Even if these tests were precise measures of writing ability — they probably do have some general predictive value — compelling more students to take the first writing requirement would still be an excellent idea.
The problem in U.S. education cannot be chalked up to the lack of a nationwide curriculum or too few charter schools or any number of the simple fixes that reformers sometimes champion.
Perhaps Amazon Prime Air is not just a publicity stunt, but a realistic step toward further improving the efficiency by which Amazon delivers its goods.
With these demographics, it should hardly be surprising that the Board is proposing policies that primarily benefit upper-income and business school students.
I’m here to tell whoever is reading this article that the issue of mental health is deeply important to me because I have dealt with depression and anxiety myself, and still do.
I’ll say it: Santa is a lie perpetuated by parents and society. At the risk of being called a “scrooge,” I assert we should not deceive children about the existence of Father Christmas.
Since race and class are largely related in the U.S., it is unreasonable to conclude that race, as opposed to class, is the causal factor in creating single-parent homes.
During the Yeezus concert, as I watched Kanye come out of a mountain, meet with “White Jesus” (an actor who came out to “bless” Kanye before his song “Jesus Walks”) or rant for 10 minutes on the various maladies in his life, I began to wonder why people are so attracted to this insecure yet talented man. Yet all of his faults could not prevent 20,000 people from screaming themselves hoarse during the concert.
A French court recently ordered several search engines, including Google and Yahoo, to de-list several known pirating sites from their search results.
Top-down regulation from the government aimed at limiting CEO compensation fails to account for the reasons why we have seen executive salaries rise so quickly in the past few decades.

Physical textbooks provide productivity that digital textbooks cannot. This does not apply to elementary students that only use digital textbooks in class but rather to middle school, high school and college students that spend too much time on social networks.
With so many responsibilities, doesn’t the ability to choose our roommates — without conditions of sex or gender — seem consistent and fair?
It is likely that Republican candidate Mark Obenshain will demand a recount; since only 165 votes decided this election, this demand would be entirely reasonable. But there is also the possibility that after a recount Obenshain will contest the race, in which case it will be subject to review by Virginia’s General Assembly. In Virginia, a losing candidate can contest a race if there was some irregularity in the management of the election that possibly changed the election’s outcome.
I caution users of sites such as StatFuse to view its predictions skeptically, even though the site may relieve prospective college students of some of the stress of the application process.
Sometimes you feel cute, handsome, excited, silly or any other conceivable emotion, and you have a desire to capture yourself in that moment. This is neither shameful nor revolutionary.
I’m going to come right out and say it: I hate the holidays.
Eating disorders are not something to be taken lightly.
The University must assume a greater responsibility in educating a scientifically informed citizenry.
Scrapping the policy would cause a resurgence in population growth in urban areas, increasing the difficulty involved in solving problems such as famine and pollution. Part of China’s original reasoning for the policy was that uncontrolled population growth was leading to the depletion of natural resources, including land fertility for crops.
