"It comes at a difficult time for the U.S. education system: only two-thirds of teenagers graduate from high school, a proportion that slides to 50 percent for black Americans and Hispanics, according to government statistics."
Disgraceful.

What do they do at school if they need a tutor too?

Everything will be outsourced soon.
There are already a couple of test McDonalds restaraunts in which the only people around are the cooks. You order stuff from a touch screen. Soon walmart will have no checkout operators, just rows of self checkout lines.

Want me to have a rant about it? Nothing. Why do you think that homeschooling is so big over here? Because many parents realized it years ago.

I'm not sure you understand what outsourced means :confused: your examples are technology replacing people.......outsourcing is the movement of the person to a (usually) cheaper location, employed by a separate company.

McDonald's though is also piloting outsourcing whereby the drive-through operator sits in a call centre in Indian and relays the order back to the restaurant.
