I revisited this iPhone 4 capture from more than four years ago to play a little, practicing in the use of some photo editing tools.

Give students more autonomy and responsibility for their learning
Today’s post: a warning about how the US society is not treating young students well, from a star SAT-preparation person. I’m including one snippet, but the whole post is very well worth reading.
American students have become far too reliant on everyone and everything but themselves.

It is really hard for nonspecialists to understand it, though, as it tends to be presented in esoteric journal articles full of difficult math and jargon. Even applied economists and economic policy makers have a hard time absorbing the lessons of cutting-edge microeconomics research. I was glad to find out today, via a post by Al Roth, about this new website which has the mission of bridging this exact gap. It’s not easy; I should know, having tried for years to make difficult mathematical papers in microeconomics digestible to students. But it is a worthy endeavor.
