• Officials: Number of Pupils in Westmoreland Without Shelter has Jumped 55 Percent

With her family newly settled into a temporary apartment in Greensburg, Charmaine Miller reflected on the year-long cascade of misfortunes that left her and her three children homeless. When her husband won a gun in a raffle, a background check turned up a 20-year-old warrant in Colorado, she said. Miller, whose health problems prevent her from working, struggled to pay the bills after his arrest. After their electricity was shut off, they moved into different relatives' homes, eventually winding up in Greensburg's Welcome Home Shelter.

• Help Greatest Number of Pupils

What a great thing! I suppose that's what I'm supposed to say about The Chronicle story "Students get a chance at early college work" (Jan. 7). Ninth-graders now can take college courses, and high school graduates can graduate with a two-year college degree. Well, as it is now, many high school graduates cannot perform work at the eighth-grade level, and too many college graduates can't perform work at the 12th-grade level, and all this is accomplished with taxpayers' dollars. It is very apparent the educational system has been dumbed down since the 1960s and continues to do so.

• Democrats Trying to Increase Dependency On Government

WASHINGTON -- Only two things are infinite -- the expanding universe and Democrats' hostility to the District of Columbia's school choice program. Killing this small program, which currently benefits 1,300 mostly poor and minority children, is odious and indicative. It is a small piece of something large -- the Democrats' dependency agenda, which aims to multiply the ways Americans are dependent on government. Democrats, in their canine devotion to teachers unions, oppose empowering poor children to escape dependency on even terrible government schools. Unions and their poodles say school choice siphons money from public schools. But federal money funds the district's program, so killing it denies education money to the district while increasing the number of pupils the district must su...

• Liberal Justices Would 'Cure' Racism with Racism

Since the Supreme Court put a halt to the involuntary racial integration of public schools in two major cities, the skies, remarkably, have not fallen. On their own authority, local school boards in both cities had imposed measures to bring about a degree of measured racial integration in some of their elementary and secondary schools. If an oversubscribed school is not within 10 percentage points of me district's overall white/nonwhite racial balance, it is what the district calls 'integration positive,' and the district employs a tiebreaker that selects for assignment students whose race 'will serve to bring the school into balance.'" For a small but still substantial number of pupils in both cities, said the chief justice, "race is determinative standing alone.

• Education Commitment

Education funding can be measured in many different ways. One of the most popular among teachers and educators is to divide the amount spent by the number of pupils. By that measure, child-rich Utah virtually always finishes last in the nation. The rest of the taxpayers, however, may be just as interested in seeing how much they pay for education as measured by every $1,000 of income they earn. By this measure, it has historically been clear that Utahns pay a good share of their income to schools. In some years, this share has led the nation.
