How many US public school students missed out on free private after-school tutoring during this 2006-07 school year?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm the former Education Coordinator for our local Boys & Girls Club after-school program. In the education aspect of our program it was our goal to provide homework help, tutoring, enrichment and remediation for the boys & girls. And this was before NCLB and we could not get any collaborations with the schools.

M$That is certainly part of the resaon for such a low participation rate. It is ultimately the responsibility of school districts, Title 1 schools, their administrators and teachers to implement the program (i.e. getting tutors and eligible students to participate) and even the federal Department of Education has admitted they've done a very poor job at that (see: comments from former US Secretary of Education, Margaret Spelling, on October 28, 2008 retrieved at http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2008/10/10282008.html).
