The question to ask yourself is how much do you want to spend on a tutor. In my opinion the amount you need will depend upon the type of programs you will be using.

Remember the only reason that you need this type of tutor program is to help get your child to use the computer properly.After determining what you need, it is time to find out where you can find the best free downloading typing tutor software. What I like to do is to first go to the Google search engine. Go to the search box and type in 'free downloading typing tutor software'. You will likely see some search results pop up.

The purpose of this is to encourage others to sign up for the free download. However, if you do have a website set up, just make sure that you add the website to your favorites so that it will be at the top of your favorites list when you get back.Now that you have chosen the download that you would l ike to have, you are ready to enter the download code on the download page.

CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report - Heart Math Tutoring

CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report - Heart Math Tutoring CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report CMS Releases Breaking the Link Equity Report March 2, 2018 By Heart Staff Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools released Breaking the Link, a 70-page equity report on school demographics, teacher qualifications, test results, attendance data, and more. This kicks off the district’s strategic planning process for 2018-2024. We applaud and thank the CMS Accountability Office for this endeavor. Any challenging effort for meaningful change must begin with acknowledgement of hard truths,” the report says. Thus, this report… seeks to provide a solid, data-based picture of our schools with the most recent data available. While some of the “links” between race, poverty concentration, and outcomes may already be well-known, we wanted to pull a few data points near and dear to Heart’s mission. Math from Elementary to Middle School 51% of Grades 3-5 students in high-poverty schools are proficient in math, and the rate drops to 30% during Grades 6-8. Low-poverty schools have math EOG proficiency rates in 78%-83% range during K-8. (Breaking the Link Report page 21) Why does proficiency decline by over 20% in high-poverty schools, after more years of schooling? Is the math foundation weaker in high-poverty schools? Is reading a larger barrier to middle school math in high-poverty schools? Are there other instructional differences in math during elementary school between high and low poverty schools? During middle school? Math I In high-poverty schools, 86% of students who took Math I during grades 6-8 scored proficient! Unfortunately, only 32% of students who take Math I during grades 9-12 are proficient. That 86% proficiency rate is higher than the Math I proficiency rates in low- and middle-poverty schools in grades 9-12, as well. (Breaking the Link Report, page 21) Math I is frequently an honors class during middle school, requiring students to self-select and qualify. Could we help Heart students be ready for Math I sooner, possibly improving their odds of passing above 31%? Both confidence and skills would be key ingredients here. Graduation and ACT Scores The ACT measures content mastery across English, math, reading, and science. Though 78% of students in high-poverty schools graduate from high school in four years (page 30), only 21% have ACT composite scores high enough for entrance into UNC system colleges. The minimum score requirement is 17, and the average in high-poverty high schools is 14.1. (Breaking the Link Report, page 27-28). We must keep an eye on the concrete skills that individuals need to “lead productive lives” â€" borrowing from CMS visioning statements â€" and look beyond high school graduation rates to understand college or career readiness. With thanks to CMS’s Accountability Office and the project team for their work on this report, we close with their words: “The next era of our district’s evolution is to provide the excellence we offer in some schools to every child, preparing all students to lead productive lives. This commitment requires us to undergo consistent self-reflection and evaluation, and then act.” (All images are from Breaking the Link.)

Why I Hate Thanksgiving

Why I Hate Thanksgiving Photo via Flickr user pinksherbet Its always about this time of year, when the University of Denvers quarter comes to close right before Thanksgiving, that I become both a) extremely stressed and b) angry. Stressed because obviously, finals, but why angry? Because everyone starts talking about Thanksgiving and Christmas and the holiday spirit. Let me clarify that Thanksgiving is most definitely one of the worst holidays â€" and this is why. I first learned about Thanksgiving, not at home, but in school. I learned it was a time when the mysterious Indians showed up out of nowhere and helped the Pilgrims survive when they were unable to feed themselves, and in doing so, created a holiday which people celebrate to give thanks. We then, as 1st Graders, dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians and shared a finger-food Thanksgiving dinner. But what they didnt teach us was that many of the Puritan elite among these Pilgrims later turned against the Native Americans and burned their villages to the ground. This merely continued a history of violence against the Native Americans that had begun since the Spaniards first came to the Americas, a history that would continue for centuries, a history that has still left many Native American peoples as second-class citizens. One of the main reasons why I despise Thanksgiving is the way that the US seems to conveniently forget about this history. Why do we as US Citizens still celebrate Thanksgiving? To give thanks to the Native Americans? What if people, like me, never had ancestors in the United States at that time? And what are Native Americans expected to do â€" give thanks that they showed compassion to immigrants of whom many would later systemically commit genocide?  Do people sit down on Thanksgiving day and talk about the Trail of Tears? The racism still experienced by Native Americans today? The standard of living on reservations? No. Instead, people sit down with family members, watch a parade of Snoopy floats and lip-syncing celebrities and hours of football on TV, cook a big meal and fall into a collective food coma and conveniently call it a holiday to appreciate what we have. Photo via Flickr user eye of einstein We give thanks that we have food on the table by encouraging the mass annual commercial slaughtering of turkeys grown artificially and in poor conditions in order to meet the American demand, a custom which also basically flips the bird to any vegetarians or vegans. We give thanks by consuming and encouraging each other to consume huge quantities of food an average American Thanksgiving dinner is worth 2000 calories when there are still children in our US of A starving on the streets? But Thanksgiving brings family together!  If anything, a lot of people I know talk about how much of a chore Thanksgiving is, having to fly back home to see cranky relatives, taking time out of their precious 4-5 day weekend or their winter break to go endure some meaningless dinner that is exactly the same food, exactly the same conversations around the stove or the television every year. Moreover, some people are forced to work on Thanksgiving Day, unable to spend it with their families because those companies decided to make money from the last-minute grocery shoppers by denying their employees family time. My problem with Thanksgiving as a holiday stems not from the intent but from the action. Its all fine and dandy to gather together and appreciate things that we have, but Thanksgiving today doesnt have anything to do with that.  If Thanksgiving were less of a hypocrisy and more of an actual celebration of appreciation, then maybe it wouldnt be such a bad holiday. Maybe it could, not erase, but seek to heal the burns still left from centuries of history against Native Americans. However, until I stop seeing people claim to appreciate all these things they have in their lives then going the very next day to Black Friday (and dont get me started on that), I will keep having this discussion, year after year.

How Parents Can Help Their Children Learn Organic Chemistry

How Parents Can Help Their Children Learn Organic ChemistryFiu Organic Chemistry is an online chemistry course developed by the FIBON lab, which has been widely acclaimed among thousands of students worldwide. It teaches the basics of organic chemistry, as well as courses on basic theory and its application. Many people think that learning chemistry through online is a good thing, but they do not know how to get in touch with the real science and do it right.When it comes to chemistry, one needs to learn the formulas for different compounds and their properties, as well as how to calculate the mass of a chemical formula. To do this, students need to know the different units of measurement used for different purposes, such as ounces, centimeters, and kilograms.So, the importance of knowing the units of measurement is crucial for the students learning organic chemistry. When students are able to recognize the units for different things, it is easier for them to relate the concepts and learn more about the subject. The only problem is that many teachers teach using the Latin system of measurement.It is not unusual for chemistry students to feel bored or frustrated when they cannot understand the lecture or the lab reports, even though they know the concepts and principles of the subject well. There are a lot of ways for parents to help their children to stay engaged in the subject.Chemists often remind their students that it is important to use their reasoning abilities to learn and remember chemical formulas. They suggest that the best way to master the subject is to spend time studying every day. This is because students need to make sure that they pay attention to all the assignments given to them, especially during the long summer break that follows the academic year.If the student cannot get enough time to study, parents should encourage them to go back to school during the summer break so that they can take the semester-long college course online. There are also other ways for parents to help their children prepare for a subject that is important for their future in life.Most students who want to take chemistry courses online have to leave the comfort of their home at some point in their lifetime, so there is no need to worry about finding a good college to enroll them in. With enough patience and support from the home environment, parents will be able to help their kids to excel in the subject.
