The puzzle story was really interesting and I appreciated the application to the classroom. It's hard to get a sense whether the fading is a lack of routine cognitive work or just burnout from trying to build the perfect college experience from Day 1.
FIFA, the land of dynamic pricing models pushing global fans out of a global game due to the one host country not having protections in place for ticket pricing. Add in the immigration angle keeping fans and the one Somali Referee (considered to be the best in Africa) who has been vetted by CPB as a Terrorist "adjacent" person of interest?
The 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games were the only one to make a profit... Romney turned that scandel plagued mess around. (The 2034 Games are using the same facilities, hopefully that keeps costs down?)
*The costs rarely account for the US Government adding security for events. Monday's NBA match in NYC? Super Bowls?
We have a generational literacy concern, underperforming schools graduating kids who can't read to grade and are just passed up the ladder.
Using Baltimore, 13% of 4th Graders read to grade, 34% by Grade 10? 71% graduation rate? (10 HS have a barely 50% graduation rate) $1.8B budget for district? You can't get a job if you can't read the application is the oldest argument.
*My nephew goes to a private school that had an entrance exam for the HS to ensure reading aptitude. (not a good example, paying $32K a year means your kid had access to better tools.)
A lot of interesting stuff in the news lately. Alebit i am surprised to just now discover this supposed emerging literacy crisis and then you share the puzzle story. Education still has a ways to go. Although, true progress has been made.
