Inglewood’s program had been chain-sawed by financial challenges and the pandemic, but Joseph Jauregui built it back up – and his students are winning scholarshipsJoan Rosas says educators as early as kindergarten flat-out told him he wasn’t capable. “I got horrible grades,” he said. “I could barely read until eighth grade when I figured out how to teach myself.”The Inglewood high school sophomore says he received little meaningful support for his learning challenges and, under the circumstances, grew to dislike school. Eventually, he started acting out, trying things like smoking. Continue reading...

3 w. ago Disillusionomics: the US economy isn’t serving gen Z | Alice Lassman

My generation is struggling for stability in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose. It’s time to take that seriouslyFor gen Z Americans, it’s hard to remember a version of the economy not defined by crisis. We finished our education online as Covid devastated the world, only to graduate into high costs of living, stagnant wages and now AI’s threat to entry-level jobs. We’ve come of age in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose.The result is a generation that’s lost faith in the traditional markers of stability. What once defined a secure life – home, family and comfortable retirement – feels out of reach. “A pension is out of the question,” one friend told me. “So staying in the same job no longer makes sense.” She’s not alone: jobseekers’ confidence in keeping or finding work dropped sharply this spring, with a survey in June suggesting nearly 60% of graduates were still looking for their first jobs.Alice Lassman is a policy expert with a focus on the global economy ...

3 w. ago Mr Blake at Your Service review – John Malkovich does worst French accent ever in baffling comedy misfire

Gilles Legardinie’s broad dramedy set in a chateau, co-starring Fanny Ardant and Émilie Dequenne, is an ordeal to watch. Sacré bleu! This truly bizarre film has a substantial reserve of goodwill to draw on: among its blue-chip cast are John Malkovich and Fanny Ardant, and it’s also the final film of the Belgian star Émilie Dequenne, famous for winning the best actress award at Cannes for her nonprofessional debut in Rosetta in 1999, who sadly died of cancer in March at the age of 43. It is a broad and baffling dramedy, directed by the bestselling French author Gilles Legardinier, and adapted from his 2012 novel Complètement Cramé! (Completely Burnt Out!).Malkovich plays a wealthy grieving widower called Andrew Blake, supposedly from England, who, to ease his broken heart, takes a job as a butler in a French chateau whose owner (Ardant) has fallen on hard times. It is a sentimental journey for him, as many years ago he first met his French wife, Diane, in the chateau’s sumptuous grou...
