[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tutoring is good, but its impact will be lower than you think.

Mainly the kids with motivated parents will want to stay for extra tutoring/school. These are the kids that are likely to succeed anyway.

The kids that have the most trouble come from households that don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to care about school.

They won’t make their kids sign up for tutoring.

Some say the problem starts even earlier, with parents not reading or talking enough to their toddlers or even worse neglecting or abusing them.

It sets kids behind even in kindergarten.

I’d say universal pre-K is more helpful than tutoring, but even that’s not a silver bullet.

We really just need to fix poverty. There’s a strong correlation between family income and educational success.[/quote]

This. Move to Russia if you want socialism.

Your don’t “fix” poverty- that’s cAlled socialism. USA is capitalist last I checked. [/quote][/quote]

You won't ever get rid of poverty, but you can reduce it.  Capitalist societies are capable of that last I checked.

Again, there is a strong correlation between family income and educational success.  We should be working toward reducing poverty and that in turn will boost educational outcomes.

Some people say 2/3s of learning occurs at home.  There's only so much that you can do through schools.[/quote]
