“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

I’ve been wondering about the reading problem lately. When I was in school, we were expected to read class novels on our own and be ready to discuss when we got to the classroom. When did this change to novels being read in class because otherwise “students won’t read them?”
“At some point over the past 15 years, kids stopped reading”—but that’s because not enough teachers are asking them to, Walt Hunter writes:
C’mon, Professors, Assign the Hard Reading
College kids aren’t reading novels—but that’s because not enough teachers are asking them to.

Instead of firing 300 journalists, the Washington Post should fire the executives who approved the endorsement of Bondi. In the meantime, if you want to support the pro-democracy outlet that understood the threat from the start, subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Exactly!
The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.
