The hype turned out to be more than the actual event.

What they don’t tell you about “dream colleges”

May 11, 2012

Deciding where to go to college is the first big choice you will make for yourself. It’s all up to you—the location, the size, the level of difficulty, the subject you will study.

Genuises exist outside of math and science

March 23, 2012

When you think of genius what comes to mind? Probably the kid behind you in math class who knows, off the top of his head, how to integrate natural log’s inverse, the chemical properties of cobalt, and the equation for the speed of light.

Too much work creates bad habits for students

November 28, 2011

We go to school for six and a half hours every day and still manage to do four to six hours of homework each night, essentially doubling the time we spend focusing on education. Yet somehow, when that quiz day comes, we still have no clue what we’re looking at. The reason for this problem resides in... Read more »

Online alter egos create potential for bullying

October 13, 2011

Teenagers regard social media––namely Facebook and Twitter––as the greatest invention our generation has ever known.
