[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our non-DMV private it is SO common. We didn't realize it for many years, but we eventually figured out that we were basically the only chumps not tutoring our child in something. [/quote]

We are in DMV and we know an AP family that tutors for every single course.  Which tells me that the kid/s probably do not belong in AP.  The parents see it as "well we don't want to dumb our kids down to (the other kids) level", but honestly, if you need to be tutored regularly in every =subject - then it does seem the kid/s is/are in the wrong classes.

That, and you can't have a tutor at work, when the time comes.....[/quote]

Hey, OP -  The above poster is why some people don't talk about it.  If your kid doesn't need one, great!  If the time comes when they do, it's great that you have the resources.  [/quote]

Actually--I make a point to tell just this type of parent that my kids do have tutors--and yes to get ahead---some people in the DMV need to be reeducated and have to learn that it is a free country and for the time being I can control how I spend my money.....[/quote]
