A boat laden with up to 950 people capsized in the Mediterranean Sea on Sunday.

Denisha Merriweather recently wrote about her schooling experience in The Wall Street Journal. She was in fourth grade, and she hated school. She was held back twice, disliked going to school and thought she would end up as a high school dropout. She grew up with her biological mother but moved around a lot, which took a heavy toll on her grades and enthusiasm for learning. In her own words, “learning had become a nightmare — a punishment for being a child.” Denisha’s story is not a unique one. Unfortunately, there are kids in all 50 states who resent education. Some of these negative frameworks are out of the government’s control, but I would argue most of it is due to an educational system stuck in the 20th century and bogged down by bureaucracy. We all know education reform is desperately needed, but no one, especially our elected officials, is ever willing to confront the problem.

We have learned that organizations are more likely to be successful over the long term if their members contribute racial, cultural, gender, geographic and disciplinary breadth. Similarly, top universities increasingly have students and faculty who bring a rich tapestry of knowledge and understanding due to their different races, religions and numerous other areas of experience and perspective.
I went to the Paynes Prairie lookout off of 441 on Saturday to show my aunt, who is visiting from Vermont, the beautiful wildlife of Florida.
