[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a Tiger Parent, but do consider As to be expected. My son, who has learning disabilities but is a methodical, hard-working person, had straight As in most of his dozen APs and other courses taking in high school. He had tutors for some subjects, which I consider part of a normal education[b] (my mother and siblings had governesses and tutors at home, why not this generation of kids?[/b]).

Please retire the Tiger Parent concept and parent according to your lights and the kid you have.

Really???  Are you from the US?  Growing up I never knew anyone with a tutor who didn't have severe academic issues and I only heard about governesses in books.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I am European and I am indeed talking about a real governess, one who teaches and lives with the family. And my dear PP. Parents who can afford it hire tutors for their kids as early as elementary school, for remedial and enrichment purposes. Today, in the DC area.

But if you have a good school and engaged parents, it should not be necessary.

Unless you are trying to gain some advantage (that is not available to most others), that won't be evident from the kid's school record is reviewed.[/quote]
