☆ New SAT Data Highlights the Deep Inequality at the Heart of American Education
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Claire Cain Miller | Francesca Paris | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +13 min
When we account for how few poor students take the test, by looking at all students, a new and greater disparity emerges. It’s a reflection of an inequality in American education that starts long before high school. New SAT Data Highlights the Deep Inequality at the Heart of American EducationNew data shows, for the first time at this level of detail, how much students’ standardized test scores rise with their parents' incomes — and how disparities start years before students sit for tests. And in the last five decades, as the country has become more unequal by income, the gap in children’s academic achievement, as measured by test scores throughout schooling, has widened. Parenting in places with less income inequality and more public investment in families is more playful and relaxed, research shows.

☆ Tech Industry Made Americans Lonelier, Now It Has to Help Connect Us

A company that prioritizes product-market fit can build a great, customer-focused business. The venture capitalist Marc Andreessen has said that for startups, product-market fit is "the only thing that matters." I appreciate Marc's wisdom: Great product-market fit produces a sugar high. And that goal is well aligned with the broader social goal of making people less lonely. Over time, it became apparent that this was not a great social fit.

☆ How your drive to work could be the one big thing harming your sleep, fueling depression, and wasting your time and money

The longer workers spent in their cars and the more money they spent on commuting, the less happy they were. But longer and more expensive car commutes are also hurting our mental health. A new study conducted by researchers in Spain found that the more time and money people spent driving to work, the worse mental health outcomes they experienced. Similarly, the more money they spent on commuting, the more sleep loss and depression they experienced. Those who took public transit, walked, or biked to work spent significantly less time and money commuting.

☆ Opinion | Religion Creates Community. We’re Losing That.

If you get off that track (or never started on it), the U.S. is a more difficult place in which to thrive. What’s more, they write:Modern American churches are financially incentivized to target the wealthy and create a space where those on track feel comfortable. Not because I think people need to be religious to live good lives — I don’t believe that — but because almost everyone needs community to flourish. As the Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, whom I spoke to for this series and who wrote “Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community,” has been preaching for decades, increasing social isolation is bad for all of us. At the same time, examples of that kind of grace don’t erase the damage that is sometimes done in the name of religion.
