[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first I got into all this tutoring for As. Then I realized private school and other students could help kid learn. Kid needed to take the initiative. A little bumpy but so, so much better. Let the high schoolers know they can manage academic difficulty.

If your kid is failing or really struggling across the board you might need to step in. But at high school level the kid owns the grades. [/quote]

My kids always owned their grades.  We never did tutors, quite frankly because the only kids that used tutors when my husband and I were growing up were the kids that were failing/falling behind.  The rest of us powered through, tried to get extra help at office hours.

We soon realized in accelerated middle school math our kids were only a few that did NOT have a tutor.

I think you are making the assumption people are talking about tutors.  The start of this thread was about an outlier, particularly known 'bad' teacher.  In those instances, anyways, tutor isn't even helpful.  If they aren't clear and nobody can understand what they are asking for and they aren't even sure themselves, all the tutoring hours in the world aren't going to help on tests.  You just got a bad apple.
