Raising Greatness
When my son started kindergarten my son was struggling, just like some of the other children in his class. I thought he was just nervous to be starting something so new. The first year of school jitters, so as an educator, I assumed it was completely normal and I didn't put much thought into it. As he progressed to the first grade, I watched my son try, but struggle. Every subject seemed to be a dreadful experience for him. It seemed to become harder and harder as the school year progressed, and things became much harder for him in the classroom. He had been tutored and also received an intervention. Help was provided regularly, but he seems to still have a really hard time.

Why Underfunding is Hurting Education
Funding can be a problem when money is not allocated properly. Some areas can get over funded while other areas do not have enough money to provide essential items for their students or participants. Schools can be one of the places that are not able to have enough funding to provide learning resources for students. This can take a toll on parents, teachers, students and even taxpayers. Underfunding can put a stress on the community and can create a lot of tension and fighting if funding issues are not resolved.

How Students Can Make the Most Out of Spring Break
Vacations give students more than just the chance to relax after all the tests you spent weeks studying for. These week-plus breaks give you the time needed to prepare for future schoolwork, which reduces the anxiety and exhaustion that can come with homework and tests.

Taking Back What the School System Stole from Me
No... Hell no... It’ll be a cold day in Orlando before I voluntarily pick up a book and read through blocks of text. I’ve been through my fair share of textbooks. They’re boring. They’re dry. The information serves no purpose in my life other than my grades.

The Positive Effect of Volunteering to Improve Your Spoken English
Volunteering is a big word, which showcases a person’s willingness to help others. It is a noble action, and even if it indicates your commitment for others, it can also help you on so many levels. If there is a perfect time for volunteering, then that would be during your studies.
