[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think I they should get their tuition back, because then you'll see more slacking off.

I think part of the problem is that many kids are loaded with tutors in high school.  Then they get into a top school and they're on their own.  I think parents shouldn't start the tutoring in the first place so that kids end up in colleges they can handle and they learn to count on themselves.[/quote]

AGREE.

I come from a MC family and was shocked when I learned ([b]at a W school in Montgomery County) that when rich kids encounter any difficulty, their parents hire a one one one tutor. [/b]
With intensive one-on-one remediation, the kid usually pulls up their grade. But that is in no way a level playing field.

They have to either do the work, or ask the teacher for extra help (at lunch, like my kid did) OR accept that they are not going to a T 20school. 
Those outcomes are ALL okay.

People on this site even discuss how to find tutors for kids away at college. People, this is not a sustainable plan longterm. Accept the child you have. [/quote]

Please, enough with this gossip.      I don't know a single W parent of my kid's friends who did this.   [/quote]
