Do the schools have a way for volunteers who are not in TV for the entire school year to help?
I have thought about this, but would not be able to be a constant and not sure if that would be the best thing to have happen for those kids who need constants in their lives. I have wondered if perhaps being willing to work with a small group rather than one-to-one would be a way to work that out. That possibly would change the dynamics somewhat so time-to-leave might be easier for all concerned.
Can the tutoring be done during school hours rather than after school? If kids have to be picked up after school that can be a problem that cannot happen if tutoring is done during the school day.
Also, I hope the schools have some orientation in place for volunteers and that the classroom teachers have the final say in what is needed.
And, yes, those big kids need help, too. Are there any programs in place at the secondary level?
