Students’ high school curriculum rigor is among strongest predictors of college success. MA & HI are raising the bar 1.usa.gov/1klbCXF
ugh to untruths..


The Melrose Public School district just north of Boston was among the first to make the MassCore course of study a requirement.  “We’re asking more of students,” said Margaret Adams, the district’s chief academic officer. “If we help and support them and give them the tools to be successful, they rise to the occasion every time.”
either that or fitting Denise pope research.. no?

The Springfield Public Schools put the policy in place for the graduating class of 2013. “We did not want our students’ high school studies to be a barrier to their future,” said Yolanda Johnson, the district’s director of student support services. “If we were ever going to improve our college-going and college-completion rate, this is what we were going to have to do.

2. יכולת לשמור על אופק זמן ארוך טווח ומשמעת אסטרטגית - בעולם של הסחות דעת אינטרנטיות, מי שיכול לשמור על משמעת עצמית לכיוון מטרה אחת, יהיה בעל ערך עצום.
3. יצירתיות - היכולת להבין את מהותו של דבר אחד ושל משהו שונה בתכלית, ולצרף ביניהם כדי ליצור דבר שלישי וחדש לגמרי.

noam chomsky - obedience as a filter

"Even the fact that the system has a lot of stupidity in it has a function. It means that people are filtered out for obedience. If you can guarantee lots of stupidity in the educational system, like stupid assignments and things like that, you know that the only people who will make it through…. are people who are willing to do it no matter how stupid it is, because they want to go to the next step…

Well, there are people who don't do that. There are people who say, "I'm not going to do it, it's too ridiculous." Those people are called "behavioral problems."

They end up in the principal's office, or in the streets, or selling drugs, or whatever. And all of this is a technique for selection for obedience." ~Noam Chomsky
