After indicting 19 people so far, Mueller's team has put on edge many people in US President Donald Trump's orbit, not least Trump himself. But the investigators appear to still have a long way to go before wrapping up their probe.

Should Classes Be Smaller--Or Simply More Orderly?
While there is much debate over the cost, wisdom, and effectiveness of different strategies for increasing the amount of learning time available in the average school year--such as increasing attendance rates, lengthening the school day, cutting out recess, and lengthening the school year--little attention has been paid to how much student learning time is reduced by disruptive student behavior.
Until now. A recent research study of educational productivity has provided an effective framework for better understanding this debate. The study also highlights the importance of teacher quality and raises questions about the cost-effectiveness of class size reduction proposals.
It's easy to understand how the behavior of a single undisciplined child can severely disrupt a class of students and leave significantly less time available for learning. For example, if an unruly student monopolizes 20 percent of a teacher's time and distracts other students at the same time, only 80 percent of the class time is left for learning.

Bridgewater Associates did an analysis of pension funds
recently and concluded 85% of them will fail if returns average 4%.
Bridgewater notes that public pensions have just $3 trillion
in assets to invest to cover future retirement payments of $10 trillion over
the next many decades. It would take an investment return of roughly 9% a year
to meet those obligations.
With the 30-Year long bond yielding a mere 3.5% and with
stock valuation through the roof, I expect negative returns for 7-10 years.
Stretched out over 30 years, 4% seems about right. 9% is out
of the question.
CNBC has further analysis in Report: 85% of pensions could fail in
30 years
