Tutoring situations are not the same across our state. Some schools don't have the local funding to provide it, and it is not paid for by the state through the ASETF. Tutoring is entirely a locally funded after school job. A friend's son was tutored at Mountain Brook HS in math. He told me they had a 9th grade math tutor, a 10th grade math tutor, an 11th grade math tutor and a 12th grade math tutor for every tutoring session. At that time WEHS offered tutoring after school too - one math tutor for all 4 levels (and if no students came, you didn't get the $10 per hour it would have paid).
He's talking about the free tutoring all college athletes get through the academic centers every D-1 program provides its athletes. Don't you EVER read before you post?

Did you see the "HS" in the title line or UAB's last sentence? That is the level I was dealing with in my statement. If the desire is to make college even more elitist than it already is, that assumption that all students have the same HS opportunities for enrichment will facilitate it.
