My kids are taught by me. I do not know if that will be considered tutoring in the same way as OP has meant.  However, no kid is doing well in school without some kind of enrichment at home and parental involvement.

Yes, they are in HGC and magnet.  That is the track they have been on right from the start.  They have easily got into all the possible programs (because they applied to all of the programs they were eligible for) and have been able to do the magnet program of their choice.

I would have been happy to keep them in home schools if I felt that the enrichment there was at an acceptable level. I do not feel that what HGC/magnets are offering here is out of the world. I feel that that level of education and enrichment should be the norm and be available to every one from the K - 12.  However, I am not holding my breath for MCPS to do that.

Wow, it's like you're trying to out-Asian-Tiger-Mom the rest of us (yes, another Asian mom with HGC kids here).  Now I'm wondering if your kids are in *my* kids' HGC classes...because you kind of scare me.[/quote]

Actually I am not. I am just saying what I believe in and don't know what would be the point of trying to "Out-Asian-Tiger-Mom" anybody in an anonymous forum?

I don't know what HGC your student is in, but in the HGC DC is in,  no one is trying to outshine anyone else. It is the most supportive group of parents I have seen, with very socially adept and bright children.

Just curious - why would you be scared by what any other parent or student is doing? How is that affecting you? I found that a very odd statement.  [/quote]
