POPSJust the Facts Mam… Two-thirds of the world’s eggplant is grown in New Jersey. The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.

POPSThank Heaven for Little...Boys? Maurice Chevalier would be so disappointed. I *really* don't want to sit in judgement upon a culture about which I am largely ignorant, but this preference seems alarmingly short-sighted. On a biological level, it doesn't make much long-term sense. Let's say that parents depend on their son(s) to provide for them in their old age--is it crazy to imagine that their daughter-in-law would be a critical component in their care? How, precisely, do bachelor sons care for elderly parents. I'd love to be enlightened on this issue. Can anyone help me understand this?

POPSWhat We Must Do to Create a System That Prepares Students for College Success
Millions of high school seniors have signed college acceptance letters as of May 1, but does making it into college ensure academic success and a degree? A new Policy Perspectives paper from WestEd argues that high schools and colleges haven't aligned their separate education systems enough to eliminate college remedial work, decrease college dropout rates, and speed the time toward earning a baccalaureate degree. David T. Conley outlines the alarming indicators of a system that is not functioning as efficiently as it could: (1) Between 30 and 60 percent of students now require remedial college courses, an increase over previous years; (2) For those who make it to college graduation, on average it now takes six years to earn a four-year college degree; and (3) While more companies now expect a college degree as a baseline for employment, the percentage of high school students who go on to earn bachelor's degrees has remained relatively constant over the past 25 years.
