Apparently, these services were successful in helping some children to cope with school demand and releasing parents burden on supervising children s school work. But a lot of drawbacks were resulted too. Though tutors will explain to them if they have difficulty in school work, the children are mainly asked to do exercise and revision, prepare for dictation and exam, etc. Many, not all, children in the service show even despairing feelings towards study. They are pushed even harder to fulfill the school requirement, no matter these are reasonable or not.
Parents show greater dependence on the service.
When the children do not show obvious improvement on academic work, parents would blame the tutors and regard it as a failure of the service. The complaint will also follow when their children cannot hand in school work on time. Parents seldom pay attention to their children s study motivation and how they learn to study. The pressure from the education system shifts from school to the service. The parents and children remain their narrow mind of emphasizing on academic achievement, despite of some years of service.
