It seems to me that the children who are writing their own papers or studying for their own tests have an advantage here. They are learning to work, to write, to risk, to struggle, to fail, while these over-tutored children are learning to pay someone else to do work for them. How do you gain confidence if your tutor turned in an “A” paper on “The Great Gatsby?” If these children actually read “Gatsby” they might learn something about the futility of materialism.

Sometimes it takes stating the obvious to point out the ridiculous.
