"Matthew M. Chingos of the Brookings Institution has found that low-income students finish college less often than affluent peers even when they outscore them on skills tests. Only 26 percent of eight-graders with below-average incomes but above-average scores go on to earn bachelor’s degrees, compared with 30 percent of students with subpar performances but more money."

my feelings towards Made in Chelsea

a bit slow.. but watevs.. im fresh off the plane...

i find it disgusting. how can rich people live with themselves a midst all this economic break down... esp with the occupy wall street issue.. are they not aware of the 99%

i know its like gossip girl.. but at least gossip girl is.. a drama series.. while MIC is supposedly a soap-reality tv series

and i know it must be exaggerated to bits.. but its still off-putting.. im trying to get myself thru episode 2... but the whole caggie/spencer drama ANNOYS me too..

how stupid
