Can Infosys Keep Workers With Hefty Raises?
Infosys Technologies announced wage hikes as high as 17% when it reported earnings this week. Is that enough to keep it from losing workers?
The Bangalore software bellwether saw 3,500 employees leave last quarter, and its competitors, including IBM, Accenture, Wipro, HCL and Cognizant, are a constant temptation just as orders are expected to surge. Infosys "freshers," or entry-level workers, earn about 325,000 rupees ($7,300) a year.
During its earnings press conference, Infosys executives said the raises are in response to an exploding job market in India. "We have given a large wage increase to people in the middle and junior levels to make sure that we have a competitive structure," said T.V. Mohandas Pai, Infosys's human resources director.
Analysts, however, called the hikes a form of damage control, following an unpopular HR initiative called Infosys Role and Career Enhancement, or iRACE.

The public-private partnership is aimed at increasing the height of the Howard St. Tunnel so two containers can be loaded onto intermodal cars, making it more efficient for traffic moving to and from the Port of Baltimore.
Trucking and intermodal carrier Swift Transportation grew net income 4.7 percent year-over-year to $38 million in third quarter 2016 on revenues that slipped 4.9 percent to $1.01 billion compared with the same 2015 period.
RoadOne IntermodaLogistics said it has acquired Milford, Conn.-based C & V Transportation in an effort to expand its operations in southern New England and the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The association has called on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to promulgate rules that require importers of low value goods to bear the same data requirements as shippers of goods over the de minimis level.
The pilot was involved in an accident in Gravesend Reach while boarding the general cargo ship Sunmi and emergency responders were unable to save his life, the Port of London Authority said in a statement.
Notifying importers of their final duty calculations on entries would be handled online rather than by mail or checking paper documents at the Customs house under a proposed regulatory change from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Study history, lots of people turn out to be bad investments.
My 32 year old has a $80,000 college degree, was a national college debate champion 3 times and won't get off of her dead butt to get a job. Talk about a return on investment.
Don't worry, dad, the government will bail you out for that bad investment.
He's too frail to fail!
See the lamp on the right of the Dad? That looks like a Holtkotter floor lamp. it is a great brand. I have several. You cant go wrong with this great product.
Before I retired a few years back, I sold many of them for $400-$1000 in a family owned upscale lighting store in suburban DC. A story for another day.
Or as I said to the customer, der Holtkotter ist hanfabrikin in der swartzenwald auf der walden spriten.
Or in my poor German, I said that they were hand made in Germany by the wood fairies. That's is why there were so expensive.
Wood fairies are scarce these days, they are being outsourced somewhere else.
Ya, ya, das ist richtig, I told you that my German was poor.

Ricardo Semler thinks that companies ought to put employee freedom and satisfaction ahead of corporate goals.
Imagine a company where employees set their own hours; where there are no offices, no job titles, no business plans; where employees get to endorse or veto any new venture; where kids are encouraged to run the halls; and where the CEO lets other people make nearly all the decisions. This company—Semco—actually exists, and despite a seeming recipe for chaos, its revenues have grown from $35 million to $160 million in the last six years. It has virtually no staff turnover, and there are no signs that its growth will stop any time soon.
How did Semco become wildly successful despite breaking many of the commonly accepted laws of business? In The Seven-Day Weekend, Ricardo Semler shows that for those willing to take a chance, there is a better way to run a workplace. He explains how the technology that was supposed to make life easier—laptops, cell phones, e-mail, pagers—has in fact stolen free time and destroyed the traditional nine-to-five workday. But this can be a good thing—if you have the freedom to get your job done on your own terms and to blend your work life and personal life with enthusiasm and creative energy. Smart bosses will eventually realize that you might be most productive if you work on Sunday afternoon, play golf on Monday morning, go to a movie on Tuesday afternoon, and watch your child play soccer on Thursday.
This is a radical book that will challenge the business world to make the seven-day weekend a reality.

It was the worst place I ever say that I feel like I got robbed of my money roaches the door would not shut all the way
Trash hotel. First room I checked in was dirty and hadn't been cleaned. Had to change rooms. New room had a smell and the water didn't get hot. My sister and I both having bumping in our face from either the bed sheet or pillow cases. I'll stayed at better motel 6's
It was nice. No problems.
Very dirty
This was an okay room for the price. I have stayed in worse and better for the same value. The desk attendant did not seem knowledgeable about policies pertaining to hotel booking apps. It took over 30 minutes of waiting and phone calls to finally get checked in. The room was okay, but definitely use some TLC.

" Four years ago I was having knee, leg and foot pain and decided to spend more $$ than I usuallly do and try the Orthaheel brand. I bought a pair of womens Tide sandals in plum and cranberry. I have never worn any other sandal/flip flop since!! they are amazing, I could walk 100 miles in them!
I love how Footwear etc. carries so many great brands to choose from, they are always very helpful.
I went yesterday to Footwear etc. in Ranco Bernardo CA to look for another pair of Orthaheel sandals; needed something a little more dressy. Thanks to the help of Ashley I tried on the Carla II bronze metallic sandal (not my first choice) but she said try them you will like them. Yup I love them, they look great with dresses or shorts and have the same fantastic comfort I'm use to in the Orthaheel brand."

At Finishing Touch, we understand that nothing beats the charm of having a pleasing personality. However, maintaining a desirable personality can be a daunting task, especially for people who face baldness, receding hairlines or any other hair loss related problems.
hair loss is a
much-prevalent condition that can affect both men and women. Factors
initiating hair loss may range from excessive chemical exposure, medical
conditions, emotional trauma, stress, lack of a nutritious &
well-balanced diet to an unhealthy lifestyle. In modern times, we all
fall prey to one or more of these factors that eventually contributes
towards hair damage and loss. The worst thing is that hair loss apart
from being a physical condition can also strip away our confidence, thus
causing emotional distress and depression. This further aggravates the
condition and makes the entire process more or less a vicious cycle.

Wonderful property
I would definitely recommend Harbourside House.
About the Owner
I am from London but have lived overseas and now live in Kent.
Life can be hectic and I travel a lot so it is always so nice to go to Harbourside House and relax with family and friends. There are fabulous walks, great pubs, stunning beaches to soothe and nourish the soul. I never want to leave but when I do I always feel relaxed and calm.
Guestbook comments from the owner
"What can I say! Breathtaking views and sumptuous sunsets married with incredible comfort and outstanding luxury. We really didn't want to leave. My girlfriend shed a tear. We will be back! "

Wonderful property
We had a lovely stay in this charming house which was well equipped with all you may need. The house had been beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and stunning decorations which was a lovely surprise.
I would definitely recommend Harbourside House.
From the Owner
"From the moment I got out of the car and filled my lungs with fresh Atlantic air and smelt the ozone coming off the sea I knew this was the place for me. It's a house where you can truly relax and recuperate. Listen to the lapping waves and witness the most amazing sunsets! I love the fact that it is secluded and peaceful and the surroundings are so beautiful but yet it is a stones throw away from the city of Plymouth. It is so versatile as I can go for walks nearby through forests,fields or by the coast or driving a short distance to picturesque fishing villages, soft, sandy beaches and cliff top roads as well as cosy pubs and fabulous restaurants."

"Harbourside House is so versatile as you can go for walks nearby through forests,fields or by the coast or driving a short distance to picturesque fishing villages, soft, sandy beaches and cliff top roads as well as cozy pubs and fabulous restaurants. I can't think of a better place to chill. Built in the 18th century this historic cottage has character and soul and is steeped in history. With possible links to Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton to John Rudyard who built the wooden Eddystone lighthouse to the current Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. The house evokes images of bygone days and romantic liaisons and you can imagine yourself being transported to those times. If only walls could talk!"

Say It With Middle Fingers
Dear flower-delivery guy: Sorry I was trying to merge onto the highway early Sunday morning. I guess it warranted you practically running me off the empty freeway. I probably deserved the middle finger and smug-ass smile you sent my way as well. Just one thing: Maybe you forgot your company's phone number was on the side of the minivan you were rollin' in? The lady who answered my call at the shop didn't seem that stoked about your behavior. In fact, she said she was going to fire your ass. Perhaps next time you want to be a tough guy and drive like an asshole, you should make sure you don't have a direct line to your boss in 12-inch letters on your vehicle.

The Oregon State Beavers didn't sign an offensive lineman in the class of 2016, as the program was full at the position group.
However, that should change during the 2017 recruiting cycle, as the Beavers not only have a need, but also several talented offensive linemen in their own backyard.
Jesuit's Jaxson Kirkland, Central Catholic's Travis Mackay and Sheldon's Cody Shear are a few examples, as is West Linn offensive lineman Alex Forsyth.
>>> Oregon HS football: Class of 2017 top 10 prospects
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound mauler, who projects as a guard at the next level, is taking a trip to Corvallis on Saturday for an unofficial visit.
"I just started talking to coach T.J. Woods and he liked my film and wanted to get me down there for a visit with my mom," Forsyth said. "All the coaches followed me on Twitter. It would mean a lot to get my first Pac-12 offer."
The West Linn standout will arrive for a day trip Saturday and already has a rough outline for the schedule.
"The plan is to tour the facility, meet with the coaches, have lunch down there and they want to show me the gear," he said. "That's what they've set up for me."
A tackle in high school, Forsyth projects as an offensive guard at the college level.
"Coaches have talked to my coach about that. They see me as more of a guard. I can play tackle, but I'm projected as a guard," he said. "I haven't heard directly from coaches, but I used to play guard, so I'd be comfortable with the transition."
Forsyth, who said he is focusing on improving his first few steps off the ball and his punch strength at the line, already has offers from Colorado State, Hawaii and San Diego State, but is hoping something develops over the next few months.
"I want to experience the recruiting process and feel out my options," Forsyth said.

Teachers spend hundreds out-of-pocket on students
PHOENIX — The new school year is underway and that means hard work for the students and faculty, but it also means a lot of out-of-pocket expenses for teachers.
For teachers such as Julianne Jennings, a seventh grade instructor at Abraham Lincoln Traditional School near 39th and Peoria avenues, the start of the year has already brought between $500 and $700 in expenses.
She said that is an expensive way to begin the year but that spending her own money on students is simply a reality of being a teacher.
"We need to have a working society and someone has to step up and say, 'Hey, someone needs to be here,'" she said. "There are a lot of great teachers that leave the education field because they can't sustain a family, because they have to be on food stamps, because they decided to have kids."
According to the National Education Association, the average national starting salary for teachers was $36,141, while in Arizona that number was just over $31,600.
Adding hundreds of dollars in expenses every school year on top of their salary can place extra stress on teachers, according to first grade instructor Vicki Reddick, a single mother.
Reddick also teaches at Abraham Lincoln Traditional School and said she'll make dozens of trips to dollar stores this year to buy supplies, such as folders and glue sticks, for her students.
However, she said it's not just supplies that teachers often pay for.
"I go out and buy a bunch of stickers and each kid gets stickers, but those stickers are from my pocket," Reddick said. "I have to refill my treasure chest, which the kids work for various things and they get stuff out of the chest."
Reddick also said she pays for books toward her classroom library and most of the decorations in her classroom.
Compared to many schools in Arizona and across the country, Abraham Lincoln Traditional School is unique in that the school's parent-teacher organization, known as the Guild, offers some reimbursement for their teacher's expenses.
"We allow them $150 in start-up requests," said Chris Learned, president of the Guild. "They submit receipts and a form and we'll go ahead and cut them a check for the reimbursement of those expenses."
Even though the total for reimbursement was raised $50 this school year, for many of the teachers at Abraham Lincoln Traditional School, it's still not enough.
Reddick said while prize boxes, colorful calendars and classroom decorations might seem secondary, they are essential in getting kids interested and excited about school.
"That's what a good teacher does," she said. "You also need to have a classroom that is stimulating to your students. If you didn't have the posters or the color in your room, it's not stimulating for a first grader to come to class."

Manic development is changing Lantau, but the island is still known as the "lungs of Hong Kong" because of the abundant forests, relative dearth of skyscrapers, and laid-back attractions—beaches, fishing villages, and hiking trails. At Ngong Ping, a mini-theme park sits at the base of the island's most famous sight, the Tian Tan Buddha. Hong Kong Disneyland sits on the northeast coast, near the airport. At 147 square km (57 square miles), Lantau is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island, so there's room for all this development, and the island remains a welcome green getaway.

A must see, a little redundant but still very enjoyablesome themes of this anime are a little repetitive with other anime, stories and fanfiction but that does not take away from the cuteness and overall enjoyability. i got a bit teary eyed as well as a little annoyed with reoccuring themes, characters were like ive seen before but for some reason i still liked this show. 5 stars

I KNEW something was missing at the last episodeI binged this anime hard all day, my brother and I almost cried at a certain scene that I'm sure everyone has actually cried at.

Strong in every way!Kokoro Connect is a slice of life anime which explores youth. Fear, romance, friendship, identity and so on are all paths the characters are taken on. Fantastical, impossible and yet extremely down to Earth, this anime is everything I want in a slice of life rom/com/dram!
Kind of funky but uniquely satisfying.As my title suggests, this anime is a funky one. It deals with growing up mostly, but there's also body swapping, uncontrolled impulses, and random shrink spurts as opposed to growth spurts. The characters are solid and kind of real-to-life in a refreshing sort of way. I enjoyed the coming of age side of this story as much as the super natural side of it. A very fun ride that I would happily ...Read more
My life changed because of this animei finished this anime and i started to cry i was so sad that i had finished it that i keep re watching and re watching over and over again its addictive,maybe because i can relate to Inaba i dont know why but it changes your life it makes you happy and want to go on well in my oppinion is does but its the best thing i have ever watched
Kokoro Connect Anime ReviewThis anime has become one of my most favourite animated series of all time. It has a very interesting and engaging storyline as well as a well developed cast to boot.

Advanced Placement Exams: The Achievement Gap in Boston (Part III of III)
In this third and final blog on the AP, I'll cover the AP exam participation and performance gap in Boston and our ongoing work at Match to close that gap. I am struck – and have always been struck – by how little debate is devoted to the glaring race- and income-based achievement gaps that characterize the AP in our city. It's a topic worth talking about.
The Exam High School versus Non-exam High School Gap on the AP in Boston
The table below shows the number of upperclassmen in Boston's high schools who took at least one AP exam in 2015, and it shows the number of AP exams that resulted in a passing score of 3 or higher.
I split out Boston's high schools between exam high schools and open-enrollment high schools. Boston has three exam high schools that admit students based in large part on an academic entrance exam.
Notice that Boston's open-enrollment (non-exam) high schools account for about three-quarters of Boston's high school students, but account for only 11% of exams (282 exams total) with a passing grade.
|AP Exam Participation and Performance in Boston High Schools (2014-15)
|Total # of 11th & 12th Graders
|Total # of AP Exam Test Takers
|Total # of AP Exams Passed
|BPS Exam High Schools
|BPS Open-Enrollment High Schools
|All BPS High Schools
The table below tells the same story with different data. It lists the participation and pass rates on AP exams for all Boston's exam high schools and Boston's open-enrollment high schools.
|AP Exam Participation and Performance in Boston High Schools (2014-15)
|Participation Rate (# of Unique AP Exam Takers/# of 11th and 12th Grade Students)
|Passing Rate (% of AP Exams Taken that Resulted in a Passing Grade of 3+)
|BPS Exam High Schools
|BPS Open Enrollment High Schools
|All BPS High Schools
In short, AP success in Boston is concentrated heavily in our city's three exam high schools. A relatively small number of students in our city's open-enrollment high schools take or pass AP exams.
The Race and Income Gap on the AP in Boston
Household income strongly predicts performance on AP exams in Boston. Forty-three percent of BPS high school students are economically disadvantaged, meaning they qualify for food stamps, Medicaid, or certain other public subsidies. These students take AP exams at less than half the rate of their wealthier peers. And when they do take AP exams, they pass at a substantially lower rate. Here is the data:
|AP Exam Participation and Performance in Boston Public High Schools by Income (2014-2015)
|% of BPS High School Students
|% of All BPS AP Exams Taken By the Subgroup
|Pass Rate (AP Exams Passed/AP Exams Taken)
|Economically Disadvantaged Students
|All Other Students
Now consider the statistics when sorted by race. Per the table below, African-American and Latino students account for 38% and 34% of BPS high school students, respectively, but they account for a smaller percentage of tests taken or passed.
|AP Exam Participation and Performance in Boston Public Schools by Race (2014-2015)
|% of BPS Students
|% of All BPS AP Exams Taken By the Subgroup
|Subgroup Pass Rate (AP Exams Passed/AP Exams Taken)
The Challenge Ahead and Match's Work to Date
Currently in the US, approximately 10% of students from low-income backgrounds and 4% of African-American students graduate high school having passed at least one AP exam.
In Massachusetts high schools, the statistics are similar. Approximately 13% of high school graduates from low-income backgrounds and 3% of African-American high school graduates in Massachusetts have passed at least one AP exam.
Our schools – nationwide and in Massachusetts – are simply failing to prepare students of color and students from low income-backgrounds for the AP exam.
At Match, we have been chiseling away at the AP participation and performance gap for the last 15 years, and we will stay at it, I predict, for another decade or two.
Our ambition is to create a PreK-12 school in which 90% of our student body – a student body that is similar to the student body in Boston's open-enrollment schools – take and pass at least one AP exam by the time they graduate. It won't happen overnight. Our AP job will be made easier over time because we now enroll most of our students in early elementary school (our school is now PreK-12). When we started 15 years ago, we enrolled students in 9th grade and only operated a high school, so we had far less time with our students than we do now to get them to AP-level work.
On the road to our ultimate AP destination, here is where we stand now.
|AP Participation rate (# of Unique Exam Takers / # of 11th and 12th grade students)
|AP Pass Rate (# Exams Passed/# Exams Taken)
|All BPS High Schools
|BPS Open-Enrollment High Schools
|BPS Exam High Schools
|Boston Commonwealth Charter High Schools
|Match Charter Public High School
To the data in the table above, I can add a few more statistics from our high school:
- Over the past three years, 72% of our juniors and seniors have taken at least one AP exam each year.
- Over the last three years, 57% of our high school graduates have passed at least one AP exam during their high school career.
- Over the last three years, 80% of our AP calculus exams resulted in a passing grade, and 50% of our high school graduates took AP calculus.
We have a long way to go before achieving our aspiration of a high school where 90% of our graduates take and pass an AP exam. The work is hard and we are humble, as ever, about finding new ways to help our students reach the AP bar. But we have made progress, and we believe that our students can and should master the AP with very few exceptions.
As we labor on at Match High School towards our AP goals, we hope that others will stand behind the AP as a good exam, design their schools to meet its demands, and decry the low rates at which students of color and students from low-income backgrounds take and pass these exams.
A Note on Sources: With two exceptions, the data in this blog series comes from the College Board (particularly the 2015 National Summary of AP Performance and the 10th Annual AP Report to the Nation) and statewide reports from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, particularly the report on AP participation and AP performance. Statistics on the percentage of students attending schools with an AP program came from AP at Scale, published by the American Enterprise Institute. Statistics on the performance of Match students came from an internal Match report. Thanks also to Mass Insight for the input they offered on this blog and for their work with Match and others in Massachusetts to drive AP quality in high school.
Advanced Placement Exams: The National Achievement Gap (Part II of III)
In Part I of this blog series, I reviewed AP exams and why we like them at Match.
In Part II of this series, I will cover the hard truth that most American high school students never take or pass an AP exam, and AP exam participation and performance varies alarmingly by race and income.
The AP Participation Gap
Few high school students take an AP course or exam. In 2013, just 32% of graduating high school seniors had taken at least one AP exam. AP participation rates are even lower among students of color and among students from low-income backgrounds.
Per the table below, only 19% of graduating seniors from low-income backgrounds have taken an AP exam. The analogous statistic among graduating seniors from middle class or wealthy backgrounds is 45%.
|Percentage of 2013 High School Graduates Who Took At Least 1 AP Exam
|Low-income graduates
|Non low-income graduates
|All graduates
The rates at which students take AP exams also vary strongly by race. For example, African-American students account for 15% of high school students in the US but only 7% of AP tests taken.
|2015 AP Exam Participation by Race
|% of High school graduates
|% of all AP exams taken
The low AP participation rate among African-American students is not because they attend schools without AP courses. In fact, African-American students attend schools with normal levels of AP programs. They are simply systematically excluded from these courses. Here is the data:
|% of Students Attending Schools Offering 1 or More AP Courses (2012)
|All students
The Performance Gap
Students from low-income backgrounds and African-American students not only take AP tests at lower rates, they also fare poorly on the tests when they do take them.
First consider AP performance among students from low-income backgrounds. Among high school students who took at least one AP exam in 2013, low-income students were far less likely to pass a test. Here is the data:
|Percentage of 2013 AP Exam Test Takers Who Passed At Least 1 AP Exam
|Low-income students
|All other students
Low participation rates and low pass rates among low-income students combine to create a situation where a middle- or upper-income student is three times more likely to pass an AP exam than a low-income student. In all, just 10% of low-income students who graduate high school pass at least one AP exam.
Now consider success rates on the AP by race. Again, African-American students lag behind by an alarming degree. The chart below shows pass rates in 2015 on the AP by racial group. White and Asian-American students are not only more than twice as likely as African-American students to take an AP exam, but they are also twice as likely to pass the AP exams they take.
Low participation and pass rates among African-American students are such that African-American high school students, while 15% of the overall student population, account for only 4% of students who pass at least one AP exam in high school.
|2015 AP Exam Pass Rate by Race
In Part III of this blog series on the AP, I will cover the scene here in Boston (hint: the AP participation and performance gaps by race and income are enormous in our city) and our ongoing work at Match to close those gaps.
A Note on Sources: With two exceptions, the data in this blog series comes from the College Board (particularly the 2015 National Summary of AP Performance and the 10th Annual AP Report to the Nation) and statewide reports from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, particularly the report on AP participation and AP performance. Statistics on the percentage of students attending schools with an AP program came from AP at Scale, published by the American Enterprise Institute. Statistics on the performance of Match students came from an internal Match report.
Advanced Placement Exams: The Test Itself (Part I of III)
Students across the country – including students at Match High School – took this year's Advanced Placement (AP) examinations in May. We value AP courses at Match and work hard, from kindergarten through high school, to prepare our students to do well.
I sat down to capture our thoughts on the test and the debate that surrounds it. This is Part I of a three-part blog series about AP exams. This first blog provides an overview of AP exams and explains why we like them. My aim is to give you a concrete view of the test and of the content and skill mastery that it demands of students.
Part II covers the large differences – by income and by race – in the rate at which students take and pass the test. Regrettably, millions of high school students – often low-income, students of color – attend schools that fail to prepare them for AP exams.
Part III covers the race- and income-based gaps in AP exam participation and performance in Boston. In this blog, I will also comment on where we stand at Match in trying to close the AP participation and performance gap.
The AP 101: A Tour of the Exam
AP exams are three-hour, subject-specific exams administered by the College Board each May. In 2015, the College Board administered approximately four million AP exams in 36 different subjects.
AP exams cover widely the humanities (history, literature, economics, psychology, art, and foreign languages, etc.) and the sciences and math (calculus, chemistry, biology, physics, statistics, etc.)
In 2015, the five most frequently administered AP exams were English language and composition, United States history, English literature and composition, calculus AB, and government and United States politics.
High school students typically take an AP exam after enrolling in a year-long AP course in 11th or 12th grade. Some schools offer AP courses to 9th and 10th grade students. The full cost to take an AP exam is $92. But through a combination of federal, state, and school subsidies, students from low-income backgrounds can take AP exams at no cost or significantly reduced cost.
All AP exams are scored on a scale of 1-5. According to the College Board, a student who earns a 5 on an AP exam is "extremely well qualified" in that discipline, while a student who earns a 1 on an AP exam earns "no recommendation."
Students can earn college credit and enroll in more advanced classes once in college, based on their AP exam performance in high school. Individual colleges and universities establish their own policies for AP-based early college credit.
The College Board considers a score of 3 or higher as passing, and 50%-60% of AP exams in any given year earn a passing grade of 3 or higher. In 2015, 57% of the more than four million AP exams administered received a passing score.
AP exams consist of multiple choice and free response questions.
Below, I lay out a few questions from different tests. The first two questions are multiple choice questions. The last two questions are free response.
Please read these questions carefully since they will give you a foundational sense of the rigor of the AP exams.
Note: We are including these sample questions in isolation from the remainder of the exam in which they originally appeared. Students would be answering these questions based either on the coursework they completed in the related AP course or based on passages provided in the exam.
Why We Like AP Exams
At Match, we are devout fans of AP exams. We design the academic side of our schools, starting in early elementary school, with the AP standards in mind. We take this approach for three reasons:
1. AP Exams Require Content Mastery
AP exams require mastery of content. They require expertise of our students. Consider the sample AP biology question above. To answer this question correctly, a student needs flat-out mastery of biology content – pancreatic hormones, target cells, and cellular transduction.
Why is content mastery good? Why do we like the AP exam for unapologetically requiring content mastery in its subject matter?
First of all, content mastery matters because it actually matters to careers. Our high school students are, after all, future doctors, engineers, computer scientists, novelists, French teachers, and statisticians. They need to know their material.
Second – and this is counter-intuitive – students (in fact, all human beings) develop higher-order skills most easily when they know material deeply. Baseline knowledge sets that stage for the exercise of analysis, inference, argument, and synthesis. For example, for a student to be a great historian – one who can make claims with evidence, one who can think originally and critically – she needs first to develop an encyclopedic command of history; to immerse herself in history itself. The AP, by demanding content mastery, correctly understands that content knowledge precedes and enables the development and application of higher order skills.
2. AP Exams Require Higher Order Academic Skills
In addition to testing content mastery, the AP simultaneously challenges students to be skillful. The tests – across all subjects – require of students the higher order intellectual skills that matter in college and careers. At every turn, the AP asks students to read complex original texts, interpret seemingly ambiguous data, write precisely, argue with evidence, and so on.
Take the AP US History exam as an example.
This exam includes a Document Based Question (DBQ) in which students are asked to read a prompt, synthesize evidence from historical documents and their own content knowledge, and then write a coherent essay in response to that prompt.
A recent exam included the following prompt:
"Explain the reasons why a new conservatism rose to prominence in the United States between 1960 and 1989."
To answer the prompt, students were given seven documents, including a quotation from Jerry Falwell, an excerpt from a Republican Party platform, and a statistical table tracking the unemployment rate from 1961 to 1988.
To perform well, students needed to function as serious historians. They needed to be able to read and interpret the written texts and charts, construct a convincing argument grounded in evidence, and write a coherent essay. All in 60 minutes.
In all, the AP test – in addition to testing baseline content mastery – also requires students to be skillful scholars.
3. AP Exams prepare kids for – and are likely predictive of – success in college.
Not surprisingly, given how they test both content mastery and academic skills, AP exams are closely correlated with students' success in college. This is the third reason we admire the AP.
The rates at which high school graduates finish college are staggeringly low. Just 58% of high school graduates who enroll in a four-year college graduate within six years. Just 20% of high school graduates who enroll in a two-year college graduate within three years. College success rates among low-income high school graduates are even lower.
Enter the AP exam. When students take an AP exam – better yet, when they pass an AP exam – their trajectories in college improve. And though the evidence isn't causal, the evidence is compelling enough to lead us to think that AP exams, when accompanied with the appropriate amount of student support, are predictive of college success. A 2013 study determined that even when controlling for prior academic achievement, demographic variables and school-level variables, students who took one or more AP exams were more likely to graduate from college in four years than students who hadn't taken any AP exams by 9 percentage points. Students who scored higher on AP exams were even more likely to graduate in four years.
In short, we like AP exams because they make no bones about requiring content mastery, because they demand higher order intellectual and academic skills of students, and because they give students an edge in college.
In the next blog post, I will cover the alarming discrepancies by race and class in how frequently high school students participate in AP classes and pass AP exams.
A Note on Sources: With two exceptions, the data in this blog series comes from the College Board (particularly the 2015 National Summary of AP Performance and the 10th Annual AP Report to the Nation) and statewide reports from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, particularly the report on AP participation and AP performance. Statistics on the percentage of students attending schools with an AP program came from AP at Scale, published by the American Enterprise Institute. Statistics on the performance of Match students came from an internal Match report.
Introducing Big and Small (and other notes on our programming)
Stig Leschly here. I'm the CEO of Match. I have posted on this blog from time to time. This is a short post to let you know about a few changes underway here on the blog.
As long-time readers know, Mike Goldstein, our founder, launched and wrote most of entries on Puzzl_Ed for many years, until he took a new job a few years ago. Since then, Mike has still been posting on Puzzl_Ed, as have I, but the blog has slowed down.
To revive it, I am taking it over week-to-week. I've also given it a new name: "Big and Small: Thoughts from the crossroads of practice and policy in education."
The entries on the blog will remain, as always, succinct, full of substance, and prone to humor. And Mike, who remains close to Match, will still blog from time to time.
Also, all the content from Puzzle_Ed is still here.
In the next several days, we will post the first blogs to the new Big and Small – a three-part series on Advanced Placement exams. If you would prefer not to follow Big and Small, you can choose unsubscribe of course, but I hope you will stick around. And if you like what you're reading, I hope you'll share it.
Many thanks,

Welcome to Our Lady Queen of Peace
Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish has a rich history. Our roots are in older parishes that served the Irish and German people of this area for many years. In 1961 St. Columbkille and St. Philomena merged to form our present parish. We remember our roots by celebrating Mass each year on Memorial Day in the cemetery of St. Philomena and on Labor Day in the cemetery of St. Columbkille.
Due to the generosity of our parishioner, a pavilion has been erected on the sites of both of the parish churches. The work on the Byrnesville site was completed several years ago and a dedication Mass was offered by Bishop Rice. The effort to remember and honor our roots has now been completed with the construction of a similar pavilion at the House Springs site. On Sunday, October 16, Bishop Herman celebrated Mass and dedicated this new pavilion with approximately 50 parishioners in attendance.
Looking back
on the rich history that informs Our Lady Queen of Peace, we are again
asked to move forward as a parish family, to live not in the past, but to
learn from it and move on towards becoming an ever more vibrant and faith
filled parish family.

EDMONTON – The NDP has unveiled an election slogan aimed at reasserting its claim to be the real alternative to Stephen Harper's Conservative government: "Change that's ready."
The slogan is meant to contrast NDP Leader Tom Mulcair's experience and his party's policy depth with what New Democrats see as the empty promises of neophyte Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
It's plastered on the podium at an NDP caucus retreat in Edmonton, where Mulcair is trying to rally his troops for a year of non-stop campaigning ahead of the next scheduled election in October 2015.
Mulcair says Canadians are for the first time looking at the NDP as a government in waiting.
Since vaulting past the Liberals to become the official Opposition in 2011, he says the NDP caucus team has proven it has the leadership and experience to take on Harper and to form government.
However, since Trudeau took the helm of the Liberals 18 months ago, the NDP has sunk back in public opinion polls to its more traditional third-place slot.
