Sandra E. Graham (8,335)   
Sandra E. Graham  
I was noticing in this morning's news that President Obama is considering a plan to lengthen our public school's days or year and just wondered how many Americans agree that our children are getting too far behind other nation's children in educational academics.

James Taylor (802) 
James Taylor
Indeed, what conundrums we humans get ourselves into. We built a country to protect religious freedoms. Smart design.

Stephany Springer (40,965) 
Stephany Springer
My favorite part of being a teacher is watching kids learn to read. My own daughter just started reading by herself, and I have to admit that it is the best feeling as a mother who also loves reading. But what do you do when your child struggles?

Ronyae
It's funny how I do my best brainstorming when I'm on my sick bed; nobody likes to be sick. But me, I'm allergic to it.

- Mogama (32,136)  
Mogama
Few years ago, I saw the first Internet ad offering me a chance to earn my master's or doctorate without attending one class on any campus. I thought it was some kind of scam, but I was wrong.
Though the traditional classroom still has its advantages, the trend is that brick-and-mortar... ( added 1 year 126 days ago.) |
Why Don’t Youngsters Know Basic Math -
Mike Fak (5,201) 
Mike Fak
Now I'm not one of those old-timers who thinks everything was better in the old days. Some things were but there is a lot about today that far exceeds what we could do just a few decades ago.
I also think the children of today are way smarter than any other generation. The problem however is... ( added 1 year 154 days ago.) |

Does Economic Status Pre-Determine a Student's Success in Life? -
- Bob Shubert (205) 
Bob Shubert
Do the other students in your child's school consider your

a determining factor in your child's self-confidence and overall outcome as any
other factor they encounter in school including race. My personal analysis... ( added 1 year 239 days ago.) |

The Third Level of Education -

E. Raymond Rock
Ask any educator today about the purpose of teaching and they will more than likely say that it is to bestow knowledge, not much different from programming a computer.

Adding From Left to Right -- A Better Way to Add -
Peter Waycik (1,824)
More than likely, when you learned how to add, you started on the right and moved to the left. If you were adding whole numbers, you added the ones, "carried" if necessary, and repeated for the tens, hundreds and so on. This works well on paper, and it is the most efficient paper and pencil...
