We are whistling Dixie when we expect one person, the teacher, to meet the vast needs of so many students at so many different levels in one classroom at the same time, especially in lower socio-economic areas. A friend of mine from Romania who now lives in the US, couldn&#39;t believe the lack of tutoring that occurs here for younger students compared to Romania and Eastern Europe. In Japan, students get extra math tutoring for hours in after school programs at Math Cram Schools. Our students need more tutoring as one teacher can&#39;t do it all! People need to stop blaming teachers for the lack of student progress. Educators are in the trenches. Blaming teachers, would be like blaming soldiers for losing battles, by critics who are on the side lines, far away. Teachers are doing the best they can in often very difficult situations. While some American families are able to provide their children with tutors or private tutoring in math and other programs, poor families can&#39;t afford these types of needed programs. If we want our students to compete intellectually on an international level we need to provide them more help. Provide students with tutors!
