[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it going with the tutor? What makes you think school is better than 2-4 hours of one on one time?[/quote]

OP here. It’s going well, our tutor is awesome. We were really lucky to find her, she’s a classroom teacher who didn’t want to go back this year. She says they are making good progress and keeping up. It is nice that she can work on “extra” skills that they don’t always have time for in school like grammar with our 3rd grader and note taking with our fifth grader. It’s just really hard to let go of what “should be” and trust that this is enough.

DH thinks it is enough, suffice it say.[/quote]

Will she do more hours?  My kids are at in-person private 5 days a week and I'd consider the tutor an equivalent.[/quote]

OP here. I’ve asked her about this but she thinks it might burn them out. That too much focused one-on-one can become a drag. Right now they’re each getting 2 hours or a little more for the younger one.

It’s hard because in school, you can take breaks and there are specials/lunch/recess that break up the day. You can’t really do that with a tutor who needs to chunk their time with you.[/quote]

I think she is right having done a LMB 2 hour program.  (PP here). If they get that much one on one, what you are doing is just fine.  I would not do in person just based on the cost.[/quote]
