Interest in elite high school math competitions has grown in recent years, and in light of last summer's U.S. win at the International Math Olympiad ( ' , IMO)—the first for an American team in more than two decades— the trend is likely to continue.

In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children's education.

Why, then, has this claim become so popular?Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment—in part because experts and analysts believe that declaring the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious.

When I was in high school, dozens in my class alone would have answered differently.

Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service system—doctors are rewarded for the quantity of care rather than its quality of effectiveness—is a primary reason that the cost of care is so high.

The high cost of medical services and unnecessary tests and treatments have driven up medical expenses.

The gold standard study by Harvard and Columbia University scholars found that even in high-poverty schools, teachers consistently had a huge positive or negative impact.

Teaching is so important that it should be like other professions, with high pay and good working conditions but few job protections for bottom performers.

On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand.

The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious.

Per-capita local government spendingIn other words, communities with high levels of per-capita income growth, high percentages of two-parent families, and high local government spending—which may stand for good schools— are the most likely to help poor children relive Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches story.

People should not expect too much from American higher education.

In particular, Arum and Roksa found, college students were not developing the critical thinking, analytic reasoning and other higher-level skills that are necessary to thrive in today's knowledge-based economy and to lead our nation in a time of complex challenges and dynamic change.

Imagine how intimidating it be for prospective students unfamiliar with the complexities of higher education to navigate this kind of information and then identify which schools are the best fit.

For students who have been coasting through college, and for American universities that have been demanding less work, offering more attractions and charging higher tuition, the party may soon be over.

Elite universities tend to graduate first-generation students at a higher rate.

College graduates will still fare better than those with only s high school education, of course.

Chetty finds that communities like Salt Lake City, with high levels of two-parent families and religiosity, are much more likely to see poor children get ahead than communities like Atlanta, with high levels of racial and economic segregation.

As a former high school teacher, I saw students choose familiar, cheaper options year after year.

And while Rubinoff believes there are a good number of four-year schools that truly care about these students and set aside significant resources and programs for them, he says that number isn't high enough.

American higher education has lost its global competitiveness.

While fully 64% of all U.S. high school graduates attend college of some point in their life, just 30% of the comparable German population, 28% of the French, 20% of the British, and 37%of the Japanese proceed beyond high school.

A new study from michigan State University, though, argues that all students—including high achievers—see a decline in performance when they browse the Internet during class for non-academic purposes.

According to Harry Vallentine, a Canadian engineer who is researching modern steam technology, a special tank measuring 2 by 10 metres could store over 750 kilowatt hours of energy as high pressure steam, enough to pull a two-cart train for an hour or so.
