I recommend the book to students (and their parents) who are applying to college or will be applying to college, mostly to demonstrate the poor parenting, cyncial college counseling, and selfish student attitudes that are so prevalent today among those who believe there are only a handful of colleges worth going to.]]> http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/08/22/book-review-karen-stabiner/feed/ 0 http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/30/health-care-bill-education/ http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/30/health-care-bill-education/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 02:15:17 +0000 Tam Warner Minton http://collegeadventures.net/blog/?p=2420 http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/30/health-care-bill-education/feed/ 0 http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/03/college-graduation-rates/ http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/03/college-graduation-rates/#comments Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:33:11 +0000 Tam Warner Minton http://collegeadventures.net/blog/?p=2205 http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/03/college-graduation-rates/feed/ 0 http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/01/investing-education-economic-sense/ http://collegeadventures.net/blog/2010/03/01/investing-education-economic-sense/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:58:16 +0000 Tam Warner Minton http://collegeadventures.net/blog/?p=2219 Chronicle of Higher Education by Goldie Blumenstyk offers further incentive for the USA to invest in education. She reports that inventions in medicine, genetics, and alternative energy sources helped create over 500 university spinoff companies in 2008.
