Julie Alexander+FollowCambridge’s Private School Pivot?Cambridge’s Trinity Hall is stirring up drama by shifting its student recruitment focus back to elite private schools like Eton and St Paul’s Girls. Critics are calling it a slap in the face for state school students and a step back for diversity. The college says it’s about finding the ‘best and brightest,’ but many are worried it’s just old-school privilege making a comeback. What do you think—fair play or backwards move? #Education #Cambridge #SocialMobility00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAlligator rescue brings smiles to CambridgeAn alligator in the Charles River? That’s what happened in Cambridge, where a quick-thinking local and his girlfriend spotted the little reptile and rallied the community to help. Thanks to their efforts and a wildlife educator, the alligator—now named Charles—is safe and recovering after being abandoned as a pet. It’s a wild reminder that exotic animals don’t belong in our parks or rivers, especially in Boston’s chilly climate. Charles will spend the next year helping educate others before moving to a warmer home. What do you think about people keeping exotic pets in the city? #Science #Cambridge #Community00Share
