Does anyone remember if during their time in high school, it was common for students to have extra lessons or one-on-one tutoring with special math, science, language, etc. teachers after their normal school days? Extra paid lessons, that is. I can't really remember that being a popular or common thing.
It seems like a good number of students in my school have these types of lessons on top of regular lessons. I can't help but think that 1) if class time was used more efficiently and effectively, there wouldn't be the need for those lessons and everyone would have more time, and 2) that widens the divide between the kids/families who can afford to do that and those who can't, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
