...white paper to set guidelines for their use. "This is a concept paper to think about war-fighting outcomes and what robotics will do for soldiers," says U.S. Lieut.

[But] we might someday come up with [separate] IT doctrine and robot doctrine."

While not a new idea, these in-school programs are increasingly appealing in this economy, tutors say. The Princeton Review is in talks with five states about integrating SAT or ACT prep into all of their districts. Some schools help knock 20% to 30% off students' fees by offering use of their classrooms at no charge to the test prep company. Other districts pick up the entire tab of the Princeton Review program, offering it to students...
