When our kids were growing up, we seemed to have teachers and tutors for everything imaginable, from music to sports, and everything in-between, and rarely was the transition from one teacher to the next a problem. My wife and I were raised in the same way, and were happy we had some experience with these situations when it came to our own children.

These endeavors do seem to create erudite individuals, even though, in the final analysis, they ultimately become hobbies for most.
