educational arms race.
Kids who don't need it. The idiot author seems to think that only underperforming students shout get tutored in order to move up to average. But bright students who want to really excel are somehow rubbing it in.
Should great basketball players not go to elite basketball camps?

And this is one of the most wimpy, PC paragraphs i've read in a while....
"Troublingly, educators believe that the growth of private tutoring is contributing to a sense of academic pressure that can contribute to emotional problems, even for kids who aren’t getting this extra instruction. The students who take classes outside of school “make other kids feel bad, because they’re brighter, more capable, and they do more, and they can do it faster,” a Boston-area elementary school principal told me."
