Tutoring...Tutoring...Tutoring!

Who is it for? Who should come to tutoring? Students that are struggling should be in tutoring? Students who need xtra help, should they come? What about the student that just wants to get ahead? I remember a great Mathematics teacher, Tanya Payne, told me 10 yrs ago that tutoring is also for the student who wants to get ahead. WOW! It made me think when she made that statement. In addition to who should come to tutoring, let's discuss another issue. Is the teacher not doing her job if a student needs a tutor? Some parents dont mind at all getting a tutor for their child to excel, but what does it say about the teacher? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this subject. Let me know your thoughts!
