Teaching Workshops, Online Teachers Teaching
Most new teachers starting out in the classroom are aware that while it is important to raise academic standards of today’s youth in classroom all across America, it is the professional experience and support that they need especially in their first year of managing a classroom.
The Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative is a resourceful community of teachers which was designed by and for America’s teachers. It continues to remain a strong force supporting teachers’ efforts in the classroom through professional development workshops and distance learning and by sharing important and relevant information through email updates.
In addition, its community also shares concerns on classroom management issues and includes valuable tips and insights on both classroom management and lesson plans.

Ten Myths About Homeschooling and Anti-Homeschooling Excuses
Prospective homeschool parents have to face fears, doubts and myths that keep them from taking the decision to homeschool their children. This article is an attempt to do some myth-busting, dispel the fears and disqualify the anti-homeschooling excuses that prevent many parents from the awesome experience of homeschooling their families…(yes, not just the kids, the parents get HOME schooled too!)
1. I don’t get on with my kids/ My kids have bad attitudes/ My kids won’t listen to me.

The Fine and Performing Arts & Education
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world. (Paulo Freire)”
I see too many public service commercials-today-exhorting us to support the Performing and Fine Arts in public education. We, as a nation, have evidently become so low-brow, or unsophisticated, that we can no longer see the need for Art education in our schools. So now, we have our children pleading with us, on television commercials, to keep Art education alive. This is a sad state of affairs for us and our children, because art is what truly separates us from the beasts and allows us to rise above the mundane drudgery of life. As many others, I believe art should be at the center of education and not just because it’s good for us. Art stimulates a child’s cognitive and affective domains, as well as their motor skills, which leads to learning, discovery, creativity and motivation.

The Value Of Higher Education
n today’s world of technology and science, it is hard to underestimate the value of higher education. But, with the skyrocketing tuition fees, many doubt the necessity of continuing the education beyond high school. People, and especially those from low income households, are afraid of making a wrong carrier decision and end up being unable to pay off the loans received for the education.
Tuition and other fees associated with getting a higher education can be quite substantial. Tuition alone can be as high as $38,000 per year (Landmark College, Prutney, Vt.). And the cost of living, textbooks, supplies has to be added on top of that. This means that getting a college degree can cost as much as $200,000 or more! And that is quite expensive. Of course, not everyone would want to study at Landmark, but still the cost of studying at other private schools is not much lower.
