Free Bizpost To Be Upgraded

Even beyond this, school is repetitive. I learned the same Civil War facts in fifth, eighth, and eleventh grade. I think I read The Giver in multiple English classes. And this is just the stuff it’s embarrassing to have repeated. The actually important skills - how to write essays, how to cite sources - get deliberately repeated year after year. (I still have no idea how to cite a source properly, except a vague memory that something called “MLA Format” was very important, and that there might have been another thing called “Chicago Style” unless I am confusing it with pizza. When I actually need to cite something, I hit the “Cite” button on the top right of PubMed and do whatever it says.) So my prediction is that an average student could miss a year or two of school without major long-term effects. Their standardized test score would be lower at the end of the two years they missed than some other student who had been in school the whole time. But after a short period they would equalize again. I don’t think you need to burn yourself out working overtime to send your kid to a private school, I don’t think you need to risk your immunocompromised kid’s health to send her to the classroom, I think you can just chill. I want to present some of the evidence that makes me think this.

students have final exams starting today, which for many parents means hand-wringing, nagging and anxiety. Other parents play it cool, supporting their students but letting them decide what and how much to prepare. What do you do when your child has a big test coming up? Do you fret about the grade, nag about your child's study habits, worry about the future or scream your head off? Or are you the calm, mild-mannered type? Do you put out some snacks for your student and wish them luck, letting him or her choose how to spend their time preparing? After all, school is their responsibility.
