Argument against holding back students who fail. 8th graders who just barely fail & are held back are 58% more likely to be convicted of a violent crime by 25 compared to those who just barely pass and go on to 9th grade, as it hurts adult job prospects nber.org/papers/w25384

More interesting experiment design, I kinda wonder how the employers know the students were held back.

Iโm not on board with the โtraffic enforcement is badโ school of thought.
The solution is to automate it, so enforcement isnโt discriminatory and doesnโt lead to potentially dangerous interactions.

I really really want California to legalize speed cameras, but red light cameras are already legal, why not add tons of them?

Find the right hallway, and you can bring the whole house to a standstill.
Happy it's going down, but look at that spike ๐ฌ
