Federal spending on children projected to drop substantially over next decade |
|
Federal spending on children will drop about a quarter within a decade, as appropriations for the elderly and rising interest payments on a soaring national debt will squeeze spending on America’s youth, the Urban Institute projected in a report issued Tuesday. This will happen even though the proportion of children living in poverty is double that of senior citizens: 18 percent to 9 percent. |

UC students cheer an expected $60 tuition drop |
|
University of California students already celebrated a tuition freeze announced last month for the 2018-19 school year. Now they are anticipating something else to cheer: a rare $60 reduction. The UC regents on Thursday are expected to approve a budget plan finally ending a $60 annual surcharge that began 11 years ago and paid the costs of legal cases the university lost. As a result, the price of tuition and systemwide mandatory fees are expected to drop from $12,630 to $12,570, not including room, board, books and other expenses. |

And the amount of time kids spend with screens only increases as they get older. On average, 13- to 18-year-olds spend about nine hours a day on entertainment media, much of which is on tablets and smart phones. |
