[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am getting sick of the whole "wealthy hire tutors to spoon feed their kids."  The people that I know who hire tutors (very few) have kids who are struggling either with a poor teacher or an LD. [b]The idea that most are rigging the system by buying special assistance for their child is so overblown. [/b]The tutor is needed to help the kids grasp information that is needed to pass, not move a kid from an A- to an A.  Poor kids have access to Khan Academy, libraries and non profit tutoring groups.  If you are worried about any child having access to homework help, I hope you are volunteering to help.[/quote]

You are uninformed. My kids go to best schools and competition is fierce. Type A parents play every angle there is to eke out a little extra. Tutors aren't just for geometry struggles. Tutors can also help kids learn Mandarin outside of school, and other things like that to get an edge on classmates.[/quote]

Which "best schools"?  Not our Big 3...[/quote]
