"It might sound odd to say that kids in high school have to learn the skills to sleep,” says Mansfield health teacher Tony Davis, who has incorporated a newly released sleep curriculum into a state-required high school health class. “But you’d be shocked how many just don’t know how to sleep.”

Most private, nonprofit #colleges & #universities are exempt from paying federal income taxes because they are classified as a 501(c)(3) organization with an #educational mission. Universities do pay other taxes, such as payroll taxes for employees.

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit & hire, & which areas of study & inquiry they can pursue,” #Harvard President Alan Garber said in his message.

Ever wondered why some very smart people dont make good money ?
Not radio, not motion picture , not #mooc not free #books or #colleges if anything can change #education its change the way world economy works and guess what , nobody can possibly change it.
Any choice one makes is a function of one's surroundings, assuming that they certainly survive epsilon more while
Than how do some people learn , because they re hellbent on figuring something out
Hey i didnt say all of em succeed . But this is the only way i can think of
Free will is joke , so is determinism
Learning can be application of thinking and effort , but application is simply a matter of ability to recall what you learnt
