What counterclaim is presented in the passage? What kind of evidence is used in the rebuttal of the
counterclaim?
Some might argue that tutoring programs are too
expensive. However, after-school tutoring programs have
been proven to be one of the most cost-effective ways to
help students succeed. According to Dr. J. Ortega, who
has published several books on education, "schools that
offer free after-school tutoring programs save money in
the long run and consistently outperform schools that use
other methods for improving student performance."
How does the evidence support the rebuttal?
