The end of high school is usually considered the end of childhood. If this is still true, students on the cusp of adulthood have to be ready to take on its responsibilities, including a readiness to work hard, even for those going on to the very pleasurable experience of college.

Well, there might be a lot of reasons behind it. Exploring and figuring out the reasons can be challenging, but you don’t need to worry at all. Everything
Learning is a complex process. We learn by building on past experiences; by trial and error; by starting with simple tasks and combining them over time to accomplish more complex tasks; and, by gaining insight and understanding of the relationship between various parts of a problem. Research demonstrates that for teaching to be effective, a learner must be able to create meaningful relevant patterns. The process of learning must be maintained within a context of appropriate and challenging standards. If our
“I don’t like to read.” “Reading is boring.” Reading is old school.” “Reading takes too much time.” “I’d rather watch the movie.” I’m sure many of us have heard either these lines or something similar when attempting to encourage a reluctant reader to read. Oftentimes we will hear this from children; however, there is a large number of adults who express the same sentiments. This could be problematic for us as a country because reading is the foundation for learning.
The mobile phone soon made an entry and today has become an extension of us – our lifeline for communication. However, there are still some concepts that elude us like LMS or Learning Management Systems. So what are they?

Many years, billions of dollars, and hundreds of reform strategies later, the schools survive largely untouched while America enjoys one of its greatest periods of prosperity in history. To some this is an enigma: how can we lead the world economically while trailing the world educationally? How will our economy fare when generations of poorly educated
By Author: Natasha Hernandez Present day way of life has its own arrangement of advantages, and now and again restrictions. While it has favored us with mechanical blessings, it has set aside a few minutes ‘time for family’ an extravagance. Following full time work, most guardians wish to invest energy with their youngsters. For certain guardians, and children obviously, homework is viewed as a type of jackass work. However, there are other people who view at homework as a chance to quicken
Nothing can be counted as progress in a community until the children and youth are well-served and show healthy development and steady, sustained advances in learning. The needs of children and youth in inner-city communities are very great, yet these communities continue to receive too little attention in most places. Even in those urban areas where major revitalization initiatives have been put into place, disinvestment of all kinds-economic, professional, and social-is the pattern, and fractionation across agencies, professional societies, and
