A teacher (L) leads a discussion during classes at a government high school in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila February 17, 2011. The Philippines plans to add two years of schooling to its basic education to try to reclaim a lost advantage over its Asian neighbours, but without a broad overhaul and more funding, the extra time will achieve little.

Students board their school bus in a sub-zero temperature in Minneapolis, January 8, 2014. A deadly blast of arctic air shattered decades-old temperature records as it enveloped the eastern United States on Tuesday, snarling air, road and rail travel, driving energy prices higher and overwhelming shelters for homeless people. According to AccuWeather.com, the extreme cold won't last much longer. The frigid air and "polar vortex" that affected about 240 million people in the United States and southern Canada will depart during the second half of this week, and a far-reaching January thaw will begin, according to AccuWeather.com.
