THE CASE FOR @CLUELY: Gen Z chooses to tear down a gatekeeping system rather than reform it. - Up to one third of students at elite high schools abuse disability policies to unfairly get extra time on exams. - @WSJ reported a 10th-grader at a private high school estimates that.

Car tires (and the soles of your shoe) are made of plastic that we call synthetic rubber. You can buy shoes made of real rubber/latex, but I’m not sure if you can buy tires that don’t put plastic in the air and land.

Financial policy in higher ed is simply a reminder that Khan Academy completely failed. Recorded lectures from world-class educators available to all. and nothing about the system adapted to that!
