Outsourcing tutoring?

"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?

Re: Outsourcing tutoring?
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.

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.
