I recently visited Inge Esping at McPherson Middle School in Kansas to report on a new tech backlash spreading in education: Chromebook remorse. McPherson is at the forefront of schools that once provided the Google-powered laptops to each child to freely use at school and at home -- and are now moving to more limited, more "purposeful" student device use. “This technology can be a tool," says Esping, Kansas' Middle School Principal of the Year.

This is the worst spring for college graduates since the depths of the Covid pandemic. Their diminished job prospects are colliding with questions over whether A.I. is destroying the kinds of roles they have long sought. https://nyti.ms/4sPueHr

A quarter of the world’s oil supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed following the U.S. and Israeli attack in February. For U.S. drivers, that closure has led to rapid increases in gas prices.

A record number of student loan borrowers have fallen far behind on their federal payments, another pressure point among millions of increasingly stretched American consumers. The problem is likely to grow.

From The New York Times Opinion Section: For its latest focus group, Times Opinion spoke with 12 Gen Z white collar job seekers. “Rough,” “dry,” and “a scam” were just a few of the words our participants used to describe their experience of the job market thus far.
