No one is too old to get an education. Many married folks nowadays realize this so you see them continuing their education by actually enrolling in classes at the community college, or even at universities, while most take up distance learning.

How to Be a Poet

Not everyone is a born poet like Shakespeare or Byron or Shelley or Keats or even Bob Dylan or Grandmaster Flash, that’s for sure. You can’t just sit under a tree one lazy afternoon with your pen in hand, a notebook in the other, and produce a Shakespearean couplet before nighttime. (Believe me, I tried.) [...]

If you have the time and inclination to teach your pre-school kids at home before you let them out in the big wide-world of school buses, lunch boxes, and playground fi… friends, then these tips would probably help you out.

We’ve all seen the movie but do we know what it means? Well, I don’t know how to go on a very academic discussion of a Lindsay Lohan flick (though lovely Tina Fey wrote the script), but it can plainly mean that mean girls really exist and when girls are mean, they also can get [...]

Yikes! Many English teachers bemoan the fact that kids nowadays refuse to read. Technology may factor in as children would rather watch TV, or play video games rather than do some good old-fashioned reading. Parents should encourage their children to read at home, as this habit (or hobby) will carry over to the classroom.

It’s not always true that jocks have it easy. Not only do they have to maintain top form in their chosen sport, but they also have to perform well in their academics (at least to maintain an average). This is aside from the social life they have to de-stress a bit after working hard both [...]

Train your kids how to study at home. Start with thirty-minutes of uninterrupted study time and lengthen the hours eventually. You’re not just teaching them to study per se, but you’re basically helping them develop focus and concentration. Here are some tips to help you make the home a more conducive place to do [...]

Believe it or not, your mind needs to be kept young and fresh. Treat it like your body. If you just laze around all day, you might get flabby and fat and sluggish. If you keep an active lifestyle and exercise, you can be as agile as a teenage track star. So avoid being mentally [...]

Wikipedia is Now 7 Years Old

Before the day ends, I’d just like to wish Wikipedia (the one-stop resource for lazy students), a happy birthday. While everyone is still having problems with their dates (I know some who still end the dates with a “7″), this just made me realize the growth of Wikipedia as a resource and the time that [...]

Hehe. Now here’s one site that helps you justify the time you spend slacking off. Give that lame “My dog ate my homework” a Web 2.0 twist with File Destructor 2.0.
While you can always claim that Windows chewed your homework as an excuse for a night with the boys, your girl, or with your [...]
