Notes: Each column represents a separate regression and includes subject and school fixed effects. The response variables for Columns 1 through 4, and 8 are indicators taking value of one if a student agrees or strongly agrees with the statement that the subject teacher gives all students an equal opportunity to participate in class; the subject teacher encourages students to be creative and express themselves; I feel comfortable asking the subject teacher a question when the lecture is difficult to understand; I ask many questions in this class; this subject is one of my favorites. The outcome variable in Column 5 is self-reported study hours per week for the subject, excluding hours spent at tutoring. The outcome in Column 6 is an indicator for receiving tutoring and that for Column 7 is the log of tutoring expenditures. Column 7 is regressed conditional on positive expenditures. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the school level.
