Lately, I am hearing way too many people inappropriately using the word LIKE and I do not like it at all. Furthermore, our schools are not teaching the basic reading, writing, arithmetic, science and communication skills necessary to be competitive.
What follows is a basic curriculum in life that an adolescent should know before reaching adulthood. There will probably be other skills you can add to this list, so please do it.
USA voters cast their ballots for 435 House seats, 35 Senate spots, Governors along with a whole lot of state, local offices and issues. While folks are focused only with the US House and The Senate, the big story may be #USA Governors. @TheDemocrats may take a bunch of states, with serious implications for 2020 and the all-important issue of redistricting.
The US' top official overseeing student loans has now resigned, citing #WhiteHouse hostility to protecting borrowers. The US report cards for schools and school districts have been a sore source of controversy, which will only grow when the nation starts receiving overall grades this fall.
As the new school year approaches, voters should keep in mind that education funding remains on life support, while many schools are crumbling, but corporations received a huge #GOP tax cut, which was primarily pocketed by executives and shareholders, with little trickle down to workers.
NO Not BS, but PS as in Public Service. There are activists and organizers who have been extremely effective. One individual comes to mind, but there are others and many more are urgently needed.
Some public servants perfected the craft on the streets, responding to injustices by helping people to reach their goals.
Let's create an opportunity with an eye toward training folks to solve real-world problems in hopes to spread these ideas.
Who despite evidence to the contrary has tweeted confirmation that he is, in fact, a stable genius and is now proposing to merge US Department of Labor and Education? Is this a sinister plan to destroy both agencies?
According to Chronicle conducted research, Donald J. Trump has discussed higher-education policy sparingly. That tendency has largely continued since his inauguration as President Trump and appears to be shared by Betsy DeVos, his Cabinet member and Secretary of Education. http://www.chronicle.com
October 13, 2016: Mr. Trump gives his most substantive speech on higher education, at a rally in Columbus, Ohio, where he suggests his own income-based repayment plan, and says he will “reconsider” tax-exempt endowments.

Do not get discouraged, showing empathy takes repetition to make it a habit.
Avoid "why" questions because this comes across as accusatory.
Others can see through insincerity and your relationship could end.

Do you want to economize your six figure college education? You may first wish to consider enrolling into a junior, otherwise known as a community college.
Many people who are planning to go to a university or four year college in the fall are worried about the high cost of tuition and the staggering student loan debt. Fortunately, if you're smart about it, a good education can be achieved without these pitfalls.
As we celebrate the 16th Annual International Education Week, a joint initiative of the US Department of State and Department of Education. As noted on the Department of State website, International Education Week is "an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide" and helps us to prepare for "a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States."
Given the recent and tragic events in Paris, the importance of initiatives such as International Education Week is underscored. At its core, International Education is about the building of bridges between people and cultures for mutual understanding, discussion, and dialogue.
CITY IMAGES hopes that all of you will be able to encourage each and every student to participate, and look forward to growing our International Education Week in the coming years and appreciate your continued support.
