I totally understand and support tutorials for struggling students.
I think it is a panic response of the principal in an effort to raise
test scores by mandatory test practice after the regular
instructional day.
I think the principal is the only person that monitors the night-
time detentions, which works because they are all on computers.
I just couldn't believe this was normal everywhere, because it
seems excessive, and unnecessary to me to keep all of the
students for test practice. (Slaves to the test scores.)
