Students, especially poor ones, arrive at college feeling overwhelmed academically and socially. A few simple nudges can help them thrive.The problem has become the extraction of cash with the minimum investment of effort.
Some schools are trying to give value for tuition. They deserve encouragement.
Almost all children have the same inherent capability.
The schools true problem is the selection of the nascent elite.
Cash flow is a poor axis for selection.

Becoming Disabled
Roughly one in five Americans lives with a disability. So where is our pride movement?The question remains how much should the general culture bend for the disabled and how much should the disabled yield to the general culture?
Wheel chair accessible wilderness trails are not.
Visual art is not accessible to the blind.
Disability is learned as ability is learned.
Should we have a bipedal pride day?

A Day Care Center Draws Noise Complaints
Working at home with noise, renting out a co-op and waterproofing a shower.vvvSmall children seem to spend their time screaming.
Daycare ends about five in the afternoon.
Renting a quiet office seems a good solution.
Realestate is a tale of boom and bust.
Buy in the busts. Sell into the booms.
The only defense against flipping is due diligence.
Just fix the shower.
