An Open Letter to All Educators in the United States and Beyond
Dear Educators of the World, I recently read a news article about a mother going into a school in South Carolina classroom and confronting the kids in there for bullying her son. I don't blame her. If the teachers and the other staff did their jobs, instead of letting her son be harassed and physically abused then, she wouldn't have to do their jobs for them.
Anastasia BarthPublished 5 years ago in EducationThe Most Common Barriers to Learning and How to Overcome Them
With the advent of smart devices, the popularity of social media, and even generally the interference of the World Wide Web, we realize that we are no longer living in the simpler times that prevailed in the 1990s, when apparently the only possible gameplay and social life for students used to be to “go out and play.” Numerous distractions cross the minds of the youngsters these days, derived from the inevitable advancement of technology, causing the human potential to be challenged at a much deeper level than before. It has now become a struggle to make our kids adopt critical thinking and maintain focus on their studies, in order to build a proper foundation of knowledge for them before they step foot into the practical world.
Tiffany HarperPublished 5 years ago in EducationMastering the Comma
The Comma (,) is an integral part of any English language sentence and while it may not come up all the time, it is likely to come up in many of your sentences, especially if they are longer than 10 words. The comma helps us to avoid run-on sentences or sentences that are too long-winded, which will distract the reader and take away from the meaning of your sentence(s). Commas should be used moderately to not introduce many pauses within your sentences.

Not to be that person, but I would like to pat myself on the back for surviving the ever-daunting first year of college. Freshman year of college is a time of self-discovery, growth, and learning to become your own person. I was always so excited to go to college, and move away from home so I could finally do what I wanted to do. Although these things still excite me, what I did learn is that college is a once in a lifetime experience that varies from person to person, and my experience is no different.

Imani TahiraPublished 5 years ago in EducationThe Library Is Changing at the Speed of Google
The university library. For those of us of a certain age, many, many an hour was spent there. When we walked uphill through the snow - bothways, of course - to do research, there was simply no alternative. The university library was the place to be. It was where all research started. When you needed to do research, the library - not the World Wide Web - was your source of all information. Yes, it was also a social place and a study space, but more than anything else, the purpose of the library was clear: It had "the stuff" you needed to research anything - and there really was no alternative!

Ross GellerPublished 5 years ago in EducationWhat's Next?
It's my senior year, and you can see how excited everyone is. Graduation is quickly approaching, and all I hear is people discussing which university or college they will attend. I envied them because they were already set to go somewhere and had their school paid for; in the meantime, I had no idea what I was going to do. Some students planned to attend local colleges, while others planned to attend out-of-state universities. Isn't it fancy?
