In this part of the world where I live, tuitioning kids are a very lucrative endeavour. Income from tuitioning kids on part-time basis usually exceeds the income of a common full-time job. When tuitioning kids become the full-time job, income is only second to the top management salary in the corporate world.
This dollar issue has somehow led to a very serious problem. Any Tom, Dick or Harry and Auntie, Siti or Mary suddenly become a 'legitimate' tuition teacher. Unquestionably some are highly qualified teachers, very experienced and truly dedicated in aiding kids in the process of learning. However, most are jokers and know nuts about teaching or even the requirements of the syllabus.
I have come across a tuition teacher who conducts tuition sessions with a ratio of one teacher to sixty students! I have also encountered countless people with very limited education conduct tuition sessions even for students preparing for major public examinations. Sad to mention also, much too often tuition teachers have problems solving even basic homework questions from school.
This is 'money over everything' kind of attitude. Who cares whether the kids are really benefitting from their tuition classes? As long as parents are paying, there will always be willing souls to tuition their kids, for one reason or another. Do you agree? Please comment...

Yes , now in the society , money is now the new God..However , if a child asks his parents to send him to tuition for a bad subject , their parents would be willing to send him . But , if the student is there only to talk with Tom's friends or Auntie's friends , the money might as well be kept by himself /herself. If the student has no positive learning attitude and does not focus when the teacher teaches , then the student has already made a decision to NOT study and waste their parents money..
