AUT: The rise of the "tutoring industry"....

[Michael Handelman <mhandelman1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I read somewhere about the growth of the "tutoring
industry" (tutors, "Hooked on Phonics" etc). Speaking
from personal experience, I can see much more of
tutoring going on in this era (I have 2 TUTORS FOR
CRAP'S SAKE!), than in past eras (although to be fair,
my knowledge of past eras is of course based on what I
read etc).

What do you think is causing the growth of the
tutoring industry? It seems to me a predominantly
middle class phenomenon, where now even middle class
kids can't keep up with school.

However, does the rise of the tutoring industry also
indicate a further breakdown in the more traditional
forms of the reproduction of labour-power?

What role does the "Spectacle" play in regards to the
increasing crisis of reproduction of labour-power?
