[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

I am also European, from London. Your terminology is archaic. There is no one in the whole of Europe who has a governess because they no longer exist. You might have a live-in tutor though.  :roll: [/quote]

So you can't read? I said my mother had a governess. And that nowadays, people shouldn't scoff at tutors, which are essentially a continuation of that.

I see several posters have responded to my post and side-tracked the thread. In your (jealous) haste to excoriate someone you perceive to be part of the elite, you're getting sloppy.

[/quote] Yikes. Not the PP here, but what is up with you? You side-tracked the thread with your ridiculous, pretentious post.[/quote]
