All parents want to provide their children with the best education. Unfortunately, our education system favors the rich versus the bright ones. If you can afford a private school tuition you can rest assured that you child is getting decent education. If you live in a very expensive area your school is probably providing your child with education sufficient to get into most colleges in the USA. The rest of the kids are not going to learn very much at school. They don't get adequate education to prepare them to live in the 21st century.
If you have free room and board in exchange for few hours of ESL tutoring you can actually spend the rest of your free time studying a foreign language or sightseeing.
My first home exchange took place in South Africa.
