[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McLean parent here.  This is not a promotion of McLean but a general comment about tutoring.  We used tutors for years for our DCs, who both have ADHD.  And, the one thing I noticed that was a big negative was that it took so much time away from the precious down time all kids, especially SN, need.  At one point, the tutor was coming three times a week, twice during the school week and once on the weekend.  It interfered with sports during the week and weekends, which I had a big problem with because my DCs are sports centered and the physical activity is critical.  Now that they are at McLean I feel that they are getting all the support they need obviating the need for a tutor.  And, they get all their homework done at school.  I get constant feedback from the school team and I provide feedback to them on my observations at home and where I think they need reinforcement.  I know it is a lot of money but it is a one stop shop and I don't have to take precious time out of their non-school hours for tutoring, which is not always in sync with what is going on at school and the tutors and teachers may not always communicate or have a good rapport.

Past McLean parent here.  We used the "pull-out" tutors at McLean but had to pay for them (the ones in the trailers).  Is that system still in place?  The only time we had to go to outside tutors was for Spanish.
