Growing up I can remember spending long evenings with my mother at our dining room table toiling over 
homework. The one-on-one experience not only helped me solve the tough problems that I wasn’t able to tackle but also stressed the importance of hard work, commitment and getting it right.
It seems times have changed. The latest thing seems to be the outsourcing of homework and tutoring to India. That’s right, for as little as $2.50 an hour mom and dad don’t have to miss a minute of Desperate Housewives or Grey’s Anatomy. Just apply the phone receiver to junior’s sweaty muzzle and off you go.
