THAT’S NOT WHAT WE WERE PROMISED: Everyone More Miserable as Fathers Pitch in Around House. “The typical American father spends more than twice as much time doing housework as his dad did in 1965 and logs almost three times more hours on child care. . . . Moms are devoting an average of 21 hours at work, compared with the eight hours their mothers spent. They spend 18 hours on weekly household chores, down from 32 hours in 1965.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: So yesterday I went down to Atlanta and spoke at the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s public affairs dinner, and in the course of conversations about future business models for higher education I had a thought: What if you unbundled the “hotel” functions of a college — classrooms, dorms, student center, etc. — from the teaching function. You could basically have a college without faculty: Get your courses via MOOCs, have a bunch of TA’s and adjuncts to help students with problems, paper-writing, etc., but basically give the students the “college experience” of living together, etc., while getting your teaching from somewhere else. Kind of the Khan Academy’s flipped-classroom model on a larger scale. Not sure if this would work, but it was an interesting thought.
