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".

I 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.

It's

((Why aren't) (SMS Interventions Designed to Boost College Success) (Working at Scale))

not

((Why aren't) (SMS Interventions) (Designed to Boost College Success Working at Scale))

(Why (aren't (Working (SMS Interventions Designed to Boost College Success) (at Scale))))

Changed.
