One key challenge educators face is the importance of
encouraging girls to excel in math, science and computer science
studies. As technology continues to drive the world of business,
those challenged or generally disinterested in science and math
will be left behind. In fact, that's exactly what's happening.
Although women make up approximately 50% of the general work
force in the U.S., they only represent 9% of workers in the
science and engineering community. With such a low percentage ...

Fast track your results, develop positive learning behaviour,
establish purpose and design goals that motivate, with "study
skills"!
What is the most important skill? I'll give you a clue - you're

extremely important pathway of learning.
It's "thinking". The most important skill involves learning how

It is estimated that there are over 2.5 million people who are
diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. The majority of these
are boys. As a mother of a boy and a teacher, I have seen first
hand the evidence of this, and I have to ask why we, as a
nation, are content to medicate these beautiful, brilliant
children instead of questioning the methods of teaching and
choosing alternative educational settings for them. Wouldn't it
be easier to reform our educational system than to come up ...

Q. My students have asked me for a popular quiz. Can you
recommend one?
A. The answer to that question depends upon what your students
mean when they say "popular".
Do they mean a quiz that can tell them if they are "popular", or
do they mean a quiz that is popular because everyone likes
taking it?
Hmm, maybe I can craft one answer that covers both options. You
see, a popular quiz, also know as a popularity quiz, it very
popular in itself. Starting at about third grade the concept of

Being a gifted/learning-disabled child has afforded me the
unexpected privilege of discovering new regions of my brain that
few have ever explored. Because of this, I've come to look at
things upside down and backwards. This tendency comes in handy
while teaching Language Arts at the Brideun School for
Exceptional children. Brideun kids are unique learners who have
blockages in their input or output capabilities. Our job as
teachers at Brideun is to find alternative pathways in order to
get to ...

Flashes of memory stream into my consciousness. They take me
back thirty years plus. I was a boy then, a newcomer to a poor
and tough neighborhood. My parents, of moderate means and daring
to a fault, had decided to move there after my father had
accepted an editing job in the federal government. They had
taken a lease on a low-rent brick house, which was also
run-down, covered in filth, and littered with trash. I do not
mince my words: Previous tenants had been pigs that got along
with bugs ...

by Patrick Jackson © Patrick Jackson - All Rights Reserved 2004
=================================== Learning Spanish Grammar and
the Verb "Gustar"
If there's one verb that gave me a lot of trouble when I first
started learning Spanish grammar that verb was "gustar." Many of
the Spanish lessons and Spanish classes that I took in order to
learn Spanish only confused me even more about the use of
"gustar." "Gustar" means "to be pleasing to" or "to ...
