Percentages of White High School Students Decline in Silicon Valley FREMONT, Calif. – Aside from the hurried footsteps of a straggling student (he has a good excuse), all is silent at Mission San Jose High School. There's nary a trace of the habitual truant, or the hubbub of students with a free period. With its air of discipline and studious focus, it's not hard to believe that this school, like many others in Silicon Valley, is one of the best in the state....

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner New Komeito passed the so-called reform in the parliamentary upper house on December 15....

Activist Clarity Through Law School Applications Applying to law school is not for the weak of heart...I find myself laboring through the applications' hard questions. These are big "life" questions, and trying to answer them, really does take one on a sort of inner spiritual journey. At this point, I would even recommend just trying to complete a law school application, for your own spiritual clarity, if you are an activist!

Britain: Poorer student numbers fall as tuition fees are hiked up The number of undergraduates applying to enrol in university courses in England this year fell by 15,000 compared with 2005.
