[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]08:11, I generally agree but I you could higher a tutor and your own personal college counselor to get the attention discussed above.[/quote]

Have a child sit in class for 6 hours a day bored and not getting anything out of it, then have them sit for 2 hours a night with a tutor for real instruction, then do 2-3 hours of homework. Offer them mediocre arts and sports.

That is your suggestion.[/quote]

Not sure I understand. Students who are motivated, self starters would greatly benefit from tutors. My point is that you don't need to pay Bullis tuition to get the college placement attention and academic support. You can attend a great public school and supplement the experience with outside tutors and college advisers. [/quote]

It the difference in what happens from 7am-3pm. Lecture classroom are painfully boring for some kids even intelligent, motivated children. Every time I go to a conference it reminds me how incredible bored students must get by the mind numbing lecture classes.

It's not always about college placement, not everybody is about the end game, many of us are about the journey. I agree it is a luxury.[/quote]
