[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My theory is that as wealth inequality increases, so does outside tutoring, “enrichment”, private coaching, college consultants among parents with the means to pay. I grew up in Asia where all my friends had hours of tutoring on top of private school educations to make us more competitive for the limited spots in top universities. It’s interesting to see it as a more widespread phenomenon here now - but mostly in wealthy, urban areas where the perceived competition is greater.[/quote] I think this is driven by the immigrant culture more than wealth inequality. I am an immigrant myself, and I am surprised how blaise most non-immigrant families are about academic achievement. The only exception is sports. [/quote]
