A case for "jobs stimulus" in the U.S. that subsidizes American consumers and producers of customized education, and American providers of associated online markets
Fun with math: If you join the group and invite ten friends, and they join and invite ten friends, and this sequence is repeated six times, the group will have 1,000,000 members!
Your performance of said steps, then, can lead to:
me working hard to alert (other) bloggers to the group’s growing popularity
bloggers learning from this site that they can benefit in several ways from the rise of the CE industry
bloggers encouraging their readers to join the group and invite friends
print and TV journalists picking up the story
media conglomerates and entrepreneurs introducing said markets (and complements)
Congress and the president putting their fingers to the wind
Fair warning: lest I be accused of hiding costs associated with the rise of the CE industry, we (future) parents must reconcile ourselves to the following:
CE consumption by our children is likely to lead to them becoming very hopped up on intrinsic motivation, eager learning, creative problem-solving, etc.

In particular, we must steel ourselves for an epidemic of grade-schoolers:
scheduling a pre-bedtime meeting to present their case
attending the meeting in attire that blends “business formal” and (footsie) pajamas
arguing their case with the help of homespun statistics (e.g., that dramatically overstate inflation)
exasperating bodily in response to the old jokes we reuse at every such meeting (e.g., child: “As you know, we’ve convened to discuss a raise of allowance.”, parent: “Great. How much do I get?”; child: “I think an increase of $x is fair.”, parent: “Well, if that is all you can afford.”)
Abandon all hope of fiscal restraint, ye parents who enter into these negotiations.
