There is an immense feeling of disappointment and frustration when we can't offer the help we are expected to graciously provide. Often coming across these emotions are some Marian National Honor Society members participating in the societyUs tutoring program. All NHS members are required to tutor as a membership requirement.
Complications begin to arise during the tutor to student assignment process.
The 150 tutors are assigned to the nearly 200 students requesting tutors based on their availability during a certain time period. Any NHS member can be notified to tutor at any time during the school year. It would be a scheduling nightmare. A criticism about this requirement includes the inability of the program to match tutors to subjects they excel at or at least have taken at Marian. For the tutor, and more importantly for the student in need of assistance, the purpose of the tutoring program is not fulfilled.
