　　Private tutoring is “in”. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors. Such a popular practice indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents, for various reasons，missed the chance of obtaining a good education. when their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring is the only solution. As private tutoring is usually one-to-one, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil, clearly.

　　However, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. First it means more expenses for a family, which may be an economic burden for the family and even a mental burden for the student. Also it takes up so much of the pupils’ time that they can hardly find enough time for rest and entertainment, which are essential for their physical and mental health. The students have less time to study by themselves and develop their own ability through independent study. For the teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties.

　　Generally speaking, its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Greater emphasis should be laid on classroom teaching and practice, on the improvement of teaching quality and on the tapping of the pupils’ potentials. Only in this way can we generation be healthily brought up.
