A Head For Numbers
I was never a genius - my IQ would fall somewhere between 65 and 100, but people respected and admired me for what they termed my "head for numbers". I admit: even though I remember most things such as my business or telephone numbers, as well as those of others, some are more difficult for me to retain. Still, I was stumped when - according to my mother's prediction - kids my age and my college year were queuing up outside my door to assist them with a mathematical problem. Mathematics was not my favorite subject. Nevertheless, I managed to pass every year with flying colors. In any event, I took up a position as a temp in a prestigious school, teaching...what else? Before I accepted the position, I had to do a little refresher course into the more advanced aspects of mathematics.

I don't know if you're like me, but in all of my American history classes, I don't remember learning anything about the Reconstruction period. I do remember being shocked learning about it outside of school when I'd graduated college and fighting the conspiracy-like thoughts of "what else were they hiding from me?"

Some schools consider using a school management software , while others want a traditional system for a number of reasons. Technology participation is increasing in everyday life. Advanced software created by experts is specifically designed to be effective in schools. The school's goals are the same as the management system.

Hi. I'm a highschool student, currently a freshman. I'm only one year in and I already hate it. My hate for this emotionally traumatizing rollercoaster sparked the motivation to write this for anyone reading. If you're in school and you hate it, show this to your parents. You probably feel the same way and maybe you have the same experiences. Anyway, let's get into this.
Dear High School
Dear High School, I will never miss you. You forced me to be up at the earliest of hours, despite science proving that is unhealthy for minors. You swallowed us whole for eight hours out of every single day, pumping us with verbiage pertaining to mostly useless information. Where were you when I needed to know how to file my taxes? Where were you when I needed to know how to build credit? To save for retirement? You would scream at as constantly that college was the answer to life after high school, you jammed it down our throats to where we felt asphyxiated from the pressure. You failed to make it known to us that there were other options for us to pursue, that there were many avenues we could take to achieve happiness. So where the hell were you when we drove ourselves into thousands of dollars in debt, never knowing the true implications of our actions, whilst more than likely never holding a job that our degree was supposed to help us obtain?

George harleyPublished 3 years ago in EducationTake the Classics Out of High School
I remember reading three Shakespeare plays in high school: Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, and As You Like It. I also read bits from the Odyssey and the Iliad by Homer in Grade 10, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Crucible by Arthur Miller in Grade 11, and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell in Grade 12. Without my teachers, I would've never understood the novels and plays ... in fact, I probably never would've even read any of them in the first place.

Jeevan Kumar 093Published 3 years ago in EducationHow the Indian Education System is killing students?
Beginning Only after a few years of your childhood freedom, most of India's children are dumped into a school that teaches nothing apart from academics. Most of the schools have almost no facilities for music, dance or sports activities, now as the school doesn’t have these facilities a child never gets exposed to them completely. Even though a child expresses his interest in some extra-curricular activities that he considers worth pursuing, it is either suppressed by their parents or school due to lack of facilities. He also starts to wonder that most people are only studying in academic institutions, which means other activities are not good career options. He ultimately suppresses his interest. The prime problem arises from a lack of exposure. If one never gets exposed to various things in life, he’ll never know either he likes it or not.
