- I'm not sure how I missed this post about two weeks ago (actually, it's because I didn't know about the New Economist blog until just now) but the post is just great. G-R-E-A-T great. I'm not even going to summarize so that everyone clicks through to the post above.
- This should count as education because you can learn from the post so here are some tips on making conversation, from the candid Penelope Trunk.
- Are you tired of student loans?
- Hm, how can I get this to happen to the CK Tutors blog? :-)
- And it seems, as always, that Facebook is everywhere. But an IPO?
- And from Jay Mathews at the W Post, 10 steps to reduce application stress. I don't really agree, but it's my duty to provide links and so here is the link.
I'll be in Newport this weekend and in Atlanta through Wednesday, so posting will be spotty at best. As always, feel free to send an email, write in a comment here (or on Facebook), send an IM, etc. etc. Even though I'm not always available, I always respond to messages. Have a good weekend!

Linking Back: College Admissions, Donations, Graduations, and more
- The Freakonomics Blog pointed out the recent increased volume of articles and reporting in the NY Times talking about the difficulty of getting into college.
- CNN reports that a donor gave $100 million to UChicago... anonymously.
- Here's a good article from the WSJ on sleep (or lack thereof) having an influence on performance.
- A dad, son, and granddaughter are graduating together.
- Here's a great post on special ed. students and the honor roll. A sampling: I think it would be nice if we could find a way to reward people... without pretending that her performance is on par with kids who are taking much tougher classes.
- Joanne Jacobs touches on the 5 year plans... in high schools. I have many friends who are graduating Georgia Tech and other schools in 5 years, but I'd never heard of such high amounts of high schoolers doing the same.
- Here's a new set of wealthy investors getting involved in education as reported in Whitney Tilson's School Reform Blog.
