[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 20:44, if your child is being asked to be tutored, they are obviously not performing to the level of the other students in the grade.  It's not the right school for your child, you should find one that is the right fit for them.[/quote]

It is not my child, but the request has been made of many families. Some of these kids have those famously very high WPPSI scores that we are all so fond of in this area. It is well known that the better teachers get the kids who are thought to be more average, and the poor teachers get the kids who are so smart, they don't need to be taught. Every now and then, there is a bright kid who needs instruction, and it turns out to be a bad mix. Also, there are no SN kids at Norwood, the kids are well behaved, bright, eager, and the classes are small. Seems like it should be easy as pie. 
I have heard similar complaints at Sidwell, teachers getting used to the idea of the genius that just self teaches. [/quote]

This is an interesting perspective .  I have a child at Norwood who is tutored in reading ( outside tutor, at home)   Lower school. [/quote]
