"if they can't handle the paperwork in first grade, heaven help them in the cutthroat bureaucracy of third"

Meghan Cox Gurdon at WSJ with an interesting series of reflections on  the emerging tutoring culture.  On one hand, I understand (and second) her concerns about over-achieving parents and the elevation of cutthroat status competition over educational issues.  On the other hand, I wonder if the tutoring culture, as it grows, will be a very welcome source of pedagogical innovation.
