A friend is starting a new business which I cannot respect. Feeds into hysteria of neurotic parents all over. Yuck. Too bad I can't tell him what I really think. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

A friend has started a tutoring biz, preying on fears of parents and drilling kids as young as 3 and though she doesn't see it that way (she feels she's providing a necessary service), I'm appalled.
