If schools taught students how to think clearly, logically, and creatively, why is it that so many young adults, and even older adults, make so many illogical (and therefore often poor) choices? Going into debt for unnecessary items or choosing to drink and drive when other alternatives are available are examples of choices that a very large number of otherwise educated people often make, causing both themselves and their loved ones great misery.

The essential fact in learning may, therefore, be described as the reduction of the stimulus leading to a response.Read more…Education - Why Do We Need It

This is probably even more comforting for parents who are struggling to put food on the table, and simply can’t afford to buy their children the necessary and required school supplies.Read more…International Schools - What to Think About When Moving Abroad
