☆ Federal appeals court issues another blow to Biden’s student loan repayment plan
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-09 | by ( Devan Cole | Katie Lobosco | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

Washington CNN —A federal appeals court delivered on Friday another blow to President Joe Biden’s student loan repayment plan, siding with Republican-led states that asked it to block further implementation of the plan until their challenge to it is resolved. Those borrowers have been placed in an interest-free forbearance during which they are not required to make monthly student loan payments. The high court is already considering a separate request from the administration stemming from another challenge to the plan. SAVE is one of the Biden-Harris administration’s key student loan policies. SAVE was launched soon after the Supreme Court knocked down Biden’s signature, one-time student loan forgiveness program last summer.

☆ I'm not paying for my kids' college tuition unless they want to be doctors or lawyers. Money isn't the issue — the ROI has to be worth it.

I have six children between the ages of 5 and 11, and I've told them I won't pay for college except in very limited circumstances. I'm actively encouraging my kids to consider other options and how much ROI they'll get from college. One of the most interesting responses I've gotten from my kids is asking how they can make money now. Not paying for college might force them to be more financially responsible, but only if they choose — or try — to pay for college themselves. I want them to learn to be financially responsible and viable by earning money, with or without college.

☆ Biden administration's student loan relief plan may be paused for 'months or even a year,' expert says

Alistair Berg | Digitalvision | Getty ImagesThe Biden administration's new affordable repayment plan, known as SAVE, may be on hold for months —or longer — amid a slew of legal challenges. The White House says roughly 8 million people are enrolled in SAVE, or the Saving on a Valuable Education plan. Why the SAVE plan is on holdThe SAVE plan has been a magnet for controversy ever since the Biden administration rolled out the program in the summer of 2023, describing it as "the most affordable student loan plan ever." Indeed, the terms of the new income-driven repayment plan are the most generous to date. However, borrowers pursuing student loan forgiveness should still explore their options, said Elaine Rubin, director of corporate communications at Edvisors, which helps students navigate college costs and borrowing.

☆ In Paris, Breaking Is One of America’s Greatest Cultural Exports - The New York Times

On Friday, breaking makes its Olympics debut at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. This form of dance, created by Black youths in the Bronx in the early 1970s, has traveled far from its birthplace. Support for hip-hop education in the States typically comes from nonprofit organizations, after-school programs and for-profit dance schools. Despite breaking’s American roots, it has never been institutionally supported in public schools as part of a coordinated national policy. The Lycée Turgot, a public high school housed in a majestic 19th-century building, has for the past seven years been home to France’s premier national hip-hop dance program.

However, when we relocated to the UK, as an educator myself, I knew that I wanted an International Baccalaureate (IB) education for all of my children moving forward. Our twins, both now 18, have just completed their final year of the IB program and will attend university. In those middle years at school, children are supposed to be focussing on learning and developing key skills. The IB has prepared my children better for universityWhile my older twins have found the IB challenging, the program has also nurtured their passion for learning, encouraging their intellectual curiosity. This is because an IB school gets students involved in group projects, independent research, and advanced writing assignments throughout their education.
