"Crossing Over, and Over" was a very interesting and sad look at illegal immigrants lives, particularly those who have been deported. This story presented a point of view that is not usually seen from politicians. There was more a personal look into the lives of typical immigrants, and less a focus on criminals. Yes, this article addressed the issues of crime across the border, but statistics in this article showed that the crime is not as extensive as politicians show it to be.
I found the photograph above this story a very accurate depiction of what this story was trying to show: how immigrants families' lives are affected by the increased rates of deportation to Mexico from the United States. The quote that began this story also expressed how immigrants are determined to return to the US, where their lives are now, even though they are originally from Mexico; many immigrants consider the US their home.
Another story that I found interesting was "Incentives for Advanced Work Let Pupils and Teachers Cash In." This is a program being implemented in my home state, Massachusetts, that I had not heard of before but seems like a successful way to inspire more students to work harder in school.
