Is tuition class needed for children nowadays?

It depend on your child's ability. I know my elder is not very good in chinese, i will still continue to let her go for tuition to give her more foundation and also to practise more on speech and writing. Otherwise if teachers mentioned if she need extra help on that subject, i will consider. Tuition is very subjective and it wont follow the school syllabus or system. so i find it pointless.
