Re: selecting tutors

Maybe someone mentioned this, but 15 year olds CAN work with parental
permission--it's an easy process that she needs to take care of. I'd let her
take the class. Since she's supposed to be so bright, she might just
self-select herself OUT of tutoring--that has happened to students who see
that they are just not "cut out" for tutoring--although they might phrase it
differently, like "I just don't agree with Dr. Mullin's approach!"
