This title cut-down to "why aren't text messages designed to boost college success working at scale?" was extremely confusing until I looked more carefully at the original article and saw it says "text message INTERVENTIONS". To save characters--if we are ignoring the half-rule to accept the upstream author's title--I would suggest changing "text message" to "sms" instead of dropping the key noun "interventions".

- MauranKilom 6y agoI still can't actually parse the title. What is "college success working at scale"? Edit: Ok, halfway through the article it became clear: The proper reading is > "Why Aren’t SMS Interventions which are Designed to Boost College Success Working at Scale?" and not the way I read it initially: > "Why don't we design SMS interventions so that they boost college success working, at scale?" Funny enough, this is a case where languages with different capitalization for noun vs verb (working, in this case) would immediately resolve ambiguities. Well, except for Title Case, I guess.
