Start Your Child's Education Planning

Every one will agree with me when I say the best asset you can give to your child in order to secure his future is a 'good education'. As a parent we always want to see our child happy, healthy and to have better opportunities especially if we ourselves didn't have them during those early years of life.


In today's world education has become more globalised. So if one is planning for overseas education than the expense also involves factors like the length of study, stay and the choice of country

Many couples are having children later in life and they also want to retire earlier than previous generations. This means that, in many cases, the primary income-earning years may have ceased before their children finish secondary or tertiary education.

Do Kids Have Too Much Homework For Their Devolopment

The evidence presented in these stories was often anecdotal, profiling just one or two families. However, the articles were published in enough respected publications that they sparked a national debate on whether children have too much homework. Schools scrambled to create homework policies, parents held protests, and children began to receive sharply mixed messages on the value of homework.


Typical students, from kindergarten to high school, don't spend more than an hour a day doing homework.More than two-thirds of college freshmen did five hours or less of homework during their final year of high school.

However, a study performed in State University showed that children at that time were spending just over two hours per week on study, which could include activities other than homework. Interestingly, this study is often used to prove that students have too much homework, since the weekly hours spent on study increased over the life of the study

Technology in the Classroom For Your Child

There are several good reasons for using an observation tool such as ICOT to evaluate the effective use of technology in the classroom.


In addition, administrators are being asked about the use of technology or evaluated themselves based on the amount of time and quality of technology being used in their classrooms. In fact, one of the NETS for administrators, according to the different  website is to create, promote, and sustain a dynamic, digital-age learning culture at their school or district.
For the practical purposes of this article the writer used the ICOT instrument to observer a fifth grade teacher at the writer’s school. The teacher is a fifth year teacher who has taught traditional classes as well as boys’ single gender classes.

Online Schooling For The Child

Online schooling offers options and flexibility for families who want alternatives to traditional brick-and-mortar classroom learning. Students can use online schooling to make up missed credits, repeat courses, or even earn a complete high school diploma through the internet.

Online schooling allows parents to take on a greater role in their child’s education. Many online schooling programs let students to work at their own pace, slowing down in order to master the material or speeding up in order to graduate earlier.

If you think that online schooling may be the right choice for your family, take the time to explore options in your state.

Child Teaching Literary Analysis

Students choose a book to read. Then they "become" a character from the book. Students will be partnered up so they make a list of questions to ask their partner's character. It can have to do with characteristics, other characters, setting, plot, problem or solution, cause or effect,etc





Every sentence in every novel does something.  In my opinion, this is one of the most important foundational ideas for helping students understand literary elements and their use in literary text.
