I think this always worth asking people with opinions on tutoring academic subjects for there view on private music and sport teaching and coaching.

Both have the same issue that the checking on quality control is entirely up to the parents and that extra cost in time and money are involved.

But I have never see a fuss made about either. No big concerns that Jane’s piano lessons are poor quality or will leave her bored in school music class or give her an unfair advantage in a career in music.

No concern that time spent with the surf life saving club makes kids better able to excel in school sports or avoid social issues related to body image.

I guess is because so many with opinions on this can’t imagine enjoying success at studying math or English.

Part is also the stated aim of the parents here to enable their children to earn more, which others see as a zero sum game.
