I know my children are very lucky and advantaged. Two of them do have dyslexia. (They have very poor symbol memory, which means it’s hard to hold letters/numbers in their heads and manipulate and/or remember them.) We are able to mitigate this with tutoring so they can work to their potential. I am constantly reminded of how hard it would be to have a learning disability without the means to diagnose and help, but thankfully our school district puts a lot of resources into special education (not that it’s enough to level the playing field).
Through the honor societies at our public high school, we have found students who are patient and engaging tutors, and also need the money. Although their subjects come naturally to them, I think that they also learn from teaching. It doesn’t mean huge inequities don’t exist, but student tutoring seems to me like a win/win and not a contribution to the problem.
