Actual for You - School Is Out, But How Do I Keep My Kids Involved So They Don't Forget Their Main Subjects?
There is no surer way to get ahead in business than to be a persuasive speaker. However, because public speaking is normally found at the top of lists of fears in the United States, many business people, especially engineers and other technical specialists, fail to make the effort to become better speakers, and thus fail to reach their potential.In my judgment, as one who has delivered hundreds of presentations and trained thousands of business and government executives, there is no skill easier to learn, with greater payoff, than mastering the art of persuasive speaking.So how can business people and technical specialists add the weapon of persuasive speaking to their business skills

If you have a website, why not reserve some space for advertisers. Other businesses in the same category might want to have a link on your site in the form of a text or banner ad.This serves two purposes. Advertisers get a one way link out from your site which is more valuable to search engines than a reciprocal link and they also get the benefit of your traffic.You on the other hand can gain by charging a monthly fee for the ads and also give your visitors more options. They will come back to your site. If you get five or ten text ads in an ad space you could make an extra couple hundred bucks per month or even more.You could format your space in an “ad box” saying something li
Well let me say that as the father of 3 grown kids in their 20's, and having taught mathematics for 5.5 years, along with being a part time associate college professor, there are a lot of options.
Let me start off, that studies have shown that children start their next school year retaining less information then when the school year ended. It is amazing that with all the hard work of studying and learning from August to May/June, that children will actually start school with retaining less of this information.
Part of it is that a lot of students do not stimulate their brain with learning during the summer months. They fill their daily schedules with watching tv, working more hours at jobs, parties,hobbies,family vacations,staying up late, sleeping late, video games, etc.
So what can parents do?
Well, short of home schooling your children throughout the summer months (my sister home schooled all three of her kids), have you tried these ideas?
1. Find out what subjects your children needs help or assistance with. Maybe your child got the results of their TAKS test (In Texas, there is an end of year state test to measure a student's retention and understanding of English,Math,Science and Social Studies). Students have to have a passing grade in all 4 subjects in order to get their high school diploma. If they took their end of course exams, ACT, SAT Exams, even the last report cards, look at what subjects they did the worse in. Maybe your child did fine, but they are looking at getting accepted in college, need higher grades, want to take AP classes, etc.
a. Look on the web for some free web resources in each of these subjects. I used to teach a summer school math program at a local private school for middle school students, called Middle School Math with Brain Teasers. I liked to introduce middle school students to pre-algebra and algebra concepts, while reinforcing the skills they already learned, but use some brainteasers and some websites that had fun educational games in math/science. It made learning the concepts "fun".

List building is of course one of the most lucrative exercises you can do online, but of course if you do not have traffic, it is almost impossible to build a list.And of course, there is the issue of the quality of the traffic. I have tried all the junk traffic, the guaranteed traffic, to no avail.So I use article writing, which generally brings you a higher level of traffic, and combine it with targeted squeeze pages.This is how I do it:1) I set up a web page that has on it only a call to action to subscribe to my list, and an opt in box. That’s it. I don’t try to sell anything on that web page. Nothing. No links. Nothing. That is one of the most important thing
Don't use this as punishment. In my years of teaching, I wish I had a dollar every time a student said they could not do math because they were stupid or not good in math. I always believed in trying to make them believe in their self, and have a positive attitude. I made math fun , exciting and especially how it relates to the real world (science, english,art,social studies, engineering,etc.). I had a student a few years ago who hated math, but at the end of Algebra II, she was smiling and she passed. Another student left school and came back a few months later and told me she had a 4.0 average in her nursing classes in college,and that it was because of the Algebra II I taught her.
The idea is that tutoring or getting additional help should never be used as punishment or to belittle your child. When I was in the Army, if something was not accomplished the first time, you go back and look at the task, processes, what ways can it be improved, practice,practice,practice, and do it again.
Life is like that.. It is the reality that if you did not grasp the math,science,social studies or english concepts, then guess what, sitting on the couch all summer complaining about school, will not help you next year.
Get some help. Try some online websites. If you have your textbooks, review those concepts.
b. If you can not do it on your own, see if your community has some summer school programs you can check into. Some are only for a few weeks, and only a few hours a day.
c. Find a tutor who can help you. Maybe you have another student in your neighborhood who can be trusted. Find a reputable tutoring company where you can have a tutor come to the comfort of your home (when you are home) and work one on one with your child. I did this for several years, and I had to reteach math concepts. I have seen a 7th grade student with C's and D's make A's in Algebra, Geometry and Alg
