I'm still not understanding what their premise was here lmfao. Tutoring has been a thing for generations...

They're talking about the massive growth of the tutoring industry and how it causes inequality

 

[AsuTeksu]

I don't really see what the article is trying to argue. It's not the direct cause of inequality.

How can it be argued that it is "unfair" for select students to have access to tutoring?
How can it be argued that it is "unfair" for select students to have more time than others?

The arguments presented in the article is equivalent to someone saying that someone else's job or income is "unfair" when, in fact, that person put in the effort.

As someone who did tutoring to an extent for Mathematics and Chemistry, it is completely possible for people to score high WITHOUT tutoring, so it cannot be argued that it causes inequality.

It is up to the individual to make their situation work. The more excuses that people make, the less change that they'll make for themselves.

Additionally, we don't know the teaching methods of the teachers that have an issue with tutoring centres. Personally, I had a crap Mathematics teacher who never taught so I sought tutoring which eventually led to self-study without tutoring and she didn't like that I knew the content without her since it just showed I didn't need her.

i'm malding so hard i don't want to spend 3.5 on forest

I've bought the pro version of Forest and tbh it was so worth it for me (I think it was around 5AUD but I cant remember), but I did use the app for a bit before I bought pro to test whether I would actually use it into the future or not. Anyway, over one year on from my purchase and it was the best money I ever spent lmao, I personally find it really motivating and love making the garden and seeing my statistics and blah blah blah. Make sure you'll actually use it before you buy it though! But it is cheaper than most other apps which is great )

Me too I feel like deleting it but I feel bad bc I just spent like 7 dollars on the stupid thing

 

[Average Boreduser]

Good rec for a fitness app tho- Strava. Thing rlly makes excercise more fun which I didn't think was possible.

 

[carrotsss]

As someone who did tutoring to an extent for Mathematics and Chemistry, it is completely possible for people to score high WITHOUT tutoring, so it cannot be argued that it causes inequality.

Whilst I obviously believe that tutoring is not necessary since I didn’t do any, I think that it’s disingenuous to say that because of that fact it’s not causing inequality - tutoring does objectively increase student’s results, whether you’re okay with the inequality it causes is a different question

 

[xoNat]

If it doesn't give you any kind of advantage then why would people do it
