[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use a tutor for Honors Algebra and Chemistry.  It appears that a lot of the kids (not all) who r doing really well have tutors, in more than one subject.  Some of the *$ teachers r not really teaching, given that, and with the amount of HW and ECs, I don't see any other way.[/quote]

Let me guess- Sidwell?  I've heard complaints from Sidwell parents that all the kids have tutors b/c the teachers aren't teaching.[/quote]

I'm the parent of two Sidwell grads and a current student.  None has been tutored; all have done well.  Most of the teachers are really good, but there are exceptions, as there at all schools.  That said, among my kids' friends at a a range of schools -- both independents and public --  many more are tutored than I would have guessed to be the case.  What is surprising to me is that many parents don't first urge their kids to seek help from teachers, but immediately turn to a tutor instead.  When our kids have had difficulty, their teachers have been more than willing to help them get up to speed.
