College Unaffordable Even in Higher Income Brackets
Rising tuition and fewer funds for public universities have priced even some of the upper middle class out of a college education.A middle class income still buys a middle class education.
A middle class income is about $150,000/year.

Giving Young People an Alternative to College
In the next decade, as many as 25 million new job openings will be middle-skills positions that will not necessarily require a four-year degree.A degree is the entry qualification to management.
Nonmanagement positions are by definition labor.
Labor is paid the minimum required to fill the position with the skills necessary.

There have been few serious consequences for the employees who enabled two killers to escape from the prison in Dannemora, N.Y., according to an examination of payroll records.The union is well organized and funded.

A Strategy Session With Some of Education’s Top Thinkers
College presidents, deans, professors and teaching advocates discuss challenges facing the future of education and some strategies to make it better.Treating the symptoms of failure is pointless without an understanding of the process of learning.
It is not enough to apply patches, the process of learning must be studied and analyzed.
Children during the process will not receive a better education.
Children after the process will receive that improved education.
Let the process of learning about learning begin.
Education will result.

Learning to Educate an Increasingly Diverse Nation
With minorities making up a majority of America’s student body, it is vital for places of higher education to train faculties in teaching and diversity issues.The tradition is German rather than English.
A rigorous training of the mind rather than an accumulation of related experiences leading to a mastery of an area of knowledge.
there is no place for a tutor in the German system.

Today’s Students May Be Emotionally Unprepared
College students are facing more stress than their parents did, and the resultant anxiety and depression are worrisome to educators and policy makers.Seventy years ago there was the Second World War. Sixty years ago there was Korea. Fifty years ago there was Vietnam.
The selective service was always hungry.
Stop Whining.

Video: Can a Gun Maker Be Negligent?
Families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Conn., are suing the makers and sellers of the rifle used in the massacre. On Monday, defendants made a plea to have the case dropped.If the case fails it calls into question the pursuit of "deep pockets".
I am interested in the result.
