↘ What to look for

If it's enrichment, ask the curriculum, the instructor's actual academic background, and what the kid is expected to produce by Friday. If it's remediation, ask the diagnostic (do they assess where the kid is on day one?), the group size (1:6 is ceiling for real progress), and whether the program tracks improvement week-over-week.
