@AndOneForBlog @MichaelPetrilli @charlesmurray @drshow Yes, Brookings' Isabel Sawhill discussing: http://t.co/JkzqBrtrVe via @BrookingsInst
"Not all college degrees are created equal." @isawhill explains why not everyone should go to college http://t.co/HQZOS82oTH
RT @MichaelPetrilli: .@AndrewPKelly @BrookingsInst @saragoldrickrab @deandad @JFFtweets Seems that easy majors at non-selective colleges aren't good investments.
RT @RichardvReeves: Gaps in 'college readiness' not being closed by the $1 billion being spent on it. Good summary here @BrookingsEcon http://t.co/QW7GcmONp8
Avoid another FAA fiasco by privatizing transportation as they do in the UK & Canada says Cliff Winston http://t.co/PdqJMSGgEA
So not everyone should go to college? A new policy brief from @isawhill and @StephOwen213 http://t.co/G82XsjMTdX
Nice WP editorial shout-out to Adele Morris' proposal: Carbon tax is best option Congress has http://t.co/PKLGkHshgg via @washingtonpost

Nice @justinwolfers shout out for #BPEA. Reinhart-Rogoff’s Lesson for Economists http://t.co/hrC1MlhthR via @BloombergView.
RT @BrookingsInst: Ron Haskins closes out #CollegeReady discussion with @FutureChildren. Explore more in new infographic & policy brief: http://t.co/t5zjsweygH
What kind of measures, other than e.g. earnings, can we look to note education success? Haskins suggests marriage rates. #CollegeReady
.@Pozen and @NICSAPres on the need to improve risk disclosure for complex mutual funds http://t.co/Ty9AFubulA
RT @CollegeBoundInc: We need to know why programs are working not just that they are working. Sandy Baum @BrookingsInst #CollegeReady
.@BethAkersEd: We want to be careful not to look at short-term success. College enrollment doesn't always = college graduation #CollegeReady
RT @BrookingsInst: Venezia: We need more research on what is good mentoring/tutoring & ensuring that interventions go all the way through college #CollegeReady
But, lack of scientific evidence doesn't mean lack of success. These programs work in real world; judgment calls will be made. #CollegeReady
