Question: What exactly makes a Title 1 school "Title 1"?
So, this is probably a very simple question, but I'm confused about what, exactly, is the definition for what makes a Title 1 school an official "Title 1" school. Different websites say it's for +35%, +40%, or +50% of low-income student body, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Is it a federal standard, or does it vary by state or school district?
(Reason I'm asking is that I'm a parent transferring my kid to a current Title 1 school (53% low income) that AFAIK uses those funds for their after-school intervention and Saturday school. But next year they're projected to only have 48% low-income students, and I was told that would make them no longer a Title 1 school. Hmm....)

Deans of students talking bad about a student
Recently a friend of mine has stopped talking to me and hanging out with me. I figured out it was because my dean of students told his aunt that I was a bad kid (and told them his opinions about me and stories of my disciplinary history) and his parents found out about it and we are not allowed to talk anymore. I go to a private school. Is there any way I can get my dean in trouble for this?

Question about U.K. education -Oswestry School
My brother in law’s son (who lives in Eastern Europe) is a very smart and talented 16 year old. He was contacted by Oswestry School located in the U.K. after many tests he was 1 of 4 students chosen to attend to this school all expenses paid for his junior and senior year.
My question is this.....he can speak English, but when it comes to writing essays it is very tough for him so he was asking me what courses he should choose on this grid. 1 per block. I think Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology would be the way to go since he is great at Math and numbers generally speaking.
Thoughts?

Looking for Opinions on Policies for Maintaining High Performance
Looking for opinions regarding some pedagogical concepts I'd imagined somewhat recently:
For background, my AP Physics class sucks. Not as in the subject matter sucks, we as a class are bad at physics. We consistently average between 50 and 70 on evaluations. I initially tried to fight against this by tutoring and studying with large groups of peers but it wasn't effective enough for the amount of time and effort it took. I tried to identify the cause of the issue and concluded that the most likely suspects are the extreme lack of homework assigned and the large gap in difficulty between in class practice and the evaluations.
In considering these issues I developed these ideas regarding how this could be avoided had I been the teacher:
- Establish a policy where for the first chapter, homework is assigned but is not graded. Whether it's graded for the following chapter could be determined by one of two ways, of which I'm unsure which is best:
- Require a class average of 85-90% (teacher's decision where to draw the line) on the chapter test. This may encourage the students to pressure themselves into doing the homework if they're weak on the subject to avoid penalizing their classmates, or encourage students to cooperate and study together to ensure that everyone is doing well enough to keep things as they are. On the other hand it may incite tension between students who underperform despite doing their best and students who perform well (and maybe do so without much effort).
2. Apply #1 but to the individual as opposed to the class. Just be clear that as long as the students methodology is working, there's no concern. But if things aren't working out the way they are, it will be necessary to adhere to your methodology.
- Give an assessment 50-75% through the chapter to identify holes in the students' knowledge; offer to revoke their bad grade if they perform well on the chapter evaluation. This helps the student see where they're struggling without greatly disturbing their peace.
I felt that these two things could definitely raise our class average, and planned on trying them one day in the distant future when/if I become a professor. I'd like to know your guys opinions. I'd also like to know what age group this would be most appropriate for. I intended this go be used with high school and college students, but let me know if you disagree.

I made a website for how teachers can use video games in their classrooms. Including full lesson plans, handouts, and presentations.
I know this is sort of self promotiony, but I would love to talk about how video games can be used in schools as texts, and I'm looking for general feedback from people in education. I'm creating something that is not really available to teachers so I hope to make it as useful as possible.
The website is called Hey Listen Games. Let me know what you all think. I'm not making any money from this, just trying to get people to see the value in video games as a medium.

Do I absolutely have to go to community college if I don’t do well in high school?
I’m sorry, but I find it pretty ridiculous that CCC is pretty much your only option if your GPA is below a 3.0 or you weren’t given the opportunity to challenge yourself academically. I was diagnosed with ADHD and it’s made high school a living hell for me. Yet, it’s never been an issue with understanding the material as much as being able to keep up with assignments. I was placed in remedial classes for no reason besides my diagnoses. Even now, as I’m finishing off a stressful Junior year where I’ve finally had the chance to participate in mainstream education, I hate the prospect of spending two extra years in college. I feel cheated, like the system is actively working against me. Don’t you dare give me the whole the world doesn’t owe you anything pep-talk because I know that’s bullshit. I worked extremely hard to get to where I am today; I don’t need others telling me I’m lazy or unintelligent when they’ve never spent a day in my shoes.
I want to major in Creative Writing. I really want to try school again, I really want to succeed. I just hate the idea of having to waste an extra two years of my life toiling away at pointless busywork when I could complete a bachelor’s in four or less. I’m not trying to imply that everyone who attends community college is a failure, but I myself feel like a failure for never being good enough in school. I don’t expect colleges to accommodate me just because I feel entitled, but I do wish I could just be given a chance right away. There has to be SOME colleges that accept people with low GPAs, right?!

How do you think education inequality should be fixed?
Given that high-poverty non-white areas have been shown to get less funding than white districts, what do you think should be done to fix the inequality in the education system? Should funding be changed from property tax, should school districts be redrawn to include equal amounts of both areas, etc? Additionally, would giving poorer districts more funding even result in better education in those areas?

Why I was Shaking My Head at Betsy DeVos
If you missed the head shaking, you can see it here during her testimony before congress.
The head-shaker, Anthony Cody, has a blog and has written about why he was shaking his head, and (unlike DeVos) cited his sources.
http://www.livingindialogue.com/shaking-head-betsy-devos/
The close was strong:
The day that we see private schools, such as the ones attended by DeVos, Gates and their children, advertising their large class sizes is the day I will believe their claims that it does not matter. Instead, of course, these schools do just the opposite, and boast of average class sizes of 15 or 20 students.

Question: How do i find music minors?
Hey guys,
I'm currently doing Molecular Life Sciences at Wageningen University(in the Netherlands) and i've always had a passion for music and made it a self study. When i talked to my study advisor, he said it's very doable to do a music minor in my bachelor since i'm already so invested.
Does anyone know where to find musical minors in preferably Europe(or the rest of the world)?
I have been looking online but haven't found a lot of conservatories offering this, at least online. I would be interested most in how to deepen and broaden my understanding and especially ability in music. A minor for my university would count as 24 ECTS points at least, not longer than half a year.

Grading Papers with "Not Yet" vs. an Inadequate Grade?
There was this talk by a psychology professor named Carol Dweck and she basically says that if you provide pupils with a grade of "not yet" instead of providing pupils with a 'failing' grade, they will learn to adopt a growth mindset. This means that they will be much more likely to reflect on their approaches, accept challenges and therefore improve academically. In comparison those with a 'fixed mindset' tend to 'run away' from challenges and errors, and therefore when they receive a 'bad' grade they don't engage with actively establishing how they could improve their strategies to reflect their true capabilities.
Several studies have been conducted looking into her ideas, which she mentions in her talk.
I found this really intriguing so I decided to write a blog post about it. Her concepts, theory and research is explained in more detail on there. I'll leave the link below as it would be too much to write in this post. The video of her talk is also attached in the post.

it's amazing after looking back after K graduated college looking thru some of my random work in grade school and I'm like "wow, I learned so much". I lost all of my high school and college stuff because I threw them away after every year thinking they were worthless. but now looking back at it, just finding those "good job" notes on small quizzes in grade school put a smile on my face. I'm not sure if I'm the only that felt this way. what's your take? are those papers useless?

Can I move forward or am I a lost cause
I am 17 and have been out of education for a year now after dropping out of sixth form after 6 months. In high school I mainly focused on IT leaving with an A in the gcse. At my point in life I only see 2 options, get a job/apprenticeship I might not be happy with or try and change my path. When I say change my path I’m specifically talking about perusing my interest in mythology studies or anything similar. I enjoyed history in high school but for me it didn’t go as far back as I was interested. Am I able to enter any education at the moment where I can study mythology or similar courses and I was also wondering if I could do a university course if I only have GCSE’s and my predicted A level grades.

Public Universities Work Hard to Make Up for Budget Cuts. But In-State Students May Be Paying the Price.
High-achieving but financially needy students who settle for colleges that won’t challenge them may be the victims of "underrecruiting" by public universities that are too focused on drawing in wealthy students from other states.
That’s the contested conclusion of a report released this week by the Joyce Foundation, a policy-research group focused on equity.

United Kingdom, NQT advice - leaving a fixed term contract?
Hi, All.
My partner is currently in the third term of her primary NQT year, under a fixed term contract (FTC).
Recently she was informed that her contract would not be renewed, and she would have to interview again for the position.
This has really (really) knocked her confidence, and although her past observations and assessments have been satisfactory, she feels there's a possibility they might fail her, and take away her teacher status.
She's a gentle soul, and as such, the impact has affected her performance at a recent observation, mainly due to overwhelming nerves.
Can she leave her FTC and start over her NQT year somewhere else - if she's informed that she's not meeting expectations?
She loves teaching, and would rather jump ship and try again, than be failed and never teach.
Many thanks.

Millions of NJ taxpayer dollars have disappeared into the state's flawed charter school experiment
A year-long investigation into New Jersey's charter school system has revealed serious flaws, including the fact that millions of taxpayer dollars have been diverted to private companies that control charter school real estate.
A lack of clarity and vagaries in the charter school law ― and what some education experts say is bad policy or no policy at all ― has created a confusing and tangled landscape where transactions are often secret, or buried so deeply in documents that the public has virtually no way of scrutinizing how their tax dollars are being spent.

What happens to a student who is accused of academic misconduct? Specifically in the UC system/University level
OK, at this point I guess I have no choice but to be fine with dropping out of school. I’m a film major and I don’t necessarily need a degree to do what I need to do for my career. A degree just makes it easier...I would like to stay in school if possible, but If it doesn’t work out for me, I’m lucky enough to still have a chance with my passion rather than my educational path, anyways
Me, along with a couple of other students in my class have been accused of academic misconduct regarding a final we took before spring break and I have no idea what to do because I’ve never been in this situation before. Apparently our finals look somewhat identical to each other.
Let me explain.
Weeks leading up to the final, our entire section talked to our TA and told our TA that we planned to take the final together because it made perfect sense to do that at the time. There are about 80 to 90 students in the film department at my school. literally all of us were frantic. A week before this final, I remember seeing students sleeping in their classrooms just so that they could edit their films on time. Some of those were my colleagues, so we just literally wanted to not die one last time and just take our final together seeming that everybody got the exact same lectures and it would be easier to not look at our notes if all of us were there to just take it together to begin with. Our TA was perfectly OK with this idea and even suggested us to do that. This one dude literally announced what time we would all meet and complete the final, and everything seemed ok at the time. On the day of the final, At 8 AM, we all meet at the Time we said we would and we completed the final. We waited to make sure everyone agreed with the answers and talked everything over before submitting. Only some students got the email and others didn’t. I was one of the students who got the email and so is my friend.
So.... what happens now? Am I still a student? I honestly feel like the UC system does not give a shit about stuff like this and will just kick you out— but I have no idea if that’s true. All I know is, I’m a fucking junior, so if I get kicked out right now then that will be literally $20,000 down the drain and I am a low income student so that sucks even more. I thought to ask this community what would happen just to throw it out there to see if anyone else has been through this, or anything like this.

Write (and code) interactive stories - Looking for Parnterships
Hi everyone,
I am looking for any educators interested in developing and/or implementing curriculum where students can write (and code) interactive stories from a library of over 8,000 beautiful illustrations and sounds on Elementari. There's fun illustrations from space dinos, to deep sea creatures, to food, and tons of characters. Stories on Elementari can be 'coded' by connecting blocks to have characters animate, play sounds or voiceovers, or even create a choose your own adventure.
Let me know if you or anyone you know would be interested. All curriculum developed will be part of our open educational resources and made publicly available. You can take a look at our curriculum guide that has more information and some example lessons: https://www.elementari.io/files/ElementariCurriculumGuide.pdf#view=FitV
Using Elementari is free and any user can create a classroom of up to 30 students (no emails needed) for free as well.
Our mission is to promote arts and literacy in an engaging and collaborative way and have students build computation thinking skills as a consequence of making a beautiful story that they can be proud to share.

Stuck with science, what should I do now?
I don't know if many people are familiar with my country’s education system. It's basically High School (6th to 10th standard) > College (11th to 12th) > University (Honours, Masters).
I took science while I was in High school and I was quite okay with it, didn’t really seem that hard. But only after going to college, I realised, science is not for me. Specially math and chemistry are the two subjects I just can't get my head around. I said to myself at first, maybe I'm just bad at studies, so I tried harder. I cut myself off from social interactions and focused in my studies, but still, nothing. I'm pretty decent in Physics and Biology but Math and Chemistry is just not my thing. I hate studying these subjects and I don't want to continue studying them in Engineering University. I don't have a knack for Medical fields either. But it's not easy to change from science to Commerce after college. I have to pass entrance exams to study in a University, but I haven't studied any commerce subjects and I have to start from scratch.
I know I can't study Engineering if I'm not good at Math. I'm not sure if I can even pass the entrance exam for Engineering. Same goes for Medical. Should I take a year off and study commerce for BBA? I don't know much about management but it seems like the only way out of this nightmare.

What would you think of a student union? (coming from a student)
At my school, the administrators make decisions that feel like they're more based on how the school looks from the outside, rather than how it actually functions. Currently, our ASB and Class Councils don't function as much to influence campus policy, but more to plan events like formal and other activities. Individual students can't make much change because when you go to the administrators by yourself, they grill the shit out of you and your ideas.
I got an idea to form a student "union". basically, during meetings, any student can throw out their ideas and grievances with the school that can be reasonably fixed, and then a formal bill is drafted and made into a petition. this petition would then be presented to admin in hopes that multiple students voices together would make a bigger difference than an individual.
I have a lot more ideas to go along with this one, I just wanted to post my main ideas. feel free to ask questions.
What do you guys think of this idea? Is it crazy and stupid? Would you participate in it if one was formed at your school? What are your thoughts?
I am widely open to constructive criticism.

Kamala Harris wants to raise Teachers Pay Nationally
Submission Statement:
Kamala Harris is probably the first major candidate in 2020 to actually speak on education in terms of policy proposals. I think her plan makes sense and it addresses and issue that many people ignore (despite multiple states having teacher protests) or Roget about because of the 24/7 news cycle.
Broad Strokes of the plan:
The Harris proposal, the first from a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to address public education through high school, would aim to provide the average public-school teacher a $13,500 pay raise, an amount Ms. Harris’s campaign said correlates with the gap in pay between teachers and others with similar levels of education. Ms. Harris would seek to have the federal government provide “an immediate federal investment” to provide 10% of the pay gap and then incentivize state governments to increase salaries. Her plan would have Washington provide 75% of the additional funding for salaries if states agree to maintain long-term investments.
How it will be funded:
Ms. Harris would fund the proposal by raising estate taxes. That includes making the tax more progressive, “cracking down on loopholes” that let people “avoid paying their fair share” and lowering the per-person exemption from today’s $11.4 million, a Harris aide said.

Visualize Your Reading Online. Possibly for Class Reading?
We can spend hours consuming news and blogs. But it's hard to tell if you are gaining knowledge or wasting time. I've built this Chrome extension to better understand my self-learning progress.
I don't come from academia background. But, the other day my friend who works at university told me that she's been reading more because of the boosted self-awareness (she has been using it for a few months). So, I wanted to share this with the education community. Right now, the tool is generic. Depending on the feedback, it could be catered towards classroom required reading in the future. Any thoughts?

How to make up a highs chool credit as an adult?
Hello! I wasn't sure where else this question may fit, but I'm having trouble finding direct answers and resources myself and need some help.
I'm an 18 year old who was supposed to be class of 2018. However, I have been missing half of an English II credit for a while now and was't able to receive my diploma because of it. Since then, I've moved out of state of my original high school and can't find many options to make up the credit that don't involve moving back to the original state. Are there any online resources or ways I can make up the credit and receive my diploma or any tips on what to do? Thanks!

Provocative new study finds bullies have highest self esteem, social status, lowest rates of depression
Provocative new study finds bullies have highest self esteem, social status, lowest rates of depression. A just-published Canadian study has added heft to a new theory about bullying — that the behaviour actually helps build social rank and sex appeal.
Humans tend to try to establish a rank hierarchy,” says Jennifer Wong, the criminology professor who led the study. “When you’re in high school, it’s a very limited arena in which you can establish your rank, and climbing the social ladder to be on top is one of the main ways … Bullying is a tool you can use to get there.”
Most anti-bullying programs try to change the behaviour of bullies — and they usually don’t work, says Wong, who reviewed the literature on program outcomes for her PhD thesis. That’s probably because the behaviour is biologically hard-wired, not learned, she says.
Wong recommends that, instead of trying to change how bullies think, schools expand the range of competitive, supervised activities they can participate in — giving them a less harmful channel for their dominating tendencies.

Straitjacket for kids?
Hi there, I am 26 years old, with ADHD, but i was only diagnosed 2 years ago.
So yesterday, I had a talk with my girlfriend about my childhood, and about the fact that at 2 I had experiments by night in the toilets, playing with shampoo and soap (my mom told me, but i totally believe it). In the end of the conversation, i said my mom used a straitjacket to keep me in the bed for napping. Cause i would always get up.
My gf was shocked and said she had never heard about that.
Has someone used this kind of straitjacket for kids? Is that old school or just creepy? Was it proposed my doctors back in time? 80-90'.
Thank you for your help.

Kenyan science teacher Peter Tabichi wins $1m global award
"A science teacher from rural Kenya who donates most of his salary to help poorer students has been crowned the world’s best teacher and awarded a $1m prize, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries.
...
Despite only having one computer, a poor internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a “talent nurturing club” and expanded the school’s science club, helping pupils design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions.
...
Now in its fifth year, the [Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize] was set up to highlight the vital role teachers play in society." Source: The Guardian
Can you IMAGINE the difference teachers could make if only society valued our students and teachers enough to distribute the wealth and resources evenly from the get-go? Teachers sacrifice SO much for their communities - what if teachers didn't have to sacrifice at all? What if these resources were provided without question?
Congratulations to Peter Tabichi for his hard work and compassion!

Technology: Friend or Foe?
Most of us would agree that technology makes our life easier and enhances our creativity. However, technology also creates the assumption that the ease of life that it provides is the type of life we want. Technology provides the opportunity for global networking at the expense of building individual relationships, ultimately making us less connected to each other. Technology also creates anxiety when we are separated from it.

Chinese React To U.S. College Admissions Cheating Scandal
China has traditionally valued education: to many here, education is a necessity, a source of pride, and a way to break the spinning wheels of class stratification. But with this educational obsession comes cheating, and lots of it, typically from students trying to get into prep school or college abroad.
Anecdotes about students faking transcripts, hiring ghostwriters to write personal statements, and producing falsified credentials are commonplace. Given that there are more than 360,000 Chinese students in American universities, we wanted to see how the American admissions scandal would resonate here.
How has China reacted to the scandal? Has it impacted how students view the American education system? Has it grabbed the attention of the Chinese mainstream?

No one likes the SAT. It’s still the fairest thing about admissions.
By Jonathan Wai , Matt Brown and Christopher Chabris March 22
The 33 hedge fund managers, Hollywood actresses, CEOs and other well-connected parents indicted this month didn’t just allegedly commit fraud or pay bribes to get their kids into elite schools. Authorities say they also hired ringers or “tutors” to increase their children’s scores on the SAT and ACT standardized tests that colleges use to make admissions decisions. Some have responded to the scandal by arguing that it proves standardized testing is useless at best and deeply unfair at worst, concluding that it should be eliminated once and for all. “You know, what we should think about doing is just scrapping the whole thing,” one California assemblyman told his local CBS station.
It’s true that any system can be gamed if you’re willing to cheat, and students from wealthier backgrounds do have some advantages over others. But eliminating or watering down the SAT wouldn’t solve this problem; in fact, it would make it worse — by removing the one relatively objective admissions criterion that can both prevent fraud and increase social mobility by helping all high school students find the best college opportunities they can.
Higher test scores definitely help students get into higher-ranked institutions. We published an article last year in the Journal of Intelligence showing that simply listing U.S. colleges and universities by their average SAT and ACT scores essentially reproduces the influential rankings produced by U.S. News and other organizations, despite the fact that many of these rankings place little emphasis on test scores. (U.S. News puts 92 percent of the weight on other factors, for example.)
ADVERTISING
It has become a mantra in some quarters to assert that standardized tests measure wealth more than intellectual ability or academic potential, but this is not actually the case. These tests clearly assess verbal and mathematical skills, which a century of psychological science shows are not mere reflections of upbringing. Research has consistently found that ability tests like the SAT and the ACT are strongly predictive of success in college and beyond, even after accounting for a student’s socioeconomic status.
Parents in the top 1 percent of income are quite likely to be above average in intelligence, conscientiousness, self-control and other traits that can set the stage for success. But they also probably experienced a large dose of luck — favorable circumstances, coincidences, right-place-right-time accidents — and their children won’t necessarily have the same kind of luck. In fact, their children’s test scores tend to mark them for lower-ranked, maybe even much lower-ranked, colleges than their parents might expect based on their own economic achievements.
According to College Board data from 2016, the average child of parents who earn more than $200,000 per year has a total SAT score of 1155 (on the current scale of 400 to 1600). This is well above the expected score of a median-income child, which is about 1000. But it is nowhere near exceptional: It is perfectly typical of a student at Syracuse University (ranked No. 288 on our list) but extremely low for No. 9 Stanford (where the average SAT is about 1475) or even No. 41, the University of Southern California (1380). The children swept up in the admissions scandal exemplify this: If the SAT were nothing but a wealth test, then Lori Loughlin, Mossimo Giannulli and other super-rich parents would not have had to cheat to get their kids into the latter two schools. In reality, they had to fake intellectual ability — the one thing they could not buy.
[Five myths about the Ivy League]
A worried one-percenter who didn’t want to resort to crime might instead campaign to remove standardized tests from the admissions process. This would increase the importance of extracurricular activities, interviews and athletics, and wealth provides many more options for gaming these squishy metrics. Even high school grades, touted as an objective substitute for tests, may not be immune from the influences of wealth: A recent study by the economist Seth Gershenson found that GPAs were inflated more from 2005 to 2016 in the richest parts of North Carolina than in the rest of the state, echoing previous studies of other areas that used different methodologies.
What about coaching and other forms of test preparation? Highly paid tutors make bold claims about how much they can raise SAT scores (“my students routinely improve their scores by more than 400 points”), but there is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence that coaching can reliably provide more than a modest boost — especially once simple practice effects and other expected improvements from retaking a test are accounted for. For the typical rich kid, a more realistic gain of 50 points would represent the difference between the average students at Syracuse and No. 197 University of Colorado at Boulder — significant, perhaps, but not dramatic.
The fairest reading of the evidence is that the SAT and the ACT have tremendous value, precisely because they are the only truly uniform, objective and predictive ways to compare candidates with widely varying academic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Even after the scandal, standardized tests are popular with the American public. Advocates of eliminating them should realize that SAT scores don’t just block students from elite colleges — for every privileged student whose bad SAT score keeps them out, there is another student whose SAT helps get them in. Indeed, at one time the SAT opened doors for Jewish students who were intellectually qualified yet essentially barred from attending Harvard, Yale and Princeton. And the recent movement to make tests optional does not seem to have increased student-body diversity.
[I was a first-generation college student at an elite college. The admissions scandal reopens old wounds.]
It remains true that white and Asian students score higher on average than those of other racial backgrounds, but if the goal is to help all students get into the best colleges they can, we should consider a proposal by the education scholar Susan Dynarski: “SAT/ACT for all,” a universal requirement that every high school student take a standardized college admissions test, free of charge during school hours. She argues that this would help underprivileged students far more than eliminating the tests. To this worthy plan, we would add a mandatory practice run or two, to help mitigate differences in preparation and familiarity among test-takers. Studies find that simply taking practice tests increases scores on the final test, even in the absence of other preparation activities. Colleges can do their part by ending score-submission policies that give advantages to students who can afford to take tests over and over to maximize their results. And test companies can do theirs by improving security.
The value of universal testing is supported by the work of economists Caroline Hoxby and Christopher Avery, who used test data to identify a “hidden supply” of high-potential students from low-income families who don’t even consider top colleges and universities where they could receive large scholarships. But if universal testing identified high-ability candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds, they could be advised on how to take advantage of financial aid programs to apply to and attend better schools than they would otherwise. Then the combination of their abilities and their top-quality college educations would make them very likely to climb the socioeconomic ladder.
Even without such changes, standardized test scores are more objective, predictive and verifiable than any of the other criteria used in college admissions. As we saw in the recent scandal, even athletic experience can be easily falsified by anyone with access to Photoshop and a nice bank account. To help all students find their best opportunities, we should increase the use of testing in the college application and admission process, not throw it out.

Do university courses differ that much from each other?
Hey guys, I'm an 18 year old Irish male who is struggling to pick a university to attend. I want to study physics. I am currently picking apart the different courses pretty much module-by-module to find one that suits me.
Are university courses genuinely that much different from each other? I can see theoretical physics and physics from the same university being quite different, but what about two theoretical physics courses from two different universities? What about if they were in two different countries? Would I really walk out of one uni after 3 or 4 years knowing more or knowing different things than if I had studied in another?
Yours truly, a confused teenager.

Entrepreneurship in the education system
The western education system is structured to create disciplined workers and employees and that is giving less freedom to students who want a different future. It seems like everyone is involved in determining a students future except the students themselves.
