  1. On the school of second chances: a Q&A with Mike Rose

    Each spring across America, thousands of students who once lagged behind their peers get accepted to top-notch universities, thanks to what author Mike Rose calls &ldquo;second chance&rdquo; learning. In California alone, 20,000 community college graduates successfully transfer into the University of California each year. Other second-chance institutions teach people to speak English and read and write, and provide the training needed to enter trades as diverse as culinary arts and electronics. Their student bodies include people like <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/may/31/local/la-me-0601-tobar-20120601">my own father</a>, a Guatemalan immigrant with a fourth-grade education, who came to L.A. and took night courses at Hollywood and eventually got an A.S. degree from Los Angeles Trade Technical College.

  2. The Land of ooohs for back to school fashion

    Baby hipsters and BFFs Kaylee Vega and Madi Spadaro, both 13 and from Redondo Beach, are navigating the South Bay Galleria in Torrance with shark-like aggression. They've been saving pocket money all summer, and now, just weeks before school starts at the end of August, they're hitting the mall, determined to put together the most fabulous possible wardrobe for fall 2012. After all, no one wants to start the new semester looking "awkward" (Vega and Spadaro's word du jour).
