In the pilot episode/series premiere, Itsuki and Miku think out loud
complaining that their tutor is a student in their own school and year level,
instead of a graduate of a bachelor's/associate's degree or even just a high
school diploma.

Itsuki

> Itsuki: Why you? You're in my class. Is there not even one proper tutor in
> this town?

This is an extremely reasonable complaint and, apparently, in the manga,
there's an explanation for it:

> The quints' dad and Fuutaro's dad know each other prior. And some other
> stuff.

Questions:

  1. Do they ever ask their dad about it? Like call and say like

> 'Hey dad, you didn't mention our tutor is a student in our own school and
> year level, instead of a graduate of a bachelor's/associate's degree or even
> just a high school diploma. What's up with that?'

  2. And actually why doesn't their dad just inform them in advance? Like

> 'Found a tutor for you guys. Tutor is in your own school and year level,
> Fuutaro Uesugi. I'm choosing someone from your own school and year level
> instead of someone with a bachelor's degree or even a high school diploma
> because [insert reasons].'

Do Itsuki or Miku (or the other quints?) ask their dad why their tutor Fuutarou is a student in their own school and year level?


For 1

2 things

Thing 1A - My guess based on S02E02-S02E05 (The 7 goodbyes + the episode
afterwards)

> They didn't even tell their dad about that Nino and Itsuki left the
> apartment.

Probably they just don't really talk to their dad that much.

Thing 1B - Actually they don't really care about studying that much. These
aren't students who are really trying to improve their grades and just can't
seem to be able to without external help. It probably sucks someone just in
their grade and school is their kateikyoushi, but they just couldn't be
bothered.

For 2

Actually their dad _did_ tell them in advance that a kateikyoushi was coming.
We know because Itsuki was expecting a kateikyoushi to come. You might wonder
why their dad didn't tell the quints about the details, but I think the better
question is why the quints didn't ask their dad in the 1st place about the
tutor's qualifications. Then it's the same as above: They don't talk to their
dad much, and they don't really care about studying.
