[quote=Anonymous]Tutoring is a function of wealth more than anything else. In my wealthy neck of the woods where the public/private school breakdown is 50/50, nearly all kids are tutored, whether for remedial or getting-ahead purposes. My oldest has ADHD and needed tutoring by us in elementary, and outside tutors in middle and high school, to get straight As. The costly kind: one-on-one, in-person by excellent people, from $90 to $250/hr. My second is gifted, organized, and everything you could wish for academically. We're still going to get her SAT test prep to ensure a perfect score. This has financial repercussions: A. It's cheaper than 70K a year at Sidwell, and the kids in private still get tutors. B. Oldest got merit aid in college for his high stats. I expect second kid to do the same. [/quote]
