...what about the more obvious pleasure, the copious nudity? This is the director of Last Tango, one of the most erotic pictures of the last 40 years. Sadly, this constitutes a different kind of nudity. Rather than being a result of strong sexuality and eroticism, Bertolucci pares the nudity down to its base elements. While all three are bathing naked in the bath, Isabelle has her period. Although her menstrual blood is presumably meant to symbolize the danger in their relationship at that point, the net effect is turning off the audience. It only adds to the uneasiness we already...
It’s important to note that barreling right into exams would in no way harm students. Most classes here are graded with a curve, and any evaluation depends on other students’ performance; you wouldn’t be able to polish outlines and finish copious note-taking, but neither would anyone else...

Reliance on SAT scores to determine the minimal-requirement threshold is not a universally popular move. Copious evidence suggests that performance on standardized tests is correlated to socioeconomic status, and studies have shown that it’s not by any personal failure that people who are poorer score lower. A March 2003 Century Foundation study backed others’ findings that low-income students placed in wealthy high schools tend to outscore their low-income peers at poorer schools...
