I have a friend who was a tutor for the program that Sergio touted in the quote at the end of your article. My friend, a former teacher and administrator (not at D65), said the "high-impact tutoring" consisted of four days a week of the kids staring at their screens during the tutoring sessions and one day of actual interaction between the kids and the tutors. My friend asked the director at the school (who did not have any education degrees) if they could brainstorm ways to bring more engagement to the sessions but was completely shut down. My friend couldn't take just sitting there watching the kids looking at their screens all day and quit. I'm not sure if that's how the program was run across the district or just at that one school, but what a waste of offered expertise.
