[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell. Loads of kids start early getting tutored to get through the pressure--- so the kids that can't afford tutors get even more pressured and don't get why they can't keep up--- while everyone including parents and teachers act like all the kids are naturally talented...not healthy...people complain to each other in hushed tones and then say they love the school.

As  someone who has taught and tutored private school kids, I think families really overestimate how many children receive tutoring. A lot of the rumors start from students, who are not reliable narrators. Perception is not reality. [/quote]

ADM someone who worked alongside a father of two SFS students - now fully graduated- the tutoring and parental homework help is 100% true. My PHD STEM co-worker practically re-did his high school education twice more when they were in grades 9-12. They graduated well and classmates were in awe they did not use tutors (well paid tutors anyhow!).

Good luck with that! [/quote]
