Mexican teachers union, government face off over arrests Posted: 13 Jun 2016 04:41 PM PDT MEXICO CITY (AP) — A radical Mexican teachers union called on its rank-and-file and supporters to revolt Monday against the government after its top leaders were arrested.

Teens who vape more likely to try regular cigarettes, study says Posted: 13 Jun 2016 07:12 AM PDT E-cigarettes, which vaporize a flavored fluid that typically includes nicotine, are advertised as a way for smokers to wean themselves off regular cigarettes. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that out of 300 southern California high school students surveyed in 2014, approximately half reported having tried an e-cigarette at least once.

"Out-of-students pay roughly $15,000 more in tuition, and that's a lot of extra money per year that these colleges can use to finance their programs," says Victoria Tillson Evans, founder of Bethesda, Maryland-based Distinctive College Consulting, who advises high school students on the college admissions process. College advisers say the swelling applicant pool coupled with the push to increase tuition revenue increases competition at some state schools -- especially for in-state students.

The Department of Education announced last month that 44 colleges and universities will participate in an experimental program that will allow high school students to use Pell Grants -- a form of financial aid -- to help pay for dual enrollment courses. Generally speaking, teens earn both high school and college credit when participating in dual credit programs, say Elisabeth Barnett, an expert on dual enrollment at Teachers College, Columbia University.
