[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. My kids are above grade level and in advanced programming at school. If I heard your kid had a tutor I would assume it is because they are behind.[/quote]

The problem is not all schools have advanced programming. The outside supplementing is because some families want more from their school, academically, but can't get it. It's easy to scoff at people in this situation and tell them to change schools, but that's not always an option. [/quote]

Our schools offer pretty much everything, they are top notch schools.  The only ones who use tutors are kids who are behind or having difficulties.  My son had a tutor to help finish his homework.  The school allowed the tutor to come into the high school during my son’s free time 3 days a week and use space there so when the school day was over he was done.

Some of my friends had their kids use a tutor together to make it more fun.  Most had difficulty with math.   If people hid this I think it’s weird. [/quote]
