...That would be a good lesson for French students to start learning today. Carolyn Davenport-Moncel Courbevoie, France I am an 18-year-old French student. I agree with your article about the French fear of change. While France has a particularly powerful and efficient public system of free tuition, medical and unemployment insurance and pension plans, all these lead us to be very demanding of the government. We want it to assist us with every difficulty, even if the current economic situation makes that impossible. The French have to think now about the government as a guide...
...Senior Gift can legitimately claim that the withholding of a single $10 donation will materially hurt Harvard. And no detractor can feign great enough financial distress to justify their refusal to plunk down the cash equivalent of a beer and a burrito.

...Palmerston North, New Zealand. His and wife Barbara's experience mirrors that of many families: having spent the first year or two of home education trying to duplicate the classroom scene, the Smiths nowadays largely eschew anything resembling lessons. Their view is that children need intensive one-on-one tuition to master the three Rs, but thereafter only guidance and access to books. The jovial Smith plonks his youngsters on his knees and tells them news and stories. They go to church twice on Sundays and travel often within New Zealand and occasionally overseas. Three times a day they...
...William C. Kirby said that “Harvard is actually more affordable for many students than public colleges or universities.” Note the qualifier: “many.” Certainly, Harvard is more affordable for students whose other alternatives are paying out-of-state tuition for an elite public university. Where Harvard continues to fail, however, is in providing an acceptable level of financial aid to middle-income families. These families, which make between $110,000 and $200,000 a year, have been excluded entirely from HFAI’s windfalls. And they are many...
