay in this math level.  Compare what would happen to your child if they were in a class for which they did not need a tutor at this stage.  I don’t see a terrible outcome.  Rather, they may believe they are a strong math student, can do it on their own, get good grades, and pursue math through college.  [/quote]
That's not true. Plenty of kids in pre algebra in sixth have parents/tutors/assistance with the course. It's not always because the student is struggling either. With less direct instruction in class, parallel instruction outside the course ensures students don't have gaps. People don't necessarily talk about, but it happens a lot. [/quote]
