Our readers matter most to us. We have opened a page for robust debate among you. This page does not have a political stand and should be read in that spirit. We do not seek either to offend or to appease. We strive to present all points of view but expressed in a civil manner. Speak up and be heard.
Online tutoring is highly beneficial for students who cannot get individual attention in a classroom.
It is not useful, as it would not match the material being taught in class.
Children miss out on the social development associated with learning in a classroom.
Parents should view online tutoring as a support to traditional education rather than as a replacement.
Submission guidelines:
The debate and poll will close on Tuesday, at midnight. Send us your arguments at readers@gulfnews.com. Please do send in your photographs if possible. The word limit is 150. We welcome all points of view, as long as they are within the bounds of civil discourse. We will edit for length and clarity, to accommodate as many voices as possible.
