Heather McGhee, of Demos:

[W]hy don’t we rate state legislatures on their per-student investment in higher education? Our research shows that state cuts to higher education funding are the driving force behind skyrocketing tuition increases…

At Demos we believe in ending the debt-for-diploma system once and for all. An interest-bearing loan is not financial aid. It is a roadblock that keeps 100,000 qualified low-income college students from enrolling every year, and it is a burden that drains nearly 20 percent of a graduate’s wealth over their lifetime, according to our new report.

Kelly-Marie Dugmore, 30, and husband Paul Jones, 43, spoke out today about the bullies who allegedly taunted their son Aaron Dugmore for 'being white'.

Unbelievable...clearly a global, non-skin-color-related problem that needs to be addressed in school districts around the world. PLEASE RE-BLOG and/or SHARE if you agree and feel that there MUST be a greater sense of social awareness and responsibility taken by parents, teachers, and administrators to bring a halt to bullying of all types...whether in school, via social media, etc., ....

The nightmarish vision some of my students have when they dream about our Middle School math class?!

First Selectman Peter Tesei said he has been told by people in the community who knew Palosz that bullying might have contributed to his decision to take his own life. The circumstances that precipitated Palosz's suicide are under investigation by Greenwich Police, who were reported Wednesday to be probing the bullying allegations and planning to interview students. A preliminary investigation into Palosz's death has revealed the shot gun used in the suicide was family-owned and had been stored in a gun locker inside the home, Greenwich Police said. School crisis teams on Wednesday convened at Greenwich High, Western Middle School and New Lebanon School, which are the schools that Palosz attended. Kim Eves, director of communications for the public school district, said the school system takes seriously the importance of fostering a positive school climate. "Any indications that a student is experiencing significant mental health distress is addressed at the school level by personnel trained to recognize and respond to these concerns," she said. Importantly, if any staff member believes that a student poses a danger to him/herself, or others, parents are notified and the student is immediately referred to outside supports and providers. "Hey if I were to stab my eye out due to school caused insanity, who would miss me?" he wrote July 3 beside a photo of himself holding the tip of a knife to his pupil.

...and yet another in a sobering--and seemingly never-ending--line of school/social media-related tragedies....
