[UPI] College can be so stressful that many students think about killing themselves, and some even try, a new study suggests.

#11  I bought a math book for my daughter. I was reading the reviews while shopping, the review which sold me went something like, "If you want your child to do word problems and pass Common Core tests get (that book). If you want your child to learn math, get this book."

She may need to know, how many moles of halothene a five pound dog will need for an hour long surgery?

Or we could learn that if Timmy is leaving Chicago on a train traveling 35 mph, why is xe such a bigot for not wanting to live in the city?

#4  Dear Parents,
If you co-sign a student loan, you are still on the hook even if junior offs herself/himself before discharge of the debt. Maybe that college track wasn't a good deal to push rather than working the oil rigs in West Texas or the strip joints nearby. Just saying.
