Why Are Children Addicted With Games
Statistics say that the generation that’s currently in elementary school and middle school will be one of the safest generations of all times, physically.

THE LEARNING PYRAMID: It’s About Stepping Down, Not Climbing Up
I kept reading over the textbook page again and again for a big test the next day, but everything just seemed to slip away from my mind. This was my first big high school test, and there was so much material I needed to learn on my own! The more I tried to read the notes, the more stressed I became about the test the next day. How do people do it? How do they decide to learn something on their own? How come no one taught me that I needed to do this on my own?

Better Future Begins With Education And Goals At Early Age
Research has shown that learning and loving language early on in life has a positive impact on how children read, write, and even socialize with people. From birth to five years of age, children learn language by participating in back in forth interactions with the important adults in their lives and having this responsive feedback is an essential ingredient in the learning process of every child.
Conquering The Fear Of Public Speaking
There is no other feeling as disturbing or as distracting as the fear of public speaking. This fear challenges you and beats you. It is a red light on your road to success, and even more so a trash can that collects all your efforts. You fear because of judgment and you fear because of the high standards you hold for yourself at. You fear the embarrassment and you fear the mistakes you are so very sure are going to occur.
A Guide To The Scholastic Aptitude Test
The SAT is an essential tool for a college to evaluate the student’s scholastic aptitude and readiness for college when compared against their peers across the country. While the GPA represents a student’s academic standing within their own school and shows the average of the student’s overall process, given each school’s different standards and grading, it is hard to use GPA as an absolute value to compare students across different schools.
How To Improve Writing Skills At Any Age
From essays and short stories to emails and college application essays, writing forms an elemental part of a student’s life. It’s how a student shows what he or she knows and if he or she can effectively apply that knowledge. And yet, writing is a difficult skill to learn and to master. Many students struggle to articulate and organize their thoughts on paper, easily becoming frustrated and discouraged by writing.
Participating In Virtual Classes
Participating in class is a common struggle that students face. Some jump out of their seats to answer a question or share ideas, while others prefer to listen rather than insert themselves into a discussion. Virtual learning has brought new challenges to the forefront, with the added difficulties of getting a teacher’s attention, navigating the mute and unmute button, and being “spotlighted” when called on.
Why It’s Important That Your Youngster Keeps Studying Over The Summer
Minnesota Public Radio hosts posed this question to listeners to evoke responses to the question “Does summer vacation still serve a useful purpose?” Responses from moms and dads flooded in. That survey was taken before Covid-19 upended academic programs as parents turned into quasi-teachers to their home-bound kids during quarantines.
