Should parents have to employ tutors to help with their children's education?

The above question was asked to the It-Your-Vote community.

We provided additional information for the question which was:

"A recent survey by The Knowledge Academy (www.theknowledgeacademy.com) showed that 45% of parents are hiring a tutor to help themselves or their children with homework. This matches the recent growth in employment opportunities for personal tuition. Is this right that there is now so many people trying to supplement a child's education. Also, do you think that schools are no longer providing a quality education and therefore, personal tutors are needed. Or, are standards so high now that 'an ok education' is not enough and everyone wants to be exceptional.".

The available answers for this questions were:

1. Parents shouldn't be hiring tutors and should trust or speak with schools if they are worried

2. Schools' standards are poor, so I think parents have no choice but to hire a tutor

3. No view

4. Schools are ok, but If you want an exceptional education for your child it is ok to hire a tutor
