[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a middle schooler so I’m not there yet, but I’ve heard “everyone” has a tutor. Is this because the material isn’t being effectively taught in the classroom? Is it so students perform well on standardized tests? Is it to get ahead in a subject matter? It doesn’t seem limited to struggling students... Everyone & their mother has a tutor and it’s not cheap! [/quote] At my DS's school, algebra is taught at a higher level than I remember it + a lot more homework. It's difficult for him to keep up without extra instruction. That may not be the case for all students, but DS just doesn't have the quick processing speed to do well without a lot of practice and instruction. [/quote]
