[quote=Anonymous]Why? Because it's an arms race, and everybody is worried about falling behind everybody else. Back in the day - when I was in HS a long time ago - my HS in a medium-sized northeastern state didn't have AP classes, and tutoring for SATs was unheard of. Now everybody who can does SAT tutoring. Why? Because everybody else is doing it and getting that 100-200 point advantage you supposedly (note the qualifier) get from SAT tutoring, so you don't want your own kid to be left behind. Same with tutoring for regular classes like math. My DD's classes are much, much harder than anything I took, and I went to a pretty good high school and then college. And I have to confess, even though both DH and I took math through college calculus, neither of us could help either of our kids in math now. [/quote]
