What policy do you have in mind? Would it be illegal to pay for tutoring of any kind, or would it just be illegal to not send your kid to the local public schoo

What policy do you have in mind? Would it be illegal to pay for tutoring of any kind, or would it just be illegal to not send your kid to the local public school (illegalizing homeschooling as well)? And what about just moving to an area close to better schools, would you write laws to address that?
As long as parents raise their own children, you're going to have crazy levels of inequality. If you also continue to respect personal autonomy and private property, you'll have ever crazier levels.
- wildrhythms 4y agoStudents needing additional tutoring is normal, but it's also a signal that the educators need to reevaluate why students aren't meeting expectations from the existing curriculum. How many broken curriculum have been perpetuated because the top performing students had to spend hours after class filling in the gaps on their own dime? Wouldn't a better invested (not just money, but also socially) public school system support students so they don't need to seek outside tutoring like what you're describing? And I do believe homeschooling should be prohibited. Once again, a better invested (money, socially) public school system would solve whatever problem parents think they're addressing by way of homeschooling.
