Why It Is Good To Learn Many Language
A 2011 study found that students in rigorous high school programs that contained at least three years of foreign language instruction were more likely to improve their grades in college and to drop out less often. Another study showed that students of high school with two or more years of foreign language instruction performed better on the English performance tests than students without foreign language skills. A study of 13,200 third and fifth graders in public schools in Louisiana found that children who participated in the English course of the Louisiana Basic Skills Test, regardless of race, gender or academic level performed better than those who didn’t.

Demystifying the Calculus
Calculus is often considered the bane of mathematics. Terrifying many students, this discipline provides a unwelcomed bounty of equations and techniques, which bombard the student into retreat. The emphasis of calculus on solving equations and finding areas and volumes, does not encourage the student to forge on or show its true range of applicability. And when any reader opens up a book in quantum mechanics or other subjects requiring advanced mathematics, one keeps seeing a curly S and a weird looking fraction defined in terms of objects written in terms of ‘infinitesimals’. Therefore this article has been written, to fill the void of mathematical literature explained without equations. Here I shall attempt to explain the Calculus, without using a single equation. Ready? Well, to infinity and beyond!

The Worst Day of Testing, Ever
After so many years teaching, some memories remain sharp even after the sandpaper of time wears them down. One of the rewarding things about teaching is having interns; it’s a chance to see the latest and freshest ideas coming out of the colleges. It’s easy to get in a rut when it comes to teaching, so I welcome these newbies to the profession with open arms. I’ve had good ones, I have bad ones, and I’ve had ones that just had the worst luck. One year, I thought he was going to melt down.

The Suffocation of Private School
The misfit feeling was one I had experienced before, but not to the extent that exists in the world of private schools. It felt like the judgement began before I even stepped a foot inside the school as I was driven to school in vehicles that had no heat, no air, and were barely holding on while others were driven to school in the newest models of cars and some students arrived in their own personal Mustangs. The element of secret keeping was in full effect right away since it was highly frowned upon to discuss who received scholarships to attend the school and of course, I had received a scholarship because that was the only way I was able to attend a private school.

A Critique on the Public High School System
I find when a student reaches high school level he/she will start making important choices regarding their adulthood. I believe the high school system should be responsible in nurturing developmental desires in adolescent students and guide them to make appropriate decisions that will greatly benefit them in the future. Of course, there will always be students who won't take this seriously and take it as a joke. Naturally, this period of their lives will the most carefree months ever. After they graduate from high school, they will be forced to look at career prospects, post-secondary institutions, paying bills and so on. As I attended high school, I took cooking, sewing, and computer classes. There wasn't enough room for mechanics and other things. But they should make room. As I attended these classes, some of my classmates fooled around, thinking they will never need the knowledge they acquire from these classes. They are obligated to be taught the most important necessities of adulthood even if they do resist. Maybe they will rethink their attitude and go along with it. One could only hope.
