[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I cared when my kids were this age because with three children, hours of outside specialized math tutoring was unaffordable for us.

And if you get enough kids in a class claiming to be bored and already knowing the material, then the teacher basically rushes through it, reviewing it rather than teaching it.

We left our kid's school because it felt weird not to be able to afford public school -- but when your kids teacher calls you and says that your kid is the only kid in the class who isn't being tutored outside of class, and she can't "slow down" the class for your child and here is the number of a tutor, then essentially you've just made public school unaffordable for our family and presumably lots of others.

but no, that's not limited to math.  IF only kids taking private music lessons get into the orchestra, then it's possible that you can't really afford that PUBLIC SCHOOL if you can't afford the private sports coaching, the private music lessons and the private tutoring.  We had been so excited to be able to afford the house in the 'good neighborhood" but we actually couldn't afford to hang in our neighborhood elementary school in Northern Virginia.    [/quote]
