  • As reported in "School choice debate continues to sizzle" (Jan. 30), debate continues to center on whether or not to give children the choice to attend safe, high-quality schools, possibly even private schools, when in actuality, shouldn't the conversation really be about how to make all public schools safe and high-quality?

  • I refer to the report “Employment rate of fresh polytechnic graduates dipped in 2014” TODAY (15 Jan) and felt that there is a need for employers to give student graduates equal employment opportunities for them to contribute their knowledge and skills-sets to the various industries that they are interested in.

  • Some colleges have been following that guidance. The University of Chicago has been praised for its new campaign to recruit low-income students — a strategy that reduces the financial paperwork in the admissions process, and guarantees low- and middle-income students summer employment while no longer expecting them to work during the academic year. And in April, Janet Napolitano, president of the University of California system, sent letters to 5,000 high-achieving, low-income California high school students encouraging them to apply, noting that the UC schools cover tuition and fees for students whose families make less than $80,000 annually.

    The idea of giving low-income students employment during the summer, when they aren't in school, so that they are making money but still getting an education is spreading through colleges.  This way low and middle income students are getting the education they need to be successful after college but are still making money so they won't end up in the lower class

  • This year's gathering in the Swiss alps comes at a time when income inequality has reached its highest levels ever. An Oxfam report says that 80 people now control as much wealth as 3.5 billion people, or about half the world's population. The Oxfam report concluded that if current trends continue, the top one percent of the world's earners will own more wealth than the other 99 percent by next year.

    "This post first appeared at Economic Policy Institute. In 2014 the pace of job growth picked up, a welcome development. Yet the economy remains far from healthy. The twin issues of income inequality and stagnant wage growth for the vast majority of Americans took center stage. Better late than never." This article explains many of the income inequality. Also explains the productivity of each class, and how much money they get as a result.

    "By the end of this decade, two in three jobs will require some form of higher education. Yet, as the President noted, too many bright, hard-working students are priced out of college. In his address, the President laid out his top priorities - all aimed at expanding opportunity and opening the gateway to the middle class to more Americans." The president begins to talk about why the need for a college education is an important factor in being successful. This article also explains how we are going to make college more affordable so that it is more popular to have a college diploma in America.

    ""We're facing right now a divided America when it comes to the economy. It is true that the top 1 percent are doing great under Barack Obama. Today, the top 1 percent earn a higher share of our national income than any year since 1928," he said, quoting an oft-cited (by liberals) statistic from the work of economists Piketty and Emmanuel Saez." This article is about the problems with income inequality we are facing in America.

    "Black males, even when given the same educational and economic resources as their peers of other races, are likely to fall short of their counterparts in virtually every measure of academic success." This article begins by talking about how the United States is the ideal place to get an education, how anything is possible, and how opportunity is plentiful. It then however proceeds to talk about "invisible barriers" that are especially apparent in African American males. They credit support this with statistics that show that African American boys are two times as likely to be held back in school and three times more likely to be suspended. They finish by talking about how it is necessary to "re-vamp" the American education system.

    ""The challenge now is to move beyond the temporary disappointment of an accreditation rating and work together - school divisions shoulder to shoulder with the department - to share best practices and implement the instructional strategies that will move our students toward college and career readiness," state Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples said in a statement. While 68 percent of Virginia's 1,827 public schools achieved Fully Accredited status for 2014-2015, the number of schools that were Accredited with Warning increased from 393 last year to 545 this year. Last year 77 percent of Virginia schools were rated as Fully Accredited. The year before, 93 percent earned Full Accreditation." The purpose of this article was to display how the standardized test scores have declined over the years, specifically in schools around the Richmond area. Many schools have been accredited with warnings, but others, including Wilder Middle School, were denied.

    "Gates' solution? Shift the American tax code from one that taxes labor to one that taxes consumption. Now, this sounds like standard, right-wing economic theory. Consumption taxes are usually favored by the wealthy and by conservative economists because they tend to be regressive in nature. Since everyone-rich and poor-have to consume some amount of goods and services, and because the proportion of income spent is much higher for the poor than the rich, consumption taxes like state and local sales tax burden the poor more than the rich." This article outlines different solutions to income inequality posed by different people with varying social statuses. It also displays causes of some of these problems and introduces unique solutions.

  • The poor developing countries were expected to gradually get out of misery with the help of development aid and family planning. And no major countries were found in the middle -- in the wide gap between the West and the rest. The only exceptions were a few small island nation states like Singapore, Hong Kong and also Cuba.

    "Globalization and technological change have made middle-skill, middle-income jobs harder to find. Low-skill, low-paying jobs have stuck around. And there are high-paying jobs for those at the top with the skills to put technology to profitable use." In this article, income inequality is discussed, specifically the differences in income of people of different ages and educational backgrounds. A compelling point is made in the article about how the middle class is struggling to support enough jobs to keep people employed. Interestingly enough, low-paying jobs and high-paying jobs continue to thrive.

    "Income grew 9 percent for households at the 60th percentile, 22 percent for those at the 80th percentile and 36 percent for those at the 95th percentile." This article explain what exactly the "opportunity gap in America" is, and in addition to that, shows backed up graphs and evidence as to how the gap has increased/decreased in the past 40 years. It clearly shows that the rich get richer, and the poor stay at the same level or get poorer.

    "Among households headed by high school dropouts, incomes grew roughly in lockstep - and were basically stagnant at all levels. Among households headed by high school graduates, and in those headed by college graduates, those in the middle actually saw their wages fall. The only group that saw significant gains was households headed by high-earning college grads. Labor economists call this "the hollowing out of the middle." Globalization and technological change have made middle-skill, middle-income jobs harder to find. Low-skill, low-paying jobs have stuck around. And there are high-paying jobs for those at the top with the skills to put technology to profitable use. One thing to note: That bump in 2000 for incomes among bachelor's degree holders does not reflect reality - it's the result of a temporary change in the way the census reported income for those at the top. Does age make much of a difference in income inequality? Yes, especially for households headed by people between 45 and 65. In those groups, income for the middle class and the poor actually fell in the past 20 years."
