I was asked this question at a party when talking about our DC...
If your child was thick as muck would you have still sent her to private school or bother tutoring her if she was in state school?
I really didnt have an answer for that as I was rather dumbstruck at the question.
After some thought I think I would still send her private.As she maybe a late developer or she was not engaged with her teachers.
If I couldn't afford it I would most likely find tutors that could engage her and get her moving.
If couldn't afford either I would then read books myself and try to engage her...
But I would never give up on her....
I think the main reasons why children fail is because parents give up on their children. It doesn't matter what socio econmic background you are from but if you give up. Your children will do the same....
Although being a helicopter tiger mum is also not very helpful to your child either....
