Parents, Guardians Let's Get Involved
Parent/guardian-teacher conferences are a staple in the relationship between school faculty, administrators, and the student’s caregiver. It is designed to bring answers to questions the parent/guardian may have about a child’s performance in school, and for the faculty member to gain better insight on behaviors which may occur in school.

Systematic Racism and Mistreatment of Students in Lower Income School Districts
Now that I'm twenty-four, and graduated from college, I look back on my grade school experience often. When people bring up the constant issues that their children are facing in school, it brings me back the school district that I grew up in. There are too few great educators, a handful of good teachers, and a disgusting amount of check collectors in the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). As a child in elementary school, I can't seem to come to a conclusion as to why I never told my mother what the staff was doing to us daily. I knew that the way we were talked to, treated, and sneared at was not right. I knew it was wrong when they made us sit on the black top in the sun, in the heat, and in total silence during recess.

Personal Story: How I Overcame Panic and Anxiety Of Doing School Presentations
I remember those times when I did group presentations back in high school and every time the first speaker started the presentation, my heart would start pounding as I awaited my turn. Suddenly, I felt as though the room got colder; my body started shaking, my hands trembled and my teeth furiously grinded upon each other. I had to push myself to the absolute limits for people to hear me and even then, people at the back of the room were oblivious to the topics I was speaking about, because I simply could not grab their attention.

The Art of Tutoring
One of the biggest issues for Supply Teachers is a lack of work, particularly over a holiday time, leading to financial hardship. Many supply teachers struggle financially and need a second income to support their supply teaching work. But finding a job which would fit in with your supply teacher role can be difficult. Private tutoring could be the answer. However, there are a few things to consider first.

The Truth About University
I have just started my 4th week at University and I absolutely love it. Every aspect has been amazing from the course to my flat mates but it isn't all rainbows and flowers, boys and booze or interesting and engaging. From my first blog post I said my goal is to be real with you guys, not post skinny tea ads or pretend that university is an idealised world, because it isn't. And the reason it isn't is because this chapter is your life, not a one off night out.

Want to Have a Business That You Can Be Around Dogs All Day?
Most pet lovers' dream is to have your own business or have a job where they can be around dogs all day long. Well, it's not very far out of reach. Take me, I'm 16 years old and I run my very own dog breeding, training and boarding business. And I make good money doing it. It may have been easier for me due to the fact I have an entire summer break off, and lots of days off from school. But, it's definitely not impossible to do with a job (or without one). See, as soon as I get home, I go work for my business, it starts out 5am every morning, I get up, let the client's dogs outside, feed them, water them, and then put them in their respective kennels for the day. And then, repeat as soon as I get home. Luckily, I have parents that work from home and they can fix any problems the dogs may be having during the day. And I am super grateful for that. But, in the beginning, it was me by myself doing this on the summer break.
