BuzzFoto Blind Item
This Blind comes to us from a former child star who is having trouble now making it in the real world. He says he was done a disservice by his on-set tutor from his days on this famous network 80′s sitcom. This tutor is still very in demand and can be found on the sets of Oscar award winning films and Disney has the tutor on speed dial. The tutor is notorious for keeping the kids happy and refreshed when they come back to film. Our washed-up star says the reason for that is that the tutor does all the work while the star takes a nap or plays video games. No wonder most washed up stars have trouble balancing their check books.

Brian Bonsall, he is always getting himself into trouble, mostly in Boulder.
this sounds like...90% of celebrity tutors.
Whoever tutored Lindsay Lohan on the set of her movies.
Lumping together two things I don't get: why aren't these kids and all home-school kids forced to take standardized tests with either an independent or employee of the school system as the proctor?
I know each school system is different, but this is just dumb to allow children to miss the opportunity for a broad education.
I'm not saying all home-schooling is bad, but if there is no independent standardized testing it required, how does the family--both the teacher and the kid--know what the kid might be missing?
Sorry, but that's on the parents. No matter who they are or where they go to school if the parents don't care then neither does the kid.
That is seventeen kinds of messed up.
But...I would kill to be an on-set tutor. That sounds like fun.
Danny Bonaduce?
This sounds like a BS blind.
1. If the show he was on was in the 80's, he is probably nearly 30. How would he know she still does the same thing?
2. Even if she got away with doing it several times, from the way the blind sounds, she has probably tutored hundreds of kids. Not one single family called her on it?
3. Why did this guy wait until he's in trouble to say it's a tutors fault from the 80's? All this time he has been an adult he couldn't have gone back and taken some classes? Why blame her because he can't balance his checkbook?
Adam Rich?
What's Danny Pintauro from Who's the Boss up to these days?
Big F deal.
Danny Pintauro graduated from Stanford and does stage work. Adam Rich on the other hand...
What @loserdude said.
SkittleKitty, a lot of standardized tests these days are actually very unreliable. I'm a teacher myself, so trust me when I say they're one of the biggest problems in the school system today. Over-testing students by administering all these standardized tests actually hurts the curriculum, because teachers are essentially being forced to 'teach to the test' instead of actually testing their students on the information they're learning in the classroom. Instead, they spend the majority of the school year teaching them how to 'take the test' and 'beat the test.' It's not even about the curriculum they should be learning in the classroom. It's about 'teaching to the test,' which is something called the banking model of education. Teachers are basically spending all their time teaching these students how to interpret test questions so they can pass the test. Once that test is over, the information is lost and students instantly forget everything they learned. Why? Simply because it was only taught for the sake of passing the test, not because it was actually important to the state curriculum or something they would need to use later in their lives. Too many standardized tests are actually a part of the problem, not the solution. They're a good assessment technique, but they're not the only assessment technique and their validity and reliability is steadily decreasing these days.
