I sit down once a month to do the bills while my husband checks the oil and other fluids in our cars. Once a week he mows the lawn, and every six months the whole family goes to the dentist. Just like your car and your house and your health and pretty much everything else of value in life, your child’s education requires ongoing routine maintenance.

The goal is to examine your child’s education on a continuous basis looking for areas of strength and identifying areas that need remediation.

Remediation is the process in which a student is re-taught concepts previously covered in class and allowed to learn them at his or her own pace. It is accomplished via tutoring, which may be provided by the teacher or by an outside provider hired by the school or parent. Unfortunately most teachers are not able to provide very much one-on-one time and schools offer only limited tutoring options usually reserved for the neediest of students.
