Alisa Perales’s father drives her to and from class, helps her understand her textbooks, and rewards her academic achievements with trips to Disneyland, near their home in San Bernardino, Calif.

Alisa tackles the schoolwork herself, though, mastering Calculus 3 and computer science college courses, some weeks putting in 35 hours doing homework alone.
