Why Do People Home School Their Children? Of course in America there are many options to educating our children. There are public schools, private schools, charter schools, Montessori schools and, of course, the option of home schooling. There are advocates of both home schooling and public schooling Charlotte Olympia Birthday Libra Zodiac Smoking Slipper In Pistachio. Those of us who don�t home school, which is still the majority of Americans, need to fully understand the reasons why people choose to home school their children.Religious or Philosophical Convictions: Religion is not permitted in the public schools. Many families feel that religion needs to be a larger part of their child�s education than that which the public schools allow. People who have deep religious beliefs show great passion. These are the individuals who are passionate about their children�s education and feel that only they are able to teach them to the best of their ability and the content that they feel they should be learning. The home schooling parent is in charge, they call the shots and they like it that way.Socialization:Some people that don�t understand home schooling believe that it is confining rather than socializing. But those individuals that believe that are stuck in thinking about the stereotypical socialization of an age-based classroom. Children that are home schooled are exposed to social situations in a mixed age range. They have �age-mates� instead of �class-mates�.Many home schoolers feel that their children need to be exposed to the appropriate ways to behave not inappropriate. They feel that their child should be exposed to the model behavior of people who have learned to make decisions and handle themselves in various social settings. By being exposed to appropriate modeling of social behavior, home-schooled children will learn how to act appropriately. Parents of home schooled children can also see when their child �gets-it� when they model for a younger child appropriate behavior. Home-schooled children get a reality based social lesson. On a daily basis they see adults they know, love and trust manage and balance life day to day. Modeled for them is academics balanced with real life chores; caring for a sick friend or neighbor, shoveling the driveway and walkway, doing the grocery shopping and dropping of the dry cleaning, cooking dinner while folding laundry, putting laundry away and talking on the phone with Aunt Sara. These are real life situations that home schoolers are exposed to and public school children are often sheltered from or are privy to a controlled school environment.Academics: Home schoolers have several advantages over publicly schooled children. The curriculum is designed specifically for them � not for children their age and what children at a particular age are expected to know and learn. Public schools differentiate instruction the best they can. However, a home-schooled child has a curriculum tailored to their needs. They may read at a 4 th grade level, spell at a 3 rd grade level and complete math at a 6 th grade level Charlotte Olympia. A home-schooled child is neither rushed nor not given enough time. There are no other children to �keep busy� so they are free to work at their pace and move as quickly or as slowly as need be. Much research has been done on how children learn best. A home-schooled child is not only taught by the person who knows them best in the entire world but also since they are the only student, the learning style never has to be varied. If a student learns best through music, then the curriculum of a home-schooled child can be tailored to meet their needs so they will be more successful.Home-schooled children get to spend more quality time as a family. They are not trapped in a traditional school setting for 6 hours a day but are free to spend quality time as a family every day post by haiyan701. It is said that parents are a child�s first teacher. Families that home school want to continue to be their child�s teacher because they feel that their children need the guidance of their family and God and not the guidance of someone hired to do a job that is naturally theirs from the day their child was born.<

Shakespeare Plays by Jennifer Stover
Among the / to be performed this summer in the Midwest is "The Tempest". The Michigan Shakespeare Festival will be performing "The Tempest" on July 14, 17, 19, 23, 25, and August 1st. To give you a little background on "The Tempest", I have included this very informative article.

The Tempest is the last complete play, which Shakespeare is believed to have written. In many ways it is unlike any other of his works. It is the only play, which faithfully observes the "unities" (time [less than 24 hours], place and plot-structure) described by Aristotle in his Poetics. The entire play (with the exception of the very first scene) is set on a fictional island, which almost seems alive with magic, both visual and aural. This dream-like setting provides the perfect atmosphere for the play's fantastical happenings.

While the island is a natural place, it is also otherworldly. By creating dream-like and semi-real images, Shakespeare evades representation of the world of materiality. This setting is utilized to explore themes ranging from social order and the supernatural to the conflict between 'civilized' man and nature. This can also be taken to represent the cruelty of the European colonists of the New World, which was beginning to become more accessible to settlers at the time the play was written. Few of Shakespeare's plays have plots so driven by the supernatural as The Tempest. Magic is the agent, which creates the conflict between the different characters or factions, but it is also the method by which the conflict is ended and Prospero achieves his goal. It can represent the characters denial of human rights and ignorance of the importance of uninfluenced human emotion, but also the dangers of self-indulgence and hunger for power. As well as being used to drive the plot and keep interest among the readers, it illustrates the basic themes of love, power and politics. Also, it helps us understand some deeper themes in the play, such as the blurring of the line

between illusion and reality. This effect is well illustrated by Alonso's words: 'If you be he [Prospero] or no,' near the end of the play, when he has been so tormented by the visions induced by Prospero's magic he has little ability to differentiate between what is real and what is not. Contrasts and reflections play a major role in The Tempest One good example was how some characters in the first act had their counterparts. Ariel had Caliban, and Gonzalo had Ferdinand. The relationship between Ariel and Caliban could clearly be seen throughout Act I, scene II. Ariel was the "airy spirit" that could assume different shapes, such as the lightning flames seen on the ship (Shakespeare 31), and who had quickness, lightness, grace, and total control over his actions. On the other hand, Caliban who represented the body, couldn't control his actions and thus made him the opposite of Ariel.

He even tried to rape Miranda once, but was stopped by Prospero in the process. In fact, it might even be safe to say that Caliban was anti-Ariel, being slow, stupid, and lazy. Gonzalo and Ferdinand were also contrasted in this act. In Act I, scene I lines 28-33, Gonzalo made fun of the boatswain by saying that he didn't look like the type to drown; instead he resembled more of the type to be hanged. Thus, implying that no one on the ship would drown. This gesture by Gonzalo showed that he was an optimistic person Charlotte Olympia. On the other hand, after landing on the island in Act I, scene ii, Ferdinand grew worry of his father and immediately presumed he was dead. He even says that he was now the new King of Naples. Ferdinand's pessimism is evident in this regard.

From the contrasts between Ariel - Caliban, and Gonzalo - Ferdinand, one develops a character profile of the four and starts to recognize some ideas that Shakespeare was trying to bring about in The Tempest. Reflections in The Tempest can be seen as a pattern For instance, in almost every respect, Gonzalo's ideas on how best to govern an island relate directly in some form to Prospero's existing reign. Gonzalo, an honest sage, aging councilor first openly asserts his vision of a perfect society while meandering with his comrades on the sandy beach of some uninhabited, distant isle. Prospero's own notion on how a society should be set up and governed is evidenced most clearly through his current rule over the island he had long before washed ashore on. In William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Gonzalo's vision of ruling and maintaining a commonwealth mirrors that of the actual rule of Prospero. Caliban, in the beginning of the play, was the ruler of the island who is later overthrown by Prospero.

But he later tries to take revenge on his suppressor by killing him and never quite succeeds. Prospero mirrors Caliban's behavior. He was expelled from his dukedom and he later tries to take revenge but never quite succeeds. Such instances are many in the play. There are many different themes in the play. It would be prudent to look at a few themes and issues in this essay. The main themes in The Tempest are charity and reconciliation post by haiyan701. Gonzalo is a key example of charity in the play. Initially, Gonzalo aids Prospero, when he is expelled from his kingdom, by providing him with food, drinks, and books on magic. When Alonso bewails that his son is allegedly dead, it is Gonzalo who consoles him by saying the island may yet be nice to them. Prospero also is considerate and forgiving. In the end, he demonstrates no vengeance to his enemies but instead amiably forgives them for their wrongdoings, after they ask forgiveness.

This theme of forgiveness is seen in act four, scene one almost immediately with the words of Prospero to Ferdinand "If I have too austerely punish'd you, / your compensation makes amends". It is also far from Prospero's initial attitude. Prospero goes through the motions of forgiveness, but his sincerity sometimes is lost. We see a grand masque after the forgiveness of Ferdinand in act four, and in the next act, we see a rather lame apology and acceptance. The comparison of nature and society in The Tempest is another essential subject. Caliban embodies a beast from nature and when compared to the just and civilized Prospero, one realizes the definite differences. However, Antonio and Sebastian, have been shaped by society and Caliban measures more favorable when compared to these two. A civilized man is favored over a crude beast, but a natural beast outshines a wanton outcome of society. The masque element of the play is also a very important theme, which incorporates the musical and visually stimulating elements that the reader sees throughout the play.

The use of flowery images such as "Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas/ Of wheat, rye.../ Thy turfy mountain" adds to the pleasure of the spectacle Charlotte Olympia Birthday Virgo Zodiac Smoking Slipper In Beige. The masque also breaks up the action for the reader and eliminates the notion of the play being morbid. This positive feel foretells of a happy ending. There is a human issue to consider. Prospero is a master and a Duke, but above all, he is a father. He demonstrates his love for his daughter by his constant warnings "if thou dost break her virgin knot before/ All sanctimonious ceremonies may/ with full and holy rite.../ no sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall.../ but barren hate". This indeed sounds like a threat, but it is easy to note that a father who loves his daughter is worried about her well-being. This human element propels the play to another level; that of empathy.

The use of magic throughout the play is very prominent and in this scene, the rest of the play's mild evidence of it is all brought together - "Spirits, which by mine art/ I have from their confines called to enact/ My present fancies". Prospero is clearly letting us know here, halfway through the masque, that this amazing spectacle is the pinnacle of his magical career. Throughout the play we have been treated to the tempest storm itself and now we see almost the climax of Prospero's magical ability. A feeling that could have been persistent in the reader's mind throughout act four (that of Prospero's power only reducing), is shown in act five where Prospero says in conclusion "Now my charms are all o'erthrown". A striking note in the play is that there is a relationship between each theme and the rest of the play.

Shakespeare chronicles the play through a very poetic style of writing which brings a very happy and enchanting mood through most of the play. For the most part the nobles speak in verse. Ariel, as a spirit, shows more variety: in giving information to his master, he will also speak in the conventional blank verse, as he does at length in condemning the "three men of sin" in III, iii. In other situations, or when he is expressing himself more spontaneously, Ariel will employ short lyrics, which we may suppose (from other characters' responses) to be sung or chanted. Caliban, surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly), is also very poetic in language for the most part. It is clearly seen when he curses Prospero and when he contemplates about the pros and cons of language and its use to him.

At certain times, though, the tone becomes more serious, such as when Antonio and Sebastian plot murders, and the mood can also get quite comical, such as when the reader follows the drunken Stephano. In all the scenes involving interaction between Miranda and Ferdinand, there is a more romantic style of writing. For example, Ferdinand exclaims to Miranda, I, beyond all limit of what else I the world, do love, prize, honor you? (Act.3 Sc.1). Shakespeare's graceful style of writing gives a smooth tone throughout the play.

If you found this synopsis of "The Tempest" peeking your interest to attend a / season, and will be traveling to the Midwest, make sure to make arrangements to attend The Michigan Shakespeare Festival.

Direct Success With A Computer Programming Degree by Andy West
A computer programming degree is one of the most sought after degrees in the field of information technology. While it is often mistaken as one of the easier areas of IT, the truth of the matter is: those who do not have an aptitude for detail or the ability to think in an abstract manner may not find it as easy as they assume it is. A computer programmer is one who, like other hands on vocations, must work with extreme precision and craftsmanship.

At the same time, many people choose computer programming because it is not a deep or multi faceted subject as that of chemistry, physics or other material sciences post by haiyan701. While computer science has its own theories, it is not the center of the world for computer programming. Many enjoy computer programming for its physical, hands on approach.

One of the things that can make earning a computer programming degree much easier is a natural tendency for paying attention to detail. Unknown to many, computers are simple machines that will only do as they are instructed. A programmer whose job is to set forth directives knows that leaving out even the smallest part of information can cause major problems.

Another helpful skill to have is that of a good memory Charlotte Olympia Birthday Leo Zodiac Smoking Slipper In Orange. The number of variables that go into a computer program concerning syntax, functions, bugs, solutions and much more can be quite staggering. However, the more information and data one can remember on their own, the more successful their career will be.

Some would say the most crucial skill for this line of work is being able to keep a number of complex working systems in mind all at once. While this will take some time and skill to master, it is one of the great traits of a computer programmer. This ability to think abstractly can help with programs exhibiting up to 1,000,000 or more lines of code Charlotte Olympia Birthday Sagittarius Zodiac Suede Smoking Slipper In Mustard.

Typically, a Bachelor's degree is required for many entry-level positions in this field. Those who graduate with a Bachelor's degree will have training in analytics and the implementation of computer systems as well as maintenance and even design. With this type of computer programming degree one may find themselves with career opportunities in software programming, network programming or website programming.

A master's degree in computer programming allows graduates to implement high-level software programs. Because of the ever-changing world of technology, they often design software for business environments that greatly rely on technology as well. While being trained in a number of different programs, those with Master's degrees also put their leadership skills into use as the head or director of IT departments.

Whether opting for a Bachelor's or Master's, many in this field find they have the benefit of one of the highest earning powers of any industry available. With such a heavy dependence on computers and technology, the demand for such professionals is in just about every area on the map. There is no doubt that this is a strong profession with a solid future.

This type of degree means always getting to be at the forefront of the latest changes. Programmers must also earn certifications in certain programs and update them regularly to keep up with the newest technologies. Many in this field enjoy the opportunity to continue learning and the ongoing training needed in this fast paced world.

A computer programming degree encompasses so much that many in this field find their career constantly evolving right along with technology. There are so many different areas in which to branch out and grow, there is no worry of ever becoming bored or getting stuck in a rut. Programmers have the fulfillment that comes with seeing their work have a positive effect.

How To Get Started In Home Schooling Home schooling has been around for centuries. The beginning of schooling actually started in the home and then moved into outside schoolhouses. A homeschool is where children are taught by a parent or parents without the outside influence or interference of the school system. There are many variations on a homeschool but all fellowships basic rule of no outside interference. Home schooling is legal in all 50 US states with each state having set guidelines and rules about the homeschool process. Getting started in home schooling will require the parent to do some research ahead of time, so they know exactly what laws apply to them and what they need to do to get the curriculum underway.The reasons parents choose to homeschool their children vary. Some parents site research like home schoolers placed in the 89th to 90th percentile in national standardized testing. Others state their reasons as being able to provide religious studies and building strong family bonds. Other parents look at the quality of homeschool and feel they have more control over the curriculum and content of the materials studied in addition to knowing their children will be safe post by haiyan701. There is also the factor of flexibility that draws some families to homeschool. Flexibility not only refers to time, but methods as well. There are many good reasons to homeschool and each family should decide based on the reasons they feel are best for their family.Getting started in homeschool involves quite a bit of research and studying before homeschool even begins. Parents looking to home school their child or children need to first find local and state home school groups. These groups will be able to provide you the best information on home schooling in your state. You can also go online and find homeschool websites where you can discuss anything relating to home schooling Charlotte Olympia Birthday Gemini Zodiac Smoking Slipper In Sky Blue. They can offer you wealth's of information and help. The more you research and talk to others about homeschool the more you will be able to learn what you want to do in your homeschool curriculum and how to avoid common problems that may come up.Home schooling is a broad term. There are many techniques that fit under the term home schooling. There are many different styles of home schooling that you can use Charlotte Olympia. The following list describes the most common types of home schooling:Structured - This works like a public school, in that, it follows a schedule throughout the day. For example, math would be done at a certain time, English at another and so on.Interest-initiated- This approach is based on what is happening at the current time. For example, if it is snowing, you may chose to revolve the days curriculum around snow or if someone in your family has chickenpox, you may wish to do studies on that disease. This can be very unstructured or structured depending on your choices.Learning-style- This method is based on each child's learning stylePhilosophical- Using educational philosophies and studies to mold a curriculum is the basis for this method.Accommodating- For families with special needs this approach works around those needs.Community- Using outside groups and learning areas to teach the children is what this method is about.These are just some of the methods used in home schooling. Some people may find a mixture of these works best for them. Home schooling is all about tailoring the process to the child, so do the research and find the methods that work best for your family.<

Chicago Schools Opens Its First Virtual Elementary School by Patricia Hawke - ArticleCity.com
The Illinois State Board of Education has approved the state�s first virtual public elementary school, the Chicago Virtual Charter School. The Board acted against State Superintendent Randy Dunn�s recommendation to disapprove the Chicago schools application, as well as against the opposition of the powerful Chicago Teachers Union, by voting a five-to-four approval.

Though virtual schools already exist in the United States, they usually are high schools post by haiyan701. Several states, however, prohibit virtual charter schools, such as Indiana, Tennessee and New York. South Carolina goes one step further by prohibiting any home-based instruction at its charter schools.

Opposition to the Chicago schools� new virtual elementary school stem from a variety of areas. Here are just a few:

� Computers will replace teachers and/or reduce their role in education, eliminating many teacher positions.

� The one-on-one attention that students may receive in a physical classroom setting will be lost.

� Virtual students in the Chicago schools will not receive enough social interaction, stunting their socialization skills Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats.

Proponents believe the Chicago schools new virtual institution may give some children a chance to succeed, where traditional schools already have failed. The state board�s Chairman Jesse Ruiz noted that he received many compelling letters from parents, pleading for an alternative approach for their Chicago schools children.

Another issue that faced the state board is the current Illinois law on charter schools, which states they must be �non-home based�. It was for this reason that State Superintendent Dunn had recommended the new Chicago schools� application be denied. This added more fuel to the Teachers Union�s argument against approving the school.

State board members and proponents argued that the charter school laws were enacted in the 1990s, before lawmakers could have anticipated the growth of technology that makes a virtual school possible. Chicago schools General Counsel Patrick Rocks told the board that the restrictions on home-based charter schools were from concerns that home schools would attempt to reposition themselves as charter schools in order to secure public funding.

Charter schools are part of the Chicago schools system and are given more flexibility in staffing, curriculum and other areas � similar in theory to home schools. They receive public funding per student, causing the lawmakers concern over a possible redefinition of home schools. Rocks presented board members with letters from several of the lawmakers who enacted the law that stated their intent was not to block Internet-based schooling.

After the vote, Teachers Union President Marilyn Stewart vowed to take �swift and appropriate� action to stop or block the opening of the school. Rocks noted that it was very unlikely that the Union could mount any viable legal challenge.

The Chicago schools� new virtual institution opens September 13, 2006. Already about 300 families have applied for their children to attend, and the school can accept another 300 students, according to Sharon Hayes, head of the school.

Once enrolled, the Chicago schools families receive desktop computers, workbooks and other student materials. The Chicago schools students are required to meet weekly at a downtown Chicago learning center, located within DePaul University. The students interact regularly with teachers through emails, conferences and workshops, as well as interacting with teachers and other students at the learning center.

Chicago Virtual Charter School already scheduled to serve a wide variety of elementary Chicago schools children. They include gifted and special education students, as well as children who previously attended public, private and home schools. Their web site is at: <

Nursing School Rankings by Milos Pesic
The US News & World Report and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Report on Research Funding conduct nursing school rankings to measure the status of quality of different nursing schools nationwide. Various factors affect how nursing school rankings are determined but it all serves the purpose of providing more information to anyone in search of a nursing school.

As you evaluate different leaning institutions for your nursing education, nursing school rankings should supplement your own research. First, determine which specific nursing program you wish to enter and then based on that look at nursing schools in your chosen location that offer that specific program Charlotte Olympia. You can use nursing school rankings to find out the areas of strength of a particular school and if it matches your interest and needs.

In general, organizations determine nursing school rankings by gathering data through surveys that are prepared by professors and other scholars. Survey respondents can be present or past students or administrators and other high-ranking staff members of the nursing school. The survey contains both objective and subjective questions, and a complex method is used to process the answers. The statistics of the school are also one of the factors used to determine nursing school rankings.

For instance, the US News & World Report evaluates NLNAC (National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission) accredited nursing schools and their programs by surveying deans and other faculty staff members of each nursing school. The respondents will review and grade other schools based on a set of criteria Charlotte Olympia Birthday Pisces Zodiac Suede Smoking Slipper In Purple. Some of the factors that affect nurse school rankings are student-to-faculty ratios, rate of job placement after graduation and etcetera.

Nursing school rankings from the National Institutes of Health focus on the overall amount of grant funding received by the research programs of individual nursing schools. Research institutions and those who would like to pursue research work consider NIH rankings to be strong indicators of outstanding research programs.

Nursing school rankings are just one tool to help you evaluate a nursing school. There are so many other factors to consider when choosing a school such as the quality of student life, cost, availability of financial assistance, board passing rates, affordable housing on or near campus, among others post by haiyan701.

Be sure to look at the complete picture when making your decision. Get to know more about a certain nursing school by looking at the school�s website, requesting for an information packet or going to the school�s information session or open house.

Distance Learning, The Future Of Teaching Distance Learning Online Distance learning online has become the ultimate hi tech alternative to the old school classroom teaching. What is distance learning? Distance learning as a term is normally used when talking about teaching-learning where the student is located in one place in the world and the school/teacher in another place. Why use it? There are many good reasons why a school would choose to use distance learning or e-learning. 1. The school has students from a large geographical area post by haiyan701. And to be able to increase this area (and the number of possible students), without the need for a bigger campus or more dorms, the online long distance study methods works very well. 2. The school has multiple campus areas, located at large distances. This is one of the newest ways of using distance learning. The student actually is located in a campus area, but as the school has several campuses and the student (and teachers) would have to travel for hours to reach each one of them, the classes have been altered into distance learning experiences Charlotte Olympia Birthday Gemini Zodiac Smoking Slipper In Sky Blue. 3. Fewer teachers. This is possible as a teacher without travelling can teach in several places around the country (and the world) without leaving his or hers own room Charlotte Olympia! Tools used There are many different levels of technical tools as well as teaching methods applied when using distance learning. Everything from email and a simple bbs , to streamed live video and advanced meeting areas where students and teachers can work together in an interactive way. Tests and work papers can be mailed or fetched and re saved via filesharing directly from the schools servers. And by combining things like high resolution webcams and skype, the cooperation can be taken to a completely new and never before seen level. There will be a lot of advancements in the area of distance learning in the future. Who knows, your kids may even have the option to take some classes from home, using tools integrated in your tv in the future.<
