“I wanted to let you know that my son got a B+ on every final exam other than his English final, which was an A-. The extra effort he put into preparing, with your patient help, brought all of his grades up, so that he was able to finish the year with final grades of four A’s and three B’s. You’ve been so wonderfully helpful, as always, but especially during this last challenging term. I can’t thank you enough!”

“Our son is an incredibly hard worker with a neurologically based learning disability. When he was “drowning” in math nearly two years ago, we reached out to the owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home. We watched his grades and self-confidence take off. The tutor’s unimpeachable professionalism and patience have made an enormous difference in our son’s life, allowing him to work toward and maintain consistently high grades. These excellent grades have begun to move him into the mainstream curriculum in just his first year of high school! I have recommended Y3K Tutor In Your Home without hesitation to any and all who ask how all of this happened for a once-tearful child who had despaired of ever “learning like other kids”. I tell them that it’s because the tutor meets children where they are so that they can in their own time and way, get where they want to go. All of our son’s present and former teachers remain delighted and astonished by his growth as an enthusiastic, independent learner, who now faces new challenges “head on”. This is a level of confidence that now informs his every endeavor. We couldn’t be happier and wish the same for all struggling students and worried parents.”

“The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner tutors both my 7th grade son and my 3rd grade daughter. Their skills have rocketed leaps and bounds under his patient and careful tutelage. My daughter was behind in her math skills for 3rd grade at the beginning of the year and I just came from her school conference where her teacher told me her math skills have quadrupled since the beginning of the year. We owe it all to Y3K services! Both of my children have benefited greatly from Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s tutoring. Highly recommend!!”

Controversial Student Athlete Standards – Natick MA

By

Some schools around the country have been raising the sports eligibility standards. For example the Natick Public Schools in Natick, MA have raised the academic standards for its athletes. They decided to send a message to student athletes that academics come first. If a student doesn’t pass all of their classes, they lose eligibility. As a result of the increased academic demands, 43 students out of more than 500 were deemed ineligible due to failing a class or receiving an incomplete. Previously Natick averaged 6 to 9 academically ineligible students per term. The intended result is to put the emphasis on having their education be their first priority.

Students who are removed from teams have to meet with coaches, guidance counselor, and parents to come up with an improvement plan. These students are then ineligible for the remainder of the term as well as the following term.

What do you think of these new rules?
