Personally, I'd like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.

Rich countries can afford to overpay for things.

My parents are very successful, and I went to the nicest private school in the Seattle area. I was lucky. But I never had any trust funds of any kind, though my dad did pay my tuition at Harvard, which was quite expensive.

Given how few young people actually read the newspaper, it's a good thing they'll be reading a newspaper on a screen.

The best teacher is very interactive.

What's amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It's so far away in time that they can't appreciate what it means for their whole life.
