School’s Out for the Animals, Too

Pets (and the animals that eat them) are considered a valuable educational component by many New York educators, but with summer vacation, their care and feeding can pose a challenge.

A pet is the pet owner's responsibility.
Responsibility cannot be shared or subdivided.

Can You Get Over an Addiction?

Neuroscience is giving us new insights into people who abuse drugs and alcohol and new hope for their treatment.

Education

Taking On the Challenge of College Completion

While it is student debt that often draws headlines, the related challenge of ensuring that students graduate deserves greater attention.

If the reason to attend is a job completion is the reward.
If the reward is the process completion is a punishment.
One is never done learning.
One does achieve a mastery of some of the culture.
Colleges are liberal bastions.
There are claims that there is such a thing as a conservative college.

Education

No Light Between Diversity and Free Expression

Our campuses must be places where students can learn from those of different races, ethnicities and beliefs and do so with genuine openness.

No part of society is immune to change.
