Assistance

When I was researching for the threaded discussion 2 I found that two school who were not meeting their benchmarks had a low percentage of students who were receiving the free tutoring. It made me wonder why not. I think that from the wording of the act schools do not have to offer the tutoring to parents instead parents can request it. If this is in fact the case then parents who don't speak English might never know what is available to them. Also what if these families are illegal immigrants and they don't think they can get it or are afraid to ask for it if they do know what it is. It seems like there is still some inequity in what families are receiving from the schools.
