FREE TUTORING
The President’s
“No Child Left Behind Act” provides up to 2 billion dollars
for after-school tutoring. Millions of students in chronically failing
schools can now attend programs offered by education companies like
Kaplan, Princeton Review, and Sylvan Learning Centers.
Supporters of the law say it brings to low income students the kind
of quality services that parents in well-to-do suburbs rely on for
their children. But if it’s such a great opportunity then why,
in some school districts, can’t companies find any students
to tutor among the thousands who are eligible? This report uncovers
the hostile tactics used to shut-out tutoring companies, but it’s
the quality of services some companies provide at taxpayer expense
that viewers may find more troubling.
