So I’m probably one of the “good parents”, because I sent my daughter to a tutor.
But the study skills that were taught to my daughter by a tutor (and I paid a lot of money for) were definitely not taught to my daughter by any teacher she had at her school, and she had 7 different teachers in grade 8.
It could be a case that the more effective study skills are being kept for those who are prepared to pay money to learn those skills.
But I still can’t understand why there are now so many tutors when teachers are so efficient.
Education has now become so confusing, and very difficult to understand.
