...what most concerned him was that the number of students considered "highly mobile," meaning they had moved at least once during the school year, had ballooned to 34,000, partly because of the home-foreclosure crisis. At least 1,500 students were homeless--probably more. "I had a whole array of students who were angry, depressed, not getting the rest they needed," Cash says. It led him to ponder an unusual proposition: What if the best way to help kids in impoverished urban neighborhoods is to get them...
...stormy meeting of Israel's Labor Party on Tuesday night, Ehud Barak pushed his party into joining a right-wing coalition government led by Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu.

Here, there are literary nerds, drama nerds, math nerds, volunteerism nerds. Those at Harvard who still maintain their “pure” nerdiness are nerds among nerds, meta...
While at first, Gen Ed’s required lower-level classes in the Humanities and Social Sciences, such as Social Sciences 2, would cover a broad array of thought—like the definition of love by different philosophers—they eventually devolved into more specialized classes, like Humanities 25: “Civilization of Continental and Island Portugal.” Gen Ed’s middle-level courses—which could be replaced with two departmental alternatives for each slot—were even more specialized. After almost 25 years, then-Dean of the Faculty...
