...Westfield High in nearby Chantilly, Cho was a quiet boy. Joseph Boayu, a high-school acquaintance, said Cho was so withdrawn that "sometimes you'd ask him a question, and he'd not even acknowledge that you asked him." He also said Cho earned A's in math...
...News of these investigations comes just as families of thousands of high-school students are scrambling to find the best financial-aid packages. Many colleges, concerned that the actions of a few individuals risk destroying the integrity of higher education, are engaging in some serious soul-searching. In an e-mail sent yesterday to 62 university presidents and chancellors, Robert Berdahl, president of the Association of American Universities, told the group's members that "even if you find that your student-aid office is doing nothing illegal, you should ask if your student-loan business arrangements, policies, and practices...

At least 15 states, however, have adopted a minimum dropout age of 18, netting diplomas for a vastly larger population. Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 recently proposed such an increase here, and we join him in his call for a better education for all Bay State teens. Although many upper high-school...
