[quote=Anonymous][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]

New poster. I don't usually post on these sorts of threads, but my kids went to private school here, and nearly ALL their fiends had tutors throughout elementary, some starting in second grade. So you are wrong.

Probably because as a parent it is so frustrating to live through how non-academic the progressive private schools are. No homework, no grades, no practicing, half the day on social issues. Public schools and parochial schools are way more academic- and at least you know by 2 nd grade if you kid has any issues.
Private school- you might have to pay someone to teach your kid to read, handwrite, or math since they only speak a couple hours in each per week in k-2.[/quote]
