<p>Thoughtful piece in this morning's Times:</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing that - I’ve sent the link to my freshman, but it’s 50-50 whether he’ll read it!</p>
<p>LOL, cpeltz. I did the same thing. I think it’s better than 50-50 mine will read it, but far, far less than 50-50 that he’ll let me know he read it.</p>
<p>Excellent article, re-enforces personal view that admissions should be given back to the professors.</p>
<p>Mine isn’t at college yet, so I will INSIST that she read these articles. They are only 1 page each at most and I thought that the insights were excellent! Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>I did the same; we’re looking at 75-25 here that he won’t all the while saying, “why does she think i have time?”</p>
<p>I really liked the advice about reading a newspaper every day.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what date and what section of the print copy of the NY Times this is in? I’m a print subscriber and flipped through Sunday’s paper looking for this, but didn’t find it. </p>
<p>I figure the best odds of getting my S to see it is leaving the newspaper open to the article sitting on the kitchen table. (This method has proven to work well in the past…)</p>
<p>It says “published Sept 5”</p>
<p>sacchi - back page of the Week in Review. </p>
<p>I’m going to send the hard copy to D (college first-year) - I think she’ll be more likely to read it that way.</p>
<p>Found it. Thanks. Now we’ll just have to see if the leaving-it-on-the-kitchen-table plan works.</p>
