Before I really pour my thoughts into this topic, I'd like to clarify a few things:

University isn't for everyone. University isn't the only way you can do great things and become financially stable. However, for some individuals higher education is what they feel is right for them—whatever the reason behind this may be, this one is for you.

Host families are families who agree to let a student from a foreign country stay in their house for a short period of time, and attend school with their child while undertaking a study tour. Being a host student is a rich opportunity for a plethora of reasons. When I was in school, I was a host student for seven years. Each year, my family and I hosted a student from Japan. If you have the space in your home, and your family is willing and able, I highly recommend being a host student at least once in your life.

For some kids, the stress of whether to go to college is a pressure cooker waiting to explode, especially if they do not want to go. College is not for every kid, but parents often put their ambitions for their children on them. We are well aware of the extent some parents go to to get their kids into a university. Is college for the kid or for the parents? There was a time when the military was the go-to source of jobs for kids, especially African American kids. Parents looked at the military as a way out of the ghetto, which could eat their kids up and spit them out on the nearest-drug infested corner. That seems to have changed somewhat as military standards have changed. It wasn’t so much that parents didn’t want their kids to enlist; rather, it's more that kids weren’t being accepted so readily.

At the age of 24, I never thought I would learn another language. I took German throughout high school, and regrettably, I never gave it 100 percent, which left me with just the basics. But now, I have the greatest motivation of all. My husband is Brazilian, and speaks (Brazilian) Portuguese. Only a few of his family members know English, so it is vital that I learn as much as I can to be able to communicate with them effectively. Also, in the future, when my husband teaches our children Portuguese, I want to be involved in their learning process of both English and Portuguese.

I always loved science. My brain is wired analytically, and I always did well enough at anything quantitative. I also crave new knowledge, and I’ve always been too ambitious for my own good.

America is dealing with one of the worst education crises in history. As of right now, our country's ability to compete with others on an international level is in freefall.

According to the Population Referral Bureau, there are over 40 million senior citizens living in the United States today. A senior citizen is anyone who is aged 65 or older. This term is simply a way of segmenting a group of people for demographic purposes.

Need to catch up on your course plan? Attempting to graduate early? Just interested in fitting some fun courses into your schedule? Taking summer courses might be for you. However, there are a few things to consider before registering for a summer semester...

I’ve had many of you who are reading this. You should be congratulating US. Who is "US"? We are the teachers who taught you to read. We are the very brave souls who furthered our education so that you could further yours. We endured years of college and amassed a collection of degrees just so that you can go further in your life.

When you're a student in college, all you can think about is the finish line, graduation, but what happens when you cross it?

Arthur Schlesinger, a historian who taught at Harvard University, once commented that when writing history, “objectivity is not neutrality.” One could argue that this is the case with Daniel Walker Howe and the book What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America—1815-1848.

REVIEW: This Is How It Always Is by Laurel Frankel

La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West, penned by Francis Parkman, Jr. was originally published in 1869. There is an art to crafting a compelling narrative readers want to digest not only with their eyes, but also their minds. This is equally true for historically accurate works as it is for works of historical fiction. There is little doubt, when reading Parkman, Jr.’s writing, there was a mind at work when penning La Salle and the Discovery of the Great West.

Before I really pour my thoughts into this topic, I'd like to clarify a few things:

IT Field

You are a college freshman, 18 years old (or even 17, like I was!). Away from home. No parents around. A roommate (or roommates, if you are in a triple) with unknown living habits. Questions running through your head: does he or she snore? Will we be the odd couple—one messy, one clean? Will this room still look and smell fresh by October? Is she a chipper morning person to my slow-rising, “I need coffee before I speak,” mood? How much laundry detergent do I put in the machine? I have to wake up on my own?!

Do you want to be super successful in your online course and pass it with excellent grades? Then you have to do a lot more besides studying the course material and completing assignments on time. There are millions of students that take up online courses but few of them complete it on time, as they require dedication and hard work, especially if students have a regular job or hectic work schedule at home. Here are some tips that can be adopted to successfully complete your online course.

Advancements in education and technology has made it easier for millions of people to earn a proper education. Online courses by available colleges and universities are viable mediums which provide opportunities for people to continue their education and earn degrees and diplomas while still challenging them with challenging, academic work.

Engineering majors are some of the hardest out there and require great dedication and skill. In fact, according to a study conducted by the UCLA, two-thirds of engineering students fail to get their intended degree within five years. Still, don’t take these statistics to heart. There’s a simple, yet effective, way of accomplishing your goal—prepare while you’re still at high school. If you want to learn how just keep on reading.

The tech industry has been rapidly growing, with many different startups opening up on a monthly basis on the chance that they might get big someday. While many of these startups will publish job openings for positions on their teams, they can be very competitive with more people than ever trying to get into the tech industry. Think about getting one of these degrees to help yourself stand out among other competitors.

Here in the UK, it is the main season when school exam results come out. These are seen as high-stakes exams by both the educational system and the individuals taking them. They are thought of as “deciding your future:" what further study you can go onto, which universities you can study at, even what careers you can follow. However, I want to argue this is not the case. There are many futures out there that anyone can build and there are various non-traditional paths through the education system, or via on the job training, that can enable any individual to build a fulfilling life and a future largely of their own choosing.

Education is the single most important thing that can change your life. When it comes to choosing which degree to pursue, the choices can be really daunting. It depends on a lot of factors, and the world keeps changing rapidly. In this article, some of the world's most in-demand degrees will be discussed.

The best way that I know how to describe the true heartbeat of homeschooling is to first compare and contrast the difference between an entrepreneur versus an employee of a company.

The recent years have brought several issues to major news attention. The world is going through climate change at a rate fast enough for it to be called a climate crisis. In some parts of the UK, life expectancy has fallen (Source: BBC). So is it time to reassess what is being taught in British schools, and modernise the content being used in the classroom?

For my final drama class in high school, a few of my friends and I decided to direct the school’s musical of the year. This would start the worst semester of my life, academically and emotionally. We started the semester with the plan to put on Peter Pan Jr. It was an easy musical for the talent level in our class, and we were excited about it. That is, until the issue of the Indians were brought up. This is obviously a very racist depiction of Native American people, and we had a few ideas, some of which were making the Indians another group of Lost Boys, or scrapping them all together. We ultimately decided that we couldn’t do Peter Pan, and it was back to the drawing board.

At the age of 24, I never thought I would learn another language. I took German throughout high school, and regrettably, I never gave it 100 percent, which left me with just the basics. But now, I have the greatest motivation of all. My husband is Brazilian, and speaks (Brazilian) Portuguese. Only a few of his family members know English, so it is vital that I learn as much as I can to be able to communicate with them effectively. Also, in the future, when my husband teaches our children Portuguese, I want to be involved in their learning process of both English and Portuguese.

What do you do when you get an assignment from your college or university? Do you begin drafting immediately? Or do you just freak out that you have got so many assignments and exams and you don’t know how to finish them on time? Do you leave it until the last minute and then frantically work upon it or get assignment help?

I recently moved over 500 miles to a new city I knew nothing about. I thought it would be an exciting adventure, a new chapter in my life. I thought I would make new friends and travel new places. Life would be good, I'd find a job easily, and live happily for a few years. That my friends, is called pure ignorance.

People sign up for online courses because they’re looking to rise the career ladder or planning a change of a career. But online learning can be a lonely journey requiring a lot of dedication and patience. Before you sign up for a course, it is advisable to understand your strengths and weaknesses. But if you have signed up for one, here’s how to complete it successfully:

Stress is something that we all know too well. Especially as a student! Would you believe me if I told you that students are reporting stress-related illnesses way more than they were 30 years ago? It's true!

Is Graduation the End of Learning?

I found Essay Bulls when I started looking for a new writing service, since the last one wasn’t good enough. Essay Bulls is a safe website where you can pay someone to write your essay sample. It’s not so good for my conscience, but this kind of academic help is necessary when I’m tired or too busy.

I'm a naturally skeptical person. At first, I got enough use from Grammarly to add it to my "Quick Access" folder and I only upgraded to premium because I could write it off as a business expense. I should've known Grammarly was worth the investment from the moment I read a draft and thought, "Wow, this is way better than what I had before."

Are you still using real cue cards? Then you really need to check out this list! There is a whole world of apps and technologies to help you learn better and faster! This list is just the beginning, so get ready for a future of technology-based learning.

There are certain advantages to homeschooling any child, but homeschooling those with special needs is especially advantageous. The benefits of a home education largely outweigh those of public education. Here are five more good reasons to teach your children at home.

So, summer is coming to an end. Depending on your university or college, or what degree you're doing, this could've been just about any length. I've been off for about three months now. And I've still got a month to go until classes actually start again. So, while I've still got a fair bit of time, you can never be too prepared. Here's how I'm going to be getting ready, and making sure I'm fully prepared for all the work to come, and just the general university lifestyle.

I led a training this summer where teachers were introduced to a new science curriculum newly adopted by our district. The room was filled with excited but nervous energy. Many teachers commented about how they were excited to teach the new content and how the new curriculum would be so much better for their students. However, on the flip side of that coin, I also heard, "I'm not sure how I'm going to do this." The echos of this statement are familiar to me because, as an educator, I have whispered those words to myself multiple times over the years. I know how it feels to be presented with something new and being overwhelmed with the time and energy it will take to implement it into my teaching practices. During this training, these teachers were presented with the obstacles of time and technology, and I could almost read the defeat on some of their faces when they realized they were going to have to overcome challenges they weren't prepared to take on this school year. I cannot count how many times I have felt this way myself over the years. Usually, this defeated feeling comes when I'm told I need to collect behavioral data, or when I have to come up with Plan F for student intervention. But what I have learned recently is that it is these moments that are allowing me to grow as an educator. When I lean into the uncomfortable and overwhelming situations with a belief that there is a solution, then I find myself trying instead of letting the feeling of defeat win.

A campus is an extremely important element of college pedagogy. We don't consider everything that it does for us when we are there.

The year was 2008, I was in college and the first black U.S. President was just elected. I had no real direction in college at the time, just taking general classes. The victory of President Obama was a big deal. This is the first presidential election for me after high school. Second, I felt it was time for me to finally get involved and be up to date with politics. I knew, however this required much reading and history. All and any issues the president-elect has, they inherit from before. Their problems are not birthed from a vacuum.

When I first decided to go to culinary school, it was 2010. I surprised myself in one of my manic phases and did something I may or may not have done in a less impulsive state of mind. I am a second generation Chef, which just means that my dad is also a Chef and has worked in kitchens all of his adult life. My dad did not go to culinary school, but rather, he worked his way through the ranks of kitchens like a true old-school culinarian. If I had to do it all over again, that might have been my choice as well.

There's a lot of things you learn in culinary school that have nothing to do with cooking. Here's my list of some things I didn't think about or expect to learn before starting school.
