ThE Best Education For Children



Home school kids are taught thinking skills and problem solving instead of just memorizing standard answers. They can get a very good education. It has been proven that home school kids far outscore their public school peers both academically and socially, because they are out in the real world learning real world social skills. Reading newspapers, Watching TV also improve children knowledge. Home school kids are more likely to get into the college of their choice as colleges actively seek out home school kids.

Homeschooling is a great option for many families. Kids can learn at their own pace, and enjoy learning without the drama of pubic school. Many kids tune out after being required to sit in a classroom for 6+ hours a day. Homeschooling does not guarantee a good education but it can provide a good environment for learning. I do believe it is important for parents to support their children in education as they thrive praise and achievement and this gives them encouragement to do better. Children who aren't supported will think that it is pointless to try if they don't benefit from anyone recognizing their abilities.

There are many homeschool groups that are out there to offer support, and several of them do have "group" classes. I guess the best way for you to get started is to look at the state laws regarding homeschooling. Each state differs in its requirements, but you should be able to obtain access to the laws pretty quickly. Try internet searching your state and homeschool law, and you should find a site very quickly detailing the requirements.

Generally, you have to be evaluated by an independent teacher each year in most states and report to the school district in order to make sure your child's grades are up to snuff. There isn't a specific curriculum you have to follow, but there are many out there. From what you have said, a curriculum such as A Beka may be a good match for you, as they are generally pretty tough and will turn your child into a well rounded individual. You can get tutors for your children, but a large majority of individuals do most of the work themselves. That is a matter of personal preference. And starting your children out at an early age on SAT type questions is good. You can never be too prepared, and it does help.

Home educated children have far more of an education in many families than school children do. Some people do not understand home educating. They can learn, not only maths and English but, creative writing, etymology, history, Latin, Greek, geology, geography, Spanish, French, piano. A lot of schools today don't teach half as much as parents would teach at home. Schools are full of children from varieties of backgrounds - some want to work, others don't! Homeschooling is wonderful and homeschooled children are usually ahead of their public schooled peers. Children do not receive 6 hours of "proper school education" when they attend public school. Much of the day is spent lining up; going to the restroom; eating breakfast/lunch; going to other rooms for classes like PE, music, etc.; solving disciplinary issues, etc. Homeschooled children receive much more instructional time.

TOEFL is Useless? No Way!

Can you read, listen, speak and write English? Yes, I can because I studied TOEFL test that check your English ability if it is fine to take class in univerity in America. If your answer is 'no', you should study TOEFL. Some People think that a university do not have to require TOEFL score for international student to enter their school. I disagree to their opinion. There are several reasons such as, understanding, communicating with people from lecture and campus and efficiency of taking class.

At first, to get lectures from university in English, requiring English ability is inevitable. We should have enough ability of understanding and doing assignments. That is why we should take a TOEFL to evaluate if international students have that ability. It can check students level almost exactly. For example, If a student have lecture that only student who pass certain level of TOEFL score without taking a TOEFL, he or she could be confused and embarrassed. The situation that the student cannot understand the lecture totally might happen.

Secondarily, there are many situations that you can face during campus life-time. Also, there are many specific words from campus. TOEFL includes that part, too. They let us to listen and solve various problems. Unless you did not take it, you will be hard to communicate with people from campus. We should be prepared to enjoy campus lives by taking it.

Sometimes, people said that TOEFL required for international students is unnecessary and not fair, because some subjects are not allowed to international students who did not pass certain score. The people who say TOEFL is unnecessary insist that they have right to take class whatever you want. However, just taking a class is not important. How can you get information efficiently is also important, too.

In conclusion, I insist requiring TOEFL score to international students. That is because it let us to understand lecture and helpful to do assignments. Also, We can expect various problems that we could face by taking it. I cannot miss saying that it make us to take lecture efficiently. If you want to make your time and result from university be success, you should take TOEFL.

What Should We Do

Most immigrants who are living in United States might know the importance of TOEFL which is test for foreigners whose mother language is not English. International students need to get TOEFL score, which is required in order to apply for university especially in the United States and Canada. But, is it really necessary to pass TOEFL, and to get a high score? The following explanation should help you understand why international students should pass TOEFL score.
The first of all, TOEFL is standard test to make sure how much pepole can understand English. In addition, we are given to take test equality between everybody all over the world. In other words, if people who really want to go to American university, and who have good TOEFL score, they can apply for university without taking the test. That point is really good for us, because we have a lot of choice to choose which university we are going to go.
The second reason is that passing TOEFL has a merit which is permitted by more institution than any other English test. According to the survey, more 6.000 institutions in 110 countries require score that means wherever we want to study if we have passing score. Now that we think about it, if people can’t make minimum score to get into university at TOEFL, they can’t definitely keep up with study and class. That’s means, for passing TOEFL score is important to evaluate people whether who have minimums of English knowledge or not.
The last reason is that it is easy for university to select students. You can think about how many people take a test during the period of entrance exam? Additionally, if there is no system, which university doesn’t demand TOEFL score to choose students how many hours and how much costs does it take adopting? From that point of view, we can figure out why we should have good score.
The holding a contrary view of passing TOEFL score might say that if someone doesn’t have a passing score, people can get into university, because we can directly take an exam to university. However, if there is a passing score, we have a greater possibility to select university. You can think if you have score, you can apply for some universities which require the test scores. But, if you don’t have it, you have to take an entrance exam until you get through, furthermore, how much money you need to take.
In conclusion, there are a lot of good ways to pass TOEFL score to be the main requirement for international students. We know it is too hard for us to get pass score, but if there is no this system, we have many things to do study more in order to enter university. That’s why this system should keep from now on, and we also ought to have a passing TOEFL score.

Daycare for Children

It is a big surprise for the most families when the baby is born. The baby will bring joy, but it also will bring many problems at the same time. Parents will be worry about his/her growth. The issue is the problem of tendency. Should one parent stay home with children for the first few years of life, or is daycare beneficial for children under the age of five? Daycare is beneficial and is better choice for three reasons.

First, daycare is the professional place to take care of children. Most parents don’t have enough experience to take care of their children under the age of five. They need to learn how to take care of their children. However, daycare affords professional facilities. It also has many professionals. They know what is beneficial for children and discover their potential. They have enough expertise to help them grow. They will arrange them orderly. Anyway, daycare is a good place for children’s growth.

Second, most parents don't have enough time to take care of their children. Today’s society, most people have their own enterprise. As parents, they are also one of the members of society. They probably will lose their job if they decide to take care of their children. It’s a terrible choice for giving up work. However, daycare’s task is to help children grow healthily and set their parents mind at rest. It’s the job of daycare.



Finally, daycare can help children to prepare for elementary school. Pre-school education is very important. Daycare’s function couldn’t be achieved by ordinary family. For example, there are many children in kindergarten. It is the place to teach them how to make friend to other children. Children are learning while they are playing. They can contact with more strange face and become bravery. More partners will make children grow faster.


Some people say that daycare is not only helpless for improving the emotion between the child and parents, but also it gives them more distance. This point has some merit on the surface. However, it has many ways to enhance the feelings. Compare the feeling, Children’s healthy and regular growth is more important. Parents may spend rest time to accompany their children.



In conclusion, daycare has many benefits for children’s growth. Daycare also set parents at ease. It really kills two birds with one stone.

The Adult Question

What age should a person is considered an adult? This question has been asked many times, but people do not agree about comsidered a person to be an adult's age. Many countries determine a person to be an adult are 18 years old. In my opinion, I think 21 years old is a good age to consider a person to be an adult. To resolve a person to be an adult at the age of 21 is a good idea because it lowers crimerate, makes students life simply, and controls the population increase.

The first benefit to consider a person to be an adult at age 21 is to reduce crime. This may be a surprise to some people because when the people who age 21 his/her advisement are grow up. they are thinking are more and more mature. They know what should do and what is not allowed to do, This could make people do the right thing when they do the things what they decide to do, and they will assume all the responsibility. China is a determine a person to be an adult are 18 years old country. Many people crime when their young. When they pass the age of 18, they are so exciting to do every thing without thoughtfulness. That's easy to crime.

Another important benefit to consider a person to be an adult at the age of 21 is to make the youth life simply. In the U.S, the government set up many rules to the nonage, such as nonage can't drink beer; nonage can't go to casino; nonage can't go to bar and so on. That's a good way to bound the nonage, and lead them do the valueable things.There is no doubt that the age between 7-21 is the better age to study, so it can make youth focus on study. They won't influence by other things.

Finally, to consider a person to be an adult at the age of 21 can control the population. Actually, people can get married when they are adults. To be honest, in China, the population problem is more and more sevious. So many babies are born ebery day. It can revoke the acre problem, and hindrance to decelop the economy. At the same time, the older parents, the better take care of the child because they have more experience about the life. They can teach the children valuable things.

Some people argue that, consider a person to be an adult are 21 years old is too old for people to get their freedom. They say 18 years old is good enough to be an adult because a person physiological mature at 18. However, even a person physiological mature, but his/her advisement still naive, he/she also nonage, and make mistakes easily.

In conclusion, there are many well-documented benefits to consider a person to be an adult at the age of 21. It can make the younth more mature, and have responsibility. What's more, they can have much time to study and decide their future. It 's a better way to younth to be an adult , and to develope the country.

Daycare or Homecare?

Is daycare beneficial for children under the age of five? Nowadays, many parents have to make decision between their jobs and children because of the terrible global economic situation. Should we send the children to daycare or one parent stay home with children for the fist few years of life? There are many different opinions about daycare issues. From my viewpoint, since parents have a formative influence of their children’s growing up, so one parent should stay home with children for the first 5 years of life.

First, daycare is not beneficial for family’s communication while children’s growing up in first few years. As we known, children’s first few years of life is their formative years. There is an internet research which reported that long time in daycare may bring children weaker emotional relation with parents. As for a parent, should you allow that your children might spend more time each day with strangers at daycare than they would stay with you? It’s a obvious pity to miss the moment of your kid’s childhood since time past so soon.

Second, daycare is not beneficial for children’s health when growing up. The daycare centers only can offer the same food, place and service to each child because of the rise in demand for daycare service. Based on your equal pay, daycare centers will never request to offer special food or service according to your children’s personal nutritional requirement. Also, your children in daycare centers would be exposed to more infections and respiratory illness than they would be taken care at home. If you want to offer a safe and healthy condition to your children at the first few years of life, it’s better to take care of them at home.

Finally, it’s so hard to find a suitable daycare centers exactly the educational way as you like. There’s no doubt that the rise in demand for daycare mean there will be more unqualified caregivers waiting to offer their services. As for caregiver, it just her job to take care of your children because they got pay. They will never be responsible for stand as parents side to offer a right and suitable education way to your children. They will never be patience to correct your children’s mistakes and teach them good manners and behaviors. If you expect to train you children to have good manners and behaviors at their beginning, it’s better to keep your children at home and teach by yourself.

The opponents of homecare might say that daycare is beneficial for children and family because their parents get free from homework. They can pay more attention to their jobs and earn more money to improve family income and offer better condition to children. If you are in the same situation, ask yourself how much income you will gain from your second job, minus the cost of your daycare service. Is the money worth it? The obvious answer is no. It’s not worth to send your children to stay with strangers in daycare instead of parents’ warm attention.

In conclusion, there are many reasons which show us that daycare is not beneficial for children under the age of five. One parent should stay home with his/her children for the first few years of life. As we known, children’s health growing up and positive childhood is the most important thing for a happy family, children’s health and successful future is all parents’ targets and motivity. If you want to offer a right direction and wonderful future to your children, it is worth to stay at home with them for the first few years of life, just do it yourself.

International students should pass the TOEFL

International students should pass the TOEFL

Nowadays, more and more international students come to American universities for study. Before those international students come into American universities, they must give their TOEFL scores which can prove their English levels. TOEFL is a certificate which provides the students who come from non-English speaking countries an English proficiency test. International students should need an appropriate TOEFL score to prove if they could study, live and work in English-speaking countries.

First, TOEFL is evidence to prove students’ ability to study in English-speaking countries. Each country’s English language proficiency is different. In order to make sure that students have the ability to study in an English-speaking country, they should be qualified with TOEFL learning. If the student did not pass the TOEFL, but directly went to an American University to study, he or she will feel trouble to learn the teachers’ words. Therefore, the TOEFL test is so important that it can ensure those international students in English-speaking countries the ability to learn.
Secondly, after the adoption of the TOEFL test, it proves that international students are capable of living in the English-speaking countries. In addition, for international students at schools, they still live in an English-speaking environment. For example, they need to go to government departments to make documents, so they must use English to communicate with others. For this reason, TOEFL learning improves students living in the English-speaking countries with the langue ability.

TOEFL study can make the international students perform better in langue even as good as local students. In some cases, international students are not worse than the local students, but they do not have good performances because they don’t have good langue ability of English. If the international students have learned and passed TOEFL, they would have a good langue ability of English, they would perform as well as local students. The international students passed the TOEFL tests, it also indicates that students are able to adapt to the forthcoming study of life and can successfully complete their education.

TOEFL is a test of English and its role is only to test the English proficiency of international students. It cannot fully demonstrate the professional competence of students. For this reason, some students think that the TOEFL scores of American University admission standards as unfair. From another point of view, international students have a good English ability which is the base of professional knowledge. TOEFL scores of international students is proof of English proficiency.

TOEFL is a certificate and also a main requirement for international students to enter a university. It ensures that international students have a good langue ability of English, the ability to live and study in English-speaking countries. Only through the TOEFL test, can international students have the ability and same competitiveness of local students. That is why TOEFL is so important and is the main requirement for international students.

Important Children

Do you think that money is more important than every thing else? Many parents may think that having more money to treat their children well is the best way. They can buy toys for their children, let their children go to private school, travel with them and so on. Those parents are pretty good because they work for their children. They are very smart because they think that money will make children happy. Those parents think that their children will treat them well when their children grow up. It is true. However, If parents work hard for money, they do not have time to take carae of their children. They may let other people to take care of their children or put their children to childcare center. Should parents take care of their children who are under age of five, or should parents keep letting others take care of their children? Letting other people take care children who are under five is wrong because of the following reasons.
One reason that not taking care of children is wrong because parents will get anxious of being away of them. Parents should not let other people take care of their children because they don’t know how other people will treat their children. Even though parents give their children to nice people to take care, they do not stop worrying their children. They also should not take their children to childcare center because the employees from that center have taken care of many children. For example, there are three or four employees to take care of thirty or forty children. If one child is crying, another one wants to go to restroom, and one is hungry, three employees will go to take care of those children. The employees probably do not treat the children as well as the parents do. In addition, parents should treat their children by their own. Because parents love their children better than others, they have to do that.
Second, not taking care of children will not produce good relationship with them. When I was at high school, I met a good friend. He told me that he lived with his grandmother for many years because his parents had a business, and they rarely stayed at home. He also told me that he was so alone when he was young. He was very sad because he felt that he didn’t have parents. I knew that he didn’t have good relationship with his parents. For instance, one day when I went to his house, I saw his parents. He didn’t talk much with them, so I was confused about that. I certainly asked him of reason because I talked to my parents a lot. He told me that he didn’t have many subjects with them. Then I said his parents worked for him. Because they wanted him to live better, they were good parents. He just scowled and said he didn’t want to talk about his parents. Not taking care of children will cause problem like my friend.
The final reason is that taking care of children is supposed to cause good sensation. My friend who works very hard has two children. He thinks about his family’s future everyday. He wants to buy a good house, a nice car, let their children go to private school. It is very hard for him to do these things. He is a good father, and he is supposed to do that. However, he is usually happy when he plays with them. Even though he is tired at home, he feels well because of his children. He loves them very much. Taking care of children is very rewarding.
Many people might think that taking care of children is not important because they think that they have better lives with their kids just by earning more money. That is true in some case; however, as stated previously, parents need to take care of their children within the first few years, not their lives. Parents must decide if earning more money is more important that taking care of young children. Basically, Parents can earn more money when their children grow up.
In conclusion, if parents do take care of their young children, they must be relieved, have a good relationship and to be happy with children. Childhood is important for everyone and the society, so every couple must know that. Parents should not spend more time on work. They are humans, they need relax too.

TOEFL Test is Really Need to International Students?

Nowadays, a lot of international students go to U.S.A to learning English. So they need a TOEFL test score because most of America universities accept this score and they estimate students by TOEFL score. If someone wants to go to good university, he or she needs good score. Therefore, international students really need this test.
First, U.S Education Government considered what is problem of international students because many international students didn’t follow regular university classes so they considered about this problems so they made TOEFL test. U.s government thought it will be really helpful to understand for international students. TOEFL test is very similar with university class such as vocabulary, lecture style, even school life. For example, I’m international student, so I already took this exam and I overcame this problem and hard times actually this exam is very difficult to international students so most students study a lot and staying up every day. In my case, when I was doing TOEFL study it was very hard time to me so I wanted to give up this test but without this score I can’t attend to U.S school so I studied. I think that this TOEFL study was really helpful to me actually now it is very helpful to me if I didn’t study I can’t understand lecture easily I can’t writing. However, some students have negative opinion about this test they think it just estimate person being not helping to university class and spend much more valuable time.
Furthermore, most of international students or TOEFL takers think that it is just university entrance exam so they become easily tardy. But I think that this test is not just simple test this one is provide a lot of help to us. For example, few weeks ago I rented book from library this book due day was 2weeks but I forgot about it so I didn’t return it but I didn’t confuse because I already studied about this situation from TOEFL lecture so thanks to TOEFL test I solved this problem more easily.

In conclusion, TOEFL test is Americas official test for attend to university for international students but some people think that TOEFL test does not help to international students however, I strongly believe that TOEFL study is very helpful to international students.

The Legal Age

The age at which one is considered a legal adult age in the United States is typically 18. However, what defines a legal adult is the ability to legally work, participate in contract, vote, marry, and give Sexual Consent, and join the military. In this context, what age constitute a legal adult age? Is it 18 or
21? I strongly believe that maturity of a person cannot be determined by age alone, because a person may be 18 or 21 but he/she may still not have adult characteristic.

The age some one becomes a legal adult in the United States is largely the age at which most children are considered adults in the rest of the world. However, a few counties set this age lower, but most of the Western worlds consider 18 as legal adult age in some cases a child under 18 is a legal adult,
especially for the purposes of marriage or signing contracts prior to 18. This is legal but rare and it often tends to occur if a child sues his/her parents for freedom to be self covered.

For many parents in the United States, the term legal adult does not mean that their children
possess certain adult characteristic. For instance, some parents may argue that being an adult may imply that their children are able to make mature delusion, participate in civic matters, and have self-
Control and be responsible. The fact is that there are some 18 year old that are simply not matured, and does not have the characteristic necessary for adulthood. Therefore, they need more time to develop and mature in those characteristics of an adult person.

In some States in the Unites States, some parents are concern about 18 year olds who are not mentally ready to make life altering decisions such marriage at early age or joining the military, which may not have been made with significant forethought. In this type of situations, there is very little that parents can do to rectify the problem. As a result, many parents feel that they no longer have control
over their children, who may have reach legal adult age but are still not functionally ready to be adult.

The issue of adult hood is a very sticky one for children in foster care. At the age of 18, they essentially age out of the system and the State no longer has the burden of supporting them. In few cases, however, foster parents will continue to support a child who is technically an adult, but children under this type of arrangement is always for short time. In few instances where the age is not a factor,
many children in the system are cared for by either a distance relative or biological parents.

In conclusion, a person may be biologically an adult and may have adult behavior but will still be treated as a child if he is under the age. Conversely, a person may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that defines adult character. In this context, what age constitute a
legal adult age? Is it 18 or 21? I strongly believe that maturity of a person cannot be determined by age alone, because a person may be 18 or 21 but he/she may still not have adult characteristic. Therefore such person cannot to considered an adult even though they may have attained to legal age of adulthood.
