News: All Schools, All the Time(s)

Question: How do you know it's back-to-school/apply-to-school time?
Answer: The NYTimes does an entire edition of the weekend magazine devoted to education.

And, in true Times fashion, the stories are Exhibit A in what people make fun of the Times (and "liberal media" in general) for: gay middle-school students, precocious preschoolers, inner-city high schoolers excelling and, naturally, green colleges (and locavores to boot).

Maybe more applicable to your application process, check out their advice about applying to school without disclosing your SAT scores. As with anything new (the change to self-reporting SAT scores through the common application is in its first year), there's a lot of.... confusion.

Worrying about reporting test scores make you feel like crying? Here's a reminder of something you get to look forward to. Remember: It's more fun to be the offender than the offended. ----CJ
