How to Stand Out in Law School
You made it through your undergraduate and you passed through the grueling application process. You may think that all of your work is done, but the work is just about to begin. Law school is going to be different from college, just like college was different than high school. There will still be tests and papers and thinking until your head hurts, but there will be some things that are different from college. You will get to take classes that are all specific to law and the practice of it so there will not be general classes that cover geology or humanities. This is good because you can focus on what you want to practice—law—but the classes will go into a lot more depth than your previous college classes did.

Why Underfunding is Hurting Education
Funding can be a problem when money is not allocated properly. Some areas can get over funded while other areas do not have enough money to provide essential items for their students or participants. Schools can be one of the places that are not able to have enough funding to provide learning resources for students. This can take a toll on parents, teachers, students and even taxpayers.

Having been bullied throughout my school career, I can honestly say that the current school system rewards bullies more than it punishes them. Bullying was the reason why I dropped out, and why most of my friends do not have college degrees either.
Skunk UzekiPublished 5 years ago in EducationHow to Study More Efficiently
1. Change your environment. Always studying in the same place can get very distracting, even if it can get your mind "in the zone" in the meantime. Your family or dorm-mate might distract you, as well as the noises outside. The room might get too cramped (especially if you're stuck with a tiny dorm), or too hot. Check out your area to find different alternatives that might suit you better. Some examples include: a coffee shop, a library, outside, or if you aren't in a dorm, go to a different part of the house!

In high school, I was one of the many kids who chose to take Spanish as their language elective. In the United States, many people speak Spanish! What a great language to learn, or so I thought.
Rachel LeePublished 5 years ago in EducationSix Working Ways to Engage Students in Volunteering
We can’t deny the fact that students are an important part of our society today. Their level of social awareness, their keenness in sharing knowledge, and their great enthusiasm for a cause that interests them make them a good fit for volunteers. Being a volunteer involves spending your time and energy in an activity that isn’t directly for your good, but rather for others. This helps the society a lot and the best set of people for this are students. The problem with getting students to volunteer is that their interests as young folk might not necessarily be what you want them to volunteer for. Below are six ways to encourage and engage students in volunteering.
