ashley: I would not want my DD to get tutoring because:

- She's already experiencing something of an overload, and we're firm believers in the physical, developmental, and stress-relief values of free play. She just lost most of her three-day weekend because both of her G/T pull-outs gave her major projects at the same time. The stress was noticeable.

- There are no reasons for DD to be having issues with math. It's her favorite subject, she's enthusiastic about it, and she considers herself very strong at it. Whatever homework she brings home on the subject, I do with her, and she looks forward to that activity. She's been asking me to demonstrate more principles of algebra, and her school isn't even looking at that yet.

- This would effectively punish her for the failure of her school.

- The homeschooling option is still on the table.
