I'm a freshman student, and my first semester has come to a close. All throughout middle school and elementary school, I was a straight A student. But during my first month at high school, school shooting threats were happening, and my parents made the decision to pull me out. I was placed in a homeschooling program, and I felt pretty confident about it. However, when I got my progress report back at the end of the semester, i have all B's. I really, really need help, and I'm about to breakdown. What do i need to do to become a straight-A student again.
So the new trend as of late is large corporations, primarily technology companies, that fund classes at public schools. They claim it is to promote education and technology awareness but at the same time they heavily push their products. For example, amazon or google will fund these courses and then give "student" memberships to have the student be able to use the company's products.
It does seem well intentioned but at the same time it is quite obvious they are basically trying to take over public school curriculum and basically turn it into a sort of "product placement" type advertisement. They do the same thing by offering "coding lessons" or "coding bootcamps" but these courses are heavily biased towards using the sponsor's products exclusively it is built right into the lesson plans.
What does everyone think of this?
Ok this is more of a me thing, but I’m a freshman in high school, and for the final for my health class we are doing a presentation, it has to be on something we haven’t looked at in class. I’m kinda interested in snakes so I thought I would do my presentation on the effect of different snake venoms on the body. So I create the slides, with jokes, less words and more pictures, i memorize all the lines, try to have comedy to make it as engaging and entertaining as I can in about 3 minutes. It goes very well I got the entire room laughing, I even got the teacher laughing at my snake jokes (my teacher almost never laughs at anything so this was a huge accomplishment). I felt very proud, and I went back to my table and everyone there was like “good job, and it wasn’t boring at all”. Compared to other presentations which were them just reading off text from a white background. I got my grade, and it was a 22/25, which is a 88% for a final, which is good, yeah. But his comments were “you have to many jokes, be more serious”. The thing about a 22/25 is I had a group presentation before that, and all I had to do was one slide where I just say like a paragraph, I have some notes on a notecard and I just said like a paragraph, It has some lame pictures on a white background, it got a 23/25. Me not even trying got a better grade then my final that was funny, engaging and I think I got a lot of points down, but this one paragraph on a white background did better then that. And it really made me just not feel good about the education system. (Sorry this is so long, I was really pissed, and I’m kinda ranting).

Hello! I'm working on a research project focused on the use of school incentive systems. I'm looking to critique how while incentive systems can help enforce routines and temporarily fix behavior, they can backfire on students, and in particular, not reward those who nessesarily deserve the reward.

Hi all. High school drop out speaking. I dropped out when I was 17, and started online school to finish up my high school and get a diploma. Here’s my issue. Before I start, let me make it perfectly clear that I am fully aware this is all my fault. I’m just searching for resources that might help me, or maybe some kind of online tutoring service.
I’ve totally been bullcrapping my way through my hard subjects. Whether by looking up the answers, or having people help me. To add context, I was diagnosed with a learning disability at 17, and never really got the help I needed in school and never had access to outside resources, because my parents just thought I was lazy. To be entirely honest, I have an elementary school understanding of math. All other subjects I am generally good at, except math. The problem I am now faced with, is I have to take a cumulative exam at the actual location for my online school, where everything is monitored. I obviously can’t have anyone help me, and can’t look up answers while my computer is being monitored.
Obviously, I’m not going to pass this test, and I’m not going to get my diploma if I can’t pass it. So if anyone has any online resources that might help, or knows of a good tutoring service, you’d be saving my skin.
P.S. apologies for this post being long, and apologies if I posted this in the wrong thread. I’m new to Reddit, don’t quite know how everything works yet.
Dear r/education. I will be starting an Economics & Finance course this October but I have a concern related to my preparation. The high-school maths programme in my country was not on the same page with other western countries' so my knowledge of some of the things that I need to know is not great. I don't know how to do calculus very well and I am not the best with functions in general. I am okay with the other things but it would still be a good idea to revise everything because I graduated 2 years ago. Can you recommend me a textbook which goes on a revision of the main mathematics that I would need for an Economics course?
I'm working with a private school to revise/replace their standards, and cast vision for our social studies department. In your opinion, what state has the best standards to review while we pursue a new framework.
Studying 101: Studying Smarter for Biology 102
I'm sure all of us have done it... countless and countless of hours of writing down notes, reviewing material and studying. If you are a student or are going to school you can definitely understand the amount of time and reviewing it takes so that you are able to pass your next quiz or test.
In my situation, I'm currently studying for a class that I'm taking called "Biology 102: Genes, Behavior & Evolution" and preparing for the mid-term we having coming on Monday. In order for me to be successful for this test and this class, I have to learn how to study smarter and not harder.
The process of studying for this exam consists of starting from Week 1 and the lecture notes I've been taking every week. Making sure I review those notes and going over week-by-week each of the topics discussed in class can definitely help as this mid-term only consist of material from the first few weeks of class. Another study tip that can help me in this class would be going over the materials in our lab that we go to twice each week. Materials such as our Biology Journal and the textbook bought from the bookstore can definitely help me with this test as the lab material is essentially your work being demonstrated through science. Being able to work on something by hand and creating the connection between one topic to the other will absolutely make sure that I do well on this test.
Most importantly...
A very smart studying tip that will help me and I'm sure every other student out there.
Make sure to get a good night sleep, eat a good meal and drink a lot of water. Things like this will dramatically help in the course of studying and doing well on a test as sleep deprivation and being hungry or thirsty can affect a person's mood, energy level, ability to focus. This can also affect a student's ability to concentrate and learn and when affected can affect your academics.
Overall, after countless and countless of hours of writing down notes and reviewing material to help you get prepared for your next quiz or test. Make sure to get a good night sleep, eat a good meal and drink a lot of water. This will all affect your ability to concentrate and learn and when done right, I'm sure your next quiz or test will be very successful.
My child is currently attending an elementary school in lausd and the principle as well as the teacher isnt taking her serious, when comes to her conserns of her teacher dismissing her and belittling her in class. I would like advice on what steps to take to get a resolution to this problem. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I have been in the EOC program all my life, I'm currently in my 11th grade. I do want to go to art school, and most colleges required a SAT score. I'm am terrified by this because none of my classes have not prepared me for it. Should I do my own studies? Or should I talk to a counselor?
In my opinion, people forget who taught them how to read and write. If they didn’t have parents who were involved in their childhood development, it was most likely a Teacher who taught them how to survive in the world. Why are the people who teach us how to live, the lowest paid? Aren’t they technically qualified to be the highest paid?
What's your opinion

I don't know if it's even right to contact some officials about this but I had a pretty rough semester and am probably gonna fail three courses. In my english exam I only got 56/100 because I somehow missed an entire section worth 25 marks. I don't know why but it could be because of the meds I'm taking for my anxiety, some of the side effects are Lightheadiness, Nausea, Memory loss. But yeah I'm only in 9th grade and I don't wanna retake them like I'll probably pass Math since I did good on the two eqao, just have the final exam left but don't know about french. I'm only able to take one course in summer school or get enough credits, don't know how it works but please give me advice.
I live in Ontario and my school board is KPR.
Does anybody here work for FLVS? If so what are your thoughts? How does the workload and benefits compare?
Thank you
I met a person online (On the other side of the US) and I found out she only has a 2nd grade education level despite being 17. This is due to her being homeschooled, but her parents to not focusing any of their attention onto her. I want to help her in any way I can, even if it takes all of my free time. Does anyone have any useful tips for me? It should be noted she’s extremely embarrassed about it and has depression. She also does not have access to a computer, only a phone. I’m willing to spend as much time as needed to help, along with being willing to pay for any apps or textbooks she needs (I’ve known her for a long time, I trust her). I’m 17 as well, a senior in high school.
From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Philosophy for Children:
"Nevertheless, because they lack background in the formal study of philosophy, many teachers are reluctant to encourage the philosophical thinking of their students. Their fears, however, are exaggerated. Familiarity with some of the standard philosophical literature might be desirable, but it is not necessary for bringing Philosophy for Children into the classroom. What is required is the ability to facilitate philosophical discussion. For this, it is much more important that teachers have some philosophical curiosity themselves than a familiarity with academic philosophical literature. Like their students, teachers unfamiliar with the discipline of philosophy may nevertheless have an aptitude for philosophical thinking—or at least a knack for recognizing when others are engaged in philosophical thought."

I currently have Bachelor's of Science in Software Engineering with a minor in Economics and I'm interested in pursuing a Master's degree overseas. I'm interested in a university that provides even partial aid and primarily English lecturers (although I am open to learning a language). Regarding studies, I'm not limited to software engineering but definitely would like recommendations for Europe Universities that offer a Master's degree to international students in programmes related to technology or business management .
Hello,
I am an administrator in an urban school (Springfield, MA). We are having our worst year in a long time regarding student attendance. I am reaching out in the hopes that someone has an attendance initiative that they/their admin has implemented that WORKED. I've done research/google searches, but I'd like to hear from some of you folks. Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but feel free to direct me elsewhere if necessary. Anyways, I work with a client who has severe mental health issues. He is unable to attend public chool due to his rapid successions through crisis. He wants to now look for any [free] service that allows him to go after his diploma at home - or at least out of the public school setting. I've searched far and wide for various resources, and to no avail. For the few schools that offer what he's looking for, their enrollment period has ended for this current school year. Does anyone have any advice or links to resources that could help? I would greatly appreciate it!
it would be much appreiated if you tell me your feedback about this مدرسه السلام الاعدادية الثانويه المشتركة and you can check all the schools in Assiut Thank you
Any similar experiences?
I already have problems dealing with stress so I've kept postponing telling them because I don't think I can handle their reactions. I'm trembling at the thought.

I've been reading up a bit on the decline of humanities majors in conjunction with increased STEM enrollment (recently documented at my alma mater) and got to thinking if this might have greater economic/societal impacts than we realize.
Historically (and very generally speaking), left-brained people have gone into STEM while right-brained people have gone into liberal arts/humanities. Our modern labor pool and economy was built around this biological blueprint. So job demand for teachers/lawyers/journalists/etc. on one side and doctors/scientists/engineers/etc. on the other side have largely been satisfied because people sought careers in disciplines in which they had interest and excelled.
Since the Great Recession and the ensuing digital revolution, there's been a massive push for an increased STEM labor force. Much of this has to do with how rapidly technology is currently evolving, but a lot of it also has to do with lingering economic trepidation since the recession. So essentially our education system + labor pool is starting to undergo a massive shift largely driven by personal financial/economic security, rather than what individuals are inherently gifted at and interested in. In other words, asking a child what they want to be when they grow up is becoming an increasingly meaningless question. Rather, I fear we're teaching our kids to wonder what job will pay them the most when they grow up.
My curiosity is whether this will all come to a head in the next few decades. That is, will STEM fields be saturated with graduates who are inherently less competent at their jobs? And if so, could this, coupled with unmet demand for jobs in the humanities lead to declines in productivity and thus the economy?
Now, I want to make clear that I'm not saying left and right-brained people should be confined to those respective disciplines and can't explore/learn other fields. I also don't dispute that job skills should evolve with societal changes. But we're all born with innate interests and talents for a reason, which I'm afraid are being suppressed, largely because of economic trends. My worry is that we'll have a huge opportunity cost from a large segment of the workforce who would've otherwise excelled in other roles.
Be curious to know what others think about this assessment or if I'm just completely off my rocker here.
tl;dr - Biology (left vs. right brained) has largely shaped our modern labor pool; the current increase in STEM/decrease in humanities will mess with that.
Hey,
I hope to find help from teachers / people who watch over students in boarding schools.
My boyfriend wants to be a teacher and is starting his first job as a boarding school guardian, doing evenings and nights few days a week. Thing is : after dinner the boys have to study for some time and some of them really are noisy and show irrespect.
Do you have advice to give him so he can manage the tough ones?
(i told him to pee on them to show dominance but i'm not sure he'll try haha)
