Intelligence: In and Out of the Classroom
Teachers face an unending battle. Twenty students in a room, all learning and acting in mysterious ways. It is the teacher's war to gather their attention, hold it, and give a lesson compelling enough to teach them something. Right?
Anya LeighPublished 6 years ago in EducationJourney of a Nursing Student
So nursing, the profession of our decade right now. I chose this because, to be frank, I don't have a good reason—I just did. I didn't have an epiphany one morning and know that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't make a pros and cons sheet and pick this because of what I liked about it. My mom is a nurse, my ex-stepmother was a nurse, my brother is now a nurse. Kind of made sense I guess. I did learn throughout my experiences, that this is what I want to do. It does interest me and helping people when they need help the most is something that I want to be apart of.

Drake CollinsPublished 6 years ago in EducationThe Spirit of Wisdom
The world as we know it has drastically changed in the spans of just a few generations. In many ways the scope of the human dream has expanded radically, and in many ways it has shrunk. Technology is pushing our view of what is possible to new limits, and never before have so many people had access to such a breadth of knowledge. This is truly the bleeding edge of history. This truly is the Information Age. Yet, with all of the knowledge we have accumulated as a species, and as a global culture, mass ignorance pervades. The framework of human learning has changed so quickly with the rise of accessible travel, mass communications, and the the internet, but the way that we educate our children has but slowly progressed since 1821. At this critical point in history, it is time that we re-examine how we should be pouring into the lives of the youth, and how we can foster a new renaissance of human excellence.

College really sucks. Don't get me wrong. I have so much admiration in my heart for academia, school spirit, the connections, all of it; however, it can be a downer. I don't want anyone to read this and think "Wow, college is the worst." It is still an important and pivotal part of growing up and dancing into adulthood. As a college freshman, however, I've had a rude awakening.
Different Learning Styles
Visual learning is about seeing stuff. As a clairvoyant, I get to see a lot of different things in my dreams, visions or seeing auras in general. Auditory learners like to listen to tape-recorded lectures as one learning strategy that they can have. Verbal writing or speeches is another type of learning style. Physical learning involves using touch and your body to process information. Logical people use logic to reason about things, as well as systems. Social learning implies you learn in groups or with other people, solitary learners like me prefer to sit alone with books or using self-study methods.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in EducationA Student's Guide to Being Stress Free
Stress that's caused from education and studying is often neglected by adults who underestimate the pressures that young people now go through. When I was younger, there was no one to give me advice or to even take me seriously when I suffered from stress early into my schooling. However, moving to university and being on my own enabled me to find the best, and stress-free, ways to live and study. Here are six things I do to ensure that I remain stress free at university...
Published 6 years ago in EducationThe "No Child Left Behind" Law
Who came up with this law? Sometimes, a child should be held back a grade because of slow learning or having issues with learning. I know a girl who her mother wanted her to be held back, but the school wouldn't because of this law. The sad thing is the girl is now a teenager at seventeen and cannot tell time on a standard clock, nor can she count money or change back.
Brandi PaynePublished 6 years ago in EducationFive Perks of Being a College Athlete
In this article, I'll introduce a little about myself, as well as the main purpose of this article which is 5 things you will only understand if you are a college student athlete. I, myself am a swimmer at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, MA. I have been swimming for 15 years, and have learned that we as a team have a dynamic that is unlike any other, which is what inspired me to write this. So, without further a do, here are five perks of being a student athlete.
Realization
From birth, we have things instilled in us. These are ideas, concepts, and beliefs that we've had since we can remember. Because they were instilled in us, we never had any contradicting thoughts towards them. But now we're getting older. We're growing and so is our awareness. Through that awareness, we're realizing that we have to unlearn a lot of what we were taught at a young age. One of which is school. School always gave off this feeling that we weren't shit without it. We look at people funny if they dropped out or didn't have good grades. How we went about school has always played a significant role in how we were perceived. But here's the thing: none of that shit is real. it's fake. School is absolutely not the end all, be all. As a matter of fact, school fucking sucks.
Trai GreerPublished 6 years ago in EducationWhy I Am an Education Pusher
They say knowledge is power. I couldn't agree more. I am 16, I've just done my GCSEs (UK exams taken by students at the end of their final year of secondary), I came out with good results 7s, 8s, 9s (As, A*s, A**s) and now I am able to study the subjects I want to at A Level.

How many times have you had to drag your kids to school, convince them today will be better, or yell at them to get their homework done before they play? Were you like that as a kid? Why do you think school is such a horror story for kids?
