It is very difficult being a Teacher.

And if your communication is not sharp, you had it.

I find that all the answers are correct for the questions asked.

Though funny, it shows how sharp the young minds are and how meticulous the teacher should be.

You Tube For Teachers-a Good Educational Tool for Students,Teachers.

In Education on February 8, 2012 at 15:21

You Tube,-we have been using You Tube for entertainment and interesting videos.

You Tube’s teacing aid is more than adequate in meeting the requirements of Students and Teachers.

It has different sections for different subjects and also has appropriate  syllabus based for Primary, Secondary and College levels.

I have gone through the contents of lectures and they seem to be of good standard and I feel that Teachers and Students should make use of this service.

I have provided some information on some Best You Tube Teaching videos.

“YouTube for Schools lets schools access free educational YouTube videos while limiting access to other YouTube content. Students can learn from more than 400,000 educational videos, from well-known organizations like Stanford, PBS and TED, and from up-and-coming YouTube partners with millions of views, like Khan Academy, Steve Spangler Science and numberphile. Schools can also customize their YouTube for Schools experience, adding videos that are only viewable within their school network.

ART of learning-Study and Comments.

In Education on September 7, 2010 at 21:42

Too much intervention by people other than students and Teachers have made learning a complicated one.
Fundamentals are.
Read where produces the best result.You do not need others to tell you,including psychologists, where to read.Children know it best.Ask them to study well.Do not impose your ideas, for all you know your ideas may be wrong or the idea may not suit the child.Also do not set ‘long term goals’ and short-term goals.it only frustrates the child.
Do not compare the child with siblings and other children
There are some who can read well amid disturbance and noise;some in solitude.
But it is a fact Classical music improves concentration.In some cases loud rap music also does the job.
Some learn by part learning,some by whole learning,some by key words,some by mnemonics.The learner knows which is good for him.If not we can suggest the alternates and ask him/her to check all of these and choose what suits him/her.
Teaching with visuals ,anecdotes,actions all these improve learning process.
Also reading in the early hours of the day between 430am to 6am is the most effective in terms of retentive memory
Food that you take also has an important role to play
That food which is stale,reheated, too spicy,oily does not help learning.Moderate tastes with less oil and fresh cooked home food is the best( you may check my  blog filed under Health)
Teachers are to be a breed apart , for teaching is an art born out of passion, dedication and love of the children.Unless teachers have these attributes they are unfit to be teachers.Most important is the atmosphere at home-it must be calm and composed with out adults bickering like children in front of children.

Story:

As students around the country go back to school and hit the books, scientists are offering new insights into the best ways to study and learn, reports Benedict Carey in the Science Times Mind column. He writes:

In recent years, cognitive scientists have shown that a few simple techniques can reliably improve what matters most: how much a student learns from studying. The findings can help anyone, from a fourth grader doing long division to a retiree taking on a new language. But they directly contradict much of the common wisdom about good study habits, and they have not caught on.

For instance, instead of sticking to one study location, simply alternating the room where a person studies improves retention. So does studying distinct but related skills or concepts in one sitting, rather than focusing intensely on a single thing.

“We have known these principles for some time, and it’s intriguing that schools don’t pick them up, or that people don’t learn them by trial and error,” said Robert A. Bjork, a psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Instead, we walk around with all sorts of unexamined beliefs about what works that are mistaken.”

Police catch parents buying booze for Gold Coast Schoolies-CourierMail , Australia.

In Health on November 23, 2009 at 08:01

Drinking for any reason whatsoever is not good.Families are ruined because of Drinking.
Many take shelter under the argument that social drinking is good for it improves their business contacts and non drinkers are not accepted in the elite group.Those who drink are not elite but irresponsible people,at least in terms of health and and their families.
Others say it is good for health citing few researches.But there are other ways to improve health including taking healthy food and and going to bed early.
If parents, under the illusion of giving freedom to children, encourage drinking, are ruining their children and their families.

Parents, be Adults, not adolescents >.
PARENTS of Schoolies revellers are ignoring pleas from police, politicians and welfare leaders to stop buying alcohol for their underage children.
Police were forced to issue a $750 fine to the father of a former student of St Joseph’s Nudgee College who defied an order to tip out the alcohol bought for his underage son.

Police spotted the man unloading alcohol outside a Surfers Paradise apartment on Saturday afternoon, first issuing him with a caution, then ordering him to tip out the alcohol, before he defiantly declared: ”I’ll just go and get some more”.

Gold Coast police superintendent Jim Keogh described the incident as ”extremely disappointing”.

”It is irresponsible and in one instance, certainly, you had a parent who just openly defied police instruction and that is a real concern,” he said.

A number of tip-out orders were also issued against other parents.

Nudgee College dean of students Paul Begg said the incident was disappointing as students were taught about the impacts of alcohol and violence.

New figures show parents worry more about their children being bullied and the amount of time spent in front of the computer than drinking alcohol.

The Australia-wide survey commissioned by parenting group Generation Next found nearly half of all parents think it is OK to sometimes serve alcohol to a 16-year-old.

But alcohol and drug experts said children are too young to drink alcohol at 16 years of age, mostly because their brains were yet to be fully developed.

”In terms of brain development, it’s a key time and the evidence says quite clearly you should delay the onset of drinking for as long as possible.”

Asked about their concerns for their children, 60 per cent of parents were worried about bullying, 42 per cent feared their children were on the computer too long, 41 per cent were anxious about children having sex at a young age and 37 per cent worried about children using illegal drugs, while just 33 per cent nominated drinking alcohol.

Australian Medical Association Queensland President Dr Mason Stevenson said parents appeared to have their priorities wrong.

”It concerns me if any survey puts alcohol misuse further down the list when, medically speaking, it needs to be top of the list,” he said.

”It is our number one drug problem in Australia. Parents are grossly underestimating the problem and . . . the young person’s risk of harm.”

Gold Coast Schoolies Advisory Board chairman Mark Reaburn said parents had to set a better example.

”One parent paid a very expensive price,” he said. ”We know kids are going to consume alcohol at Schoolies, but the parents have to accept some responsibility as well.”

Police and Schoolies officials were happy with the overall behaviour of revellers on the Gold Coast. Of the 30 schoolies arrested on Saturday’s traditionally wild opening night, most were for drunk and disorderly or public nuisance offences, with just three drug arrests and none for violent crime.

Schoolies organisers issued about 20,000 wristbands for the exclusive schoolies-only entertainment hub, but only about 12,000 attended the venue, an alcohol-free beachfront area fenced off from ”Toolies” (older hangers-on) and other troublemakers.

There were 88 non-schoolies arrests on Saturday night, though Supt Keogh did not label them Toolies.
