my sister home tutors her boys, and has other home tutors who collaborate - I help with maths and science. Boys (twins, 10) are super smart. they have a lot of matured conversations on ideas and thought process, and yet often times are just kids loving their legos and basketball. On the same note, i grew up on the other side of town, literally the worst school in the country lol - parang (machete) fights, arson burning down the school canteen etc. We were in the first class but boy were we punished for skipping classes and playing pranks. I think i turned out half alright, and the boys I grew up with went on becoming lawyers, doctors, engineers and in all kind of awesome jobs. Unfortunately public education system has dwindled in my country and is below average and the international schools are more expensive than colleges.
