by: Tim Kinoshita. Earlier this month, millions of students nationwide made the life-changing decision to attend college. For these students and their families, enrolling in school is the culmination of years of hard work and determination, and these students have much to celebrate.

Dear David: An Open Letter to The College Board. Dear David: It’s Time You Listened. Mr. Coleman et al – as I pen this letter of frustration, it is the week before the annual two weeks of AP Exams.
