...southwest—and along the east coast from Boston to Miami—many urban schools have highly transient populations. Students move in and out of these schools as their guardians find seasonal work in another area of the state, or housing difficulties force a move. It is fair and just to expect schools to educate these students as devotedly as all others, but ludicrous to test the schools’ ability to educate based on the scores of students who arrive just weeks before the test...
...movie, a dreamy meditation on midlife crises and the nature of transient connections, Murray plays Bob Harris, a disillusioned movie star in Tokyo to shoot a Japanese whiskey commercial.

But if the city wants to target students based on some unproven notion that students are disproportionately responsible for unpaid fines, or simply because students are a transient, vulnerable and unrepresented group, then it should think twice. Encroaching upon the academic prerogatives of the universities and specifically targeting students, the dynamic lifeblood of this region, is no way to run a city...
