Family income is now a better predictor of children’s success in school than race.
Miklos Szilagyi's insight:
Children from rich family perform better than those from poor family... No surprize (writes The New York Times)... The interesting point is how this changed from 1960 to 2010. There has been an increase of 40% in the (already existing) disparity... that's already news... another point from the article: in 1960 the difference was mainly between the children's performance of mid- end higher-income family and that of the poorest families. Now, the difference between performance re the highest income family children and those of mid-income family is as high as the difference between the children's performance of mid-range income family and that of the lowest-range income family... one more point: the richess of the family is the determining factor, no race or other factors are playing a significant role...

Hamish McKenzie, on PandoDaily, paints a possible future for "an end-to-end reader experience that centralizes, simplifies, and at the same time diversifies the consumption of longform journalism, while offering deep social features that increase readership and bring magazines up to speed with the digital era." From the original article: "The first problem is that there is an app for each magazine. To subscribe to the New Yorker, Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, The Atlantic, Details, New York, and Time, you’ve got to have seven different apps, many of which are bloated. Some issues of Wired, for example, have weighed in at 500MB each. And what do you get inside? Aside from the occasional animation, or supplementary audio and video, they’re basically just digital facsimiles of the paper product. Worse – you can only get the stories if you get the whole magazine. So here’s an idea for how to do it better and make money from it. Break up the bundle. Present stories on an individual basis. Do to the magazine what iTunes did to the album, but do it with a Spotify model. And put it all into one app. In short: build a platform not for magazines, but for magazine stories. Here’s how it works. You have an app called something like Mag Reader. When you open Mag Reader, it shows you a list of the latest works from your favorite publications, as well as ones that align with your interests, or the stories currently most talked about on social media." Unbundling content is very likely the way of the future. Vauable analysis. Interesting vision. 7/10 Full article: http://pandodaily.com/2012/03/26/the-future-of-magazines-should-look-a-lot-like-spotify/
