Last year, 25 hedge fund managers earned more than double every kindergarten teacher combined

2014-05-12T17:49:00.000-07:00

Alpha magazine is out with its annual "rich list" detailing the successes of the highest earning hedge fund managers in America. The news once again is that it's good to be a successful hedge fund manager: the top 25 earned a collective $21.1 billion this year.

Even within that group there's considerable inequality. The top earner, David Tepper, took home $3.5 billion which is about five times as much as either of the two men tied for the tenth slot.

How does that look in context? Well, it's about 0.13 percent of total national income for 2013 being earned by something like 0.00000008 percent of the American population. Another way of looking at it is that this is about 2.5 times the income of every kindergarten teacher in the country combined.

My Samsung Chromebook arrived from Amazon yesterday and after a full 24 hours I can say that my hunches and thoughts over the past 15 months are totally validated. 98.6% of what I (we) do on a laptop device form factor is web based.

$100K to Move On?

2012-01-12T16:00:00.000-08:00

Excellent Column

Would the money keep a good teacher? Would the money entice a teacher to move on?

One more reason to be as interactive with your child's teacher as possible.

Technology in Schools Faces Questions on Value - NYTimes.com

2011-09-04T19:21:00.000-07:00

Why does the question 'How effective is technology in education?' always have test scores as a litmus test?

Look around, technology is everywhere from the local restaurant (OpenTable) to Wall Street (Bloomberg).

The last institution to embrace technology education.

Would you even think of opening an account at a bank without online account access and bill pay? But it is an extra bonus that your school has an online parent portal for grades and attendance?
