Tutoring

We went to the meeting last night to get information on what the state has mandated for our school to provide the students due to not meeting the "No Child Left Behind" standards again.

This year they are required to provide free tutoring for eligible students. But they did not go into details of whether or not the students would be individually tested to see if they needed the tutoring.

We were given a bunch of information on Reading Tutors read over and choose a provider from. They will compile a list and see if they have enough students enrolling in the provider you have selected.

The part I found the strangest was of the parents that attended the meeting, ALL of their children were in the second grade and struggling with reading. I think this made a strong statement.

I believe there must be a strong need for reading tutors within our school. This is a critical time in their education. If they become frustrated with reading at this stage, it will effect their education throughout their lives. It is very important to get these children the help they need right now.
