It's #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, our second favorite voting-related holiday. Head over to votesaveamerica.com to register, confirm your registration is up-to-date, or volunteer to get other people registered. Then treat yourself to a democracy cookie, you earned it.

You said "what punishment of gods are not gifts. Do you really believe that?" @andersoncooper, choking back tears, asks Stephen Colbert, as they discuss grief.
"Yes," replies the comedian. "It's a gift to exist and with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that."

This is worth a read: a thought-provoking reminder that education reform isn’t a cure-all. As a supporter of education reform, I agree that fixing educational inequality requires doing more to address the broader, systemic sources of economic inequality. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Stop asking students:
1) What college do you want to go to?
2) What do you want to study?
3) What do you want to be when you grow up?
Start asking students:
How do you want to impact the world?
Then, determine a course of action from there.

Students are told that college is a ticket out of poverty, a place to grow, a gateway to a good job. But going to college doesn't mean you'll finish your degree.
And for millions of Americans, that just isn't happening. n.pr/2u5hOiL

20 years ago, Oregon became the first state to adopt an entirely vote-by-mail system. Every voter receives a ballot by mail that they can return through a post office or secure drop site. - @NBCNightlyNews nbcnews.to/2DjngoN

Huge shortages loom in the skilled trades, which require less — and cheaper — training. Should that make students rethink the four-year degree?

The 2018 AP Calculus AB scores: 5: 19%; 4: 17.3%; 3: 21.2%; 2: 22.4%; 1: 20.1%. Performance this year is very, very similar to last year, so we’re seeing very similar distributions of scores.
