MEMPHIS - It was a brazen and surprisingly long-lived scheme, authorities said, to help aspiring public school teachers cheat on the tests they must pass to prove they are qualified to lead their classrooms. For 15 years, teachers in three Southern states paid Clarence Mumford Sr. -- himself a longtime educator -- to send someone else to take the tests in their place, authorities said. Each time, Mumford received a fee of between $1,500 and $3,000 to send one of his test ringers with fake identification to the Praxis exam. In return, his...

For low-income and minority middle school students across America the message is, all too often, “you can’t.” It’s reinforced in the classroom, in the media, among peers, and it’s also the message from education statistics: high school dropout rates are uneven by district, college grades remain stubbornly unequal. But researchers from Stanford are aiming to turn that message on its head by borrowing from an oft-heard expression: when you think you can, you can. In pairs of short, 25-minute...

A high school diploma is so important, it’s like that old credit card commercial that warned people to never leave home without it. On every door in every high school there should be a warning label that reads: “Warning: leaving high school without a diploma is hazardous to your health and everyone around you.” This is why dropping out of school should be illegal. You might be inclined to think that this is too harsh or punitive. If a student wishes to quit school at a certain age, he or she should have that right. Should they then have the r...
Minnesotans hoping that a newly elected DFL-controlled Legislature might rethink the state's controversial wolf hunt may be disappointed. The hunt received bipartisan support earlier this year, and DFL backers will hold key leadership posts. Rather than being partisan, views about the hunt reflect Minnesota's cultural divisions -- among hunters who kill wolves for sport; those opposed to hunting animals not used for food; landowners losing livestock to wolves; Ojibwe bands, for whom the gray...
Malcolm Gladwell, author of "The Tipping Point" and a New Yorker staff writer, told me how he prepared, years ago, to write his first "Talk of the Town" story. "Talk" articles have a distinct style, and he wanted to make sure he got the voice straight in his head before he began writing. His approach was simple. He sat down and read 100 "Talk" pieces, one after the other....

“If there wasn’t a teen center, teenagers would be bored and they would probably get into trouble,” said Desiray Miles, 13, San Carlos Apache. Miles is one of four teenagers hanging out at the Boys and Girls Club of the San Carlos Apache Nation in southeastern Arizona. Whether boredom is a factor or not, Native American teenagers are committing crimes at an alarming rate. According to the Tribal Court Clearinghouse website, while the crime rate for U.S. youth is decreasing, the crime rate for violent crimes among Native American teens conti...
