Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and maybe even a new school.

According to the American Obesity Association, an astounding 64.5 percent of adult Americans (about 127 million) are categorized as obese or overweight. According to the website's statistics, obesity causes at least 300,000 excess deaths and is responsible for 100 million dollars in healthcare costs each year for obese and overweight Americans.

The problem is that Americans are fat. And...

I remember the day I decided to become extremely successful. It was in my penultimate year in medical school. Up until that time I'd been passing my exams, just sailing along, not putting in much effort and not getting much out as a result. The funny thing (funny wierd, that is, not 'funny - ha ha') was that without realizing it, that same mediocre mindset had permeated other aspects of my life. I felt deeply dissatisfied and wasn't enjoying myself. I was also in the habit of blaming others or external circumstances when thing things didn't go my way.One day I just felt fed up. I realized I didn't want to go on living like this. I knew I was capable of doing better than I was doing. It...

Recently I read of a new website where teachers can post and sell their lesson plans to recover the time that they had spent in developing these plans. On the surface, this sounds reasonable and why would anyone object to teachers making a little more money through such a capitalist venture and leveraging their intellectual capitol?However this question is much more about understanding the importance of retaining intellectual capital (knowledge management) within the educational system and how this demonstrates questionable ethics on part of the teachers.Consider the following scenario:I am an instructional designer (person who writes training programs) and employed full time. Part of my job is to...

[The first of two articles discussing the availability of math and science materials on the Internet.]I heard it a lot in the 1980s and 1990s. It is now 20 years later and I still hear it:Recent studies indicate the American educational system is failing to provide a sufficient level of math and science instruction for our children. Therefore, we are falling behind in the global race to prepare the next generation of engineers and scientists. I'm not sure if it was true then; I'm not sure if it is true now. But, at the bottom line, it doesn't matter what the studies indicate. What matters is that we DO something to address math and science education, whether we're lacking in it or not. We need to...

The pros and cons of homeschooling are many, but do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? With total control over your child's homeschooling needs you have the flexibility to teach your child values that cannot be taught in a public classroom. On the other hand your time will not be as free as it used to be.The education a child can gain from a loving and concerned parent will be much greater than is possible to receive in a public school system. You don't need a teaching credential or even a college degree, just the desire to give your child a quality education. If there are subjects that you don't feel comfortable teaching it is possible to hire a tutor for those classes. And on the positive...

Do you remember days back in high school when you got your very first job? Possibly you drove around to every burger, pizza and fast food joint in town, to find out if they were hiring. Sure, we all do it. How else can we make money to supe-up our cars? Its most likely to end up at a local grocery store or serving at the local diner. These are known as jobs for students. A majority of huge corporations don't tend to hire 16 year olds who lack a high school diploma. In fact, this is what drives us to work hard and do well in college. After an experience of these "jobs for students," we're so anxious to move up and away from their crappy hours, and headaches. And not to forget the terrible pay at the...

Nearly every organization I have ever worked for or with has a serious problem with training. They concentrate on training rather than learning.The first indication of a problem is that the mediums chosen to impart learning are the poorest at retaining learning but are the easiest to organise.Learning retention rates vary depending on the medium that is used to impart the learning. The usual training methods of lectures, reading, audio visual and demonstration (including role plays) have average retention rates of five, ten, twenty and thirty percent, respectively.A chief financial officer revising these numbers would not have an anticipation of a high rate of return from training.The average...

My long-time enjoyment of earth science, especially when it included fossil activities, had me doing earth science activities for kids from the time my own children were little ones. So when my middle school asked me to pick something to teach for six weeks that I just enjoyed, this was the first thing that came to mind. It was set up to be more like a club than a class, so while there were definitely learning goals, the most important goal was to have fun and enjoy ourselves. I knew I should include fossil activities in my lesson plans. There had to be a lot of hands-on kids' activities with an emphasis on fun.When I got my class list, I saw immediately that I would need to do some revisions in my...

Grammar speaks of events occurring in three plains. The past was, the future will happen, and we live now, the present. However, operating in the information age, the age of instant global communication, makes the future now. Gates [1] wrote we are citizens of an information society. He noted that past generations, and past societies found ways to gather information, get more work done, increase life spans, and improve their standards of living. Time was not as critical in those past ages. A message from a ruler may take months to arrive by sea courier. The Pony Express was six days. Airmail was cross-country overnight. The time span between thought and action are virtually unidentifiable today...

At first glance, this product manual's title (Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle) was a bit distracting. While the 300+ page manual does a good job of explaining how increased muscle strength helps lose body fat and why its more important to lose body fat versus lose weight; I wasn't sure about the content of the product manual until I read it in its entirety. The overall premise is to burn the body fat with exercise and feed the muscle with good nutrition plans. The author, Tom Venuto, is a body builder and that helps explain some of the direction of the manual.On the plus side, Tom's instructional product manual has a tremendous amount of information including goal setting, discussions on meal...

IntroductionLearning is a development and formative process, evolving and changing over time due to various influencing factors like criticism received, self-analytical processes and other forms of feedback. Eaton (1938), as quoted by Snelbecker (1974) stated that "when a man has learned anything he is, for a time at least, changed in his readiness to deal with this or that in his environment. He has become, with respect to certain things, events, meanings, as the case may be, differently sensitive, differently percipient, differently disposed as to the forms of his responsive behaviour, whether in action, in understanding, or in feeling". It can occur largely, independent of institutional...
