Great website, correct function

Sometimes for parents who see their children come home from public school angry and antagonistic to school work and learning, we naturally assume that it is against the nature of a child to want to learn anything.  But if you think back to the years before you sent your little one off to school, the opposite was the case.  As an infant, your child was a virtually learning machine and he or she seemed to live and breathe learning new things.  That natural curiosity and desire to find out more about the world was as deeply a part of your little one’s being as the desire for food and love.

So what happened?  Does the love of learning die out when a child passes out of infancy?  Actually, if you watch your young child or teenager closely, the love of learning is still  there.  But what has happened is because public schools destroy the zeal for learning at an academic level, children channel their enthusiasm for learning into venues that understand the mind of youth better than schools do it seems.  That is why video games and television are so successful.  It isn’t that these tools of communication succeed just because the things they talk about are fun.  They succeed because they nurture and encourage a love of exploration and learning in ways the public schools long ago forgot (or never knew) how to do.

There is a tragic paradox to public school.  The paradox is that they are charged with the highest calling in society which is to educate our youth.  When we turn our children over to them, they have a tremendous opportunity to capture that zeal for learning and take it year by year forward so the child never ceases being fascinated by knowledge and the love of gaining more of it.

But sadly, almost without exception, public schools squander this golden opportunity to take young minds brimming with the thrill of learning and take them further and further never damaging the precious enthusiasm they have for knowing new things. Instead, within a short time after starting public school, your child will lose his or her love of learning and become angry, bitter and resentful of the school and of you for sending him there.

Part of the reason for this failure comes from the fact that public schools by law must handle a huge amount of children.  So to maintain order, extensive crowd control and discipline systems are put in place.  Somewhere along the way, schools abandon their core principle which is to teach young minds and to nurture their love of knowledge and they exchange that for order, discipline and the ability to follow rules.

Children are not stupid.  They can see that the institution is not at all interested in academics and is all about order and keeping everybody marching in a line and they turn against the school.  But then the schools even rob the classroom of time to subject children to hour after hour of “ethical training” in anti drug, anti sex and anti discrimination assemblies and lesson plans.  Read more...

Are you interested in improving your appearance?  If you are, you are not alone.  In the United States, a large number of men and women wish that they were taken more seriously at work, at home, by their friends, and by their families. If this is a wish of yours, you may want to start making changes.  One of the many ways that you can go about doing so is by dressing for success. Dressing for success will show those that you know and love that you are a serious, professional person.

When it comes to dressing for success, many men and women find it to be easier said than done.  When dressing for success, there are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as your gender, your reasons for wanting to improve your appearance, as well as your budget. These factors, combined with others, make it possible for a number of individuals to make dress for success mistakes.  These mistakes may actually hinder your ability to create a “new and improved you.”  To prevent yourself from making these common dress for success mistakes, you will want to continue reading on.

One of the biggest mistakes made by those looking to dress for success is assuming that the hottest items in the fashion world will make them successful. This is important to remember, as it will not always.  Fashion comes in a number of different formats. It also depends on your main purpose for looking to improve your appearance. For example, if you are interested in appearing more professional at work, a low-cut sundress may not work out to your advantage, and so forth.  That is why you can use fashion magazines and fashion shows as guides, but you are urged not to fully depend on them.

Another common mistake made by those who are looking to improve their appearance is believing that they have to have the best. This commonly includes the most expensive clothes and clothing accessories, as well as those that are made by well-known designers. This simply isn’t the case. Of course, you can spend more money to wear the clothing of a professional designer, but you don’t have to. Whether you are looking to dress for success for work or for an important event, like a party you are hosting or a charity function that you will be attending, it is important to remember that you do have a number of options, some of which are much more affordable.

Buying items that coworkers have is another common mistake made by those who are looking to improve their appearance, namely their professionalism at work. Of course, it is okay to buy clothing pieces that are similar in nature to ones that your coworkers are sporting, but you will want to avoid buying the exact same items.  This is ideal for both men and women, but it is more important for women.  Copying the fashions of your coworkers, right down to the same colors, can create some unneeded workplace tension.  Read more...

Is it just me, or have energy prices just been going up and up lately? Unfortunately, this results in significant increases in our home energy bills.

Fortunately, there are a lot of relatively inexpensive (sometimes free) changes you can make around the home that will save you money. I’ve put together a list of twelve tips that cover heating and cooling, lighting, appliances, and home electronics. These areas all tend to be notorious energy hogs. Let’s get started.

Heating and Cooling Tips:

1. If you haven’t already, switch to a natural gas water heater (electric water heaters use twice as much energy).

2. Whenever possible, cool your home naturally. For example, you can plant shade trees around your house (especially on the east and west sides). Their protection keeps the sun from beating on your roof and siding during the summer, which can naturally keep your home 4 degrees cooler. (Trees also help insulate your house against cold winds in the winter.)

3. Seal your house to protect against heat loss in cold weather. Seal the ductwork, close the fireplace damper when it’s not in use, and install a timer on the bathroom exhaust fan.  Read more...
