After the #UCSD group delivered a paper on the #MonaLisa results at a recent conservation-related conference, a leading conservation scientist expressed strong misgivings about image processing in art. She concluded: "And, further, you'll never convince me that #LeonardoDaVinci painted those trees in the background blue."

The decline in scores becomes even more frightening when we consider the uneven distribution of the quality of education in the U.S.
Minority, poor, and rural in dividuals receive poorer educations than do students from affluent areas. In most states, school districts in wealthy areas spend far more per student than poorer districts.
This inequality of opportunity is more likely to be a problem in the U.S. than elsewhere, given local control of school budgets, but it is a worldwide problem.
Children may be created equal, but the educational system quickly changes that.
We seem to be moving back to a time when education was the privilege of only a few. (a b) #Anno1987 #ByteMagazine
