- crummy 4y agoIt's one tutor, Michael. How much can it cost, $100,000?
- thaumasiotes 4y agoAs with the banana, tutors are much cheaper than that.
- roenxi 4y agoThe typical student:teacher ration is what, 25:1? 1:1 is a lot better (around 25x, probably) but this is all just on a spectrum. I'd wager that 25 parents banding together to hire a tutor might outperform a typical classroom, if it was a biased sample towards people who care. I'd trust my parents and a group of like-minded parents to pick out a good educator better than the typical teacher, teachers aren't the sort of people I would recommend to teach children how to think.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoThat is what home-schooling is, a personal private school. Whether the person doing the teaching is paid for it doesn't change that.
- cm2187 4y agoWell, that's my point, private tutors is effectively a private school. But the vast majority of families can't afford it (either cannot pay for a tutor or cannot afford not to have both parents working, when there are two parents). Remote learning is not though.
- msmenardi 4y ago"Private tutors" can be anything from an after-school karate class to visiting a piano teacher's house for an hour of instruction. It doesn't have to be solely for elite people.
