We expect a lot out of children these days. In order to be competitive in the workplace of tomorrow, our children must perform to the best of their ability. Each year they are expected to learn more and perform better than the last. Some children thrive on the pressure to perform but if your child is not keeping up he may become discouraged and disinterested in school. The solution to this dilemma for many parents is to hire a tutor for their child.
The top 5 reasons to get your child a tutor are as follows:
If your child is having trouble at school If your child appears to be trying but their grades do not reflect this If homework is incomplete or not done correctly If you notice an increasing lack of motivation and confidence regarding school If the teacher sends notes home due to your child's disruptive behavior
The number one reason of the 5 reasons to get your child a tutor is the most important. When a child is having trouble keeping up in class, their self confidence is crushed, and the problem escalates. It is never too late to get your child a tutor but catching the problem early is very important.
If your child is sincerely trying to do their schoolwork but their grades are still suffering, try getting your child a tutor. In some cases, a child may have an undiagnosed learning disability and an experienced tutor will notice the signs. The one to one attention that your child will receive from a tutor can make all the difference in the world.
A great reason to get your child a tutor is help with homework. If you notice that your child is not completing or is doing their homework incorrectly, a tutor can be a great help. This can help ease your child's frustration and yours too, when their grades improve after completing their assigned homework.
If your child has become unmotivated and doesn't seem to enjoy school anymore, this is another good reason to get your child a tutor. Many times a child will show his frustrations by acting up at school. If you start receiving notes from your child's teacher about disruptive behavior, consider hiring a tutor and you may notice a pleasant surprise when the notes are not sent home anymore.
There are more than 5 reasons to get your child a tutor but the ones listed can make a huge difference in the life of your child. Children are not lazy by nature and when they are exhibiting these bad behaviors, more than their schoolwork suffers. A child that gets the one on one help from an experienced tutor can overcome many of the limitations that he or she feels that they have.
Once you decide to get your child a tutor, there are still many things for you to do to help your child succeed. Be sure to check your child's schoolwork and homework each day. Make sure there is a quiet place for your child to do their homework and a structured time. Reinforce to your child the importance of learning and education by example. Be available to help them but don't do their homework for them. Make sure that your child gets enough rest each day so they are at their best.

Newspaper Recycling Bins for Homes and Work Environments
by Patrick Hills
Disposing of newspapers is a common need in homes and offices. Mostly, the old newspapers are thrown as waste but these can also be collected and sent for recycling. Recycling not only disposes of the waste material in an eco-friendly manner but also recreates something useful out of the waste material. For example, what you put into your recycling contaier can be used to make paper towels, photostat paper, letterheads, paper bags, and new paper for printing.
Newspaper recycling is an effective way to help the environment. Recycling a four foot stack of newspapers can produce the same amount of pulp that is produced by cutting down a 40 foot pine tree. Producing goods made from recycled paper also creates 55% less pollution as compared to manufacturing goods from newly cut trees. Homes and offices can use newspaper recycling bins to collect the daily paper and send it to the local recycling center for recycling. Here is how you can successfully implement the practice of recycling in homes and offices.
Newspaper recycling bins for home; A newspaper recycling bin can be kept in the kitchen or the garage area where the daily newspaper can be kept after everyone has read it. You can use newspaper recycling bins from Slim Jim, Rubbermaid or Ecolad to collect the newspapers. These bins are durable in nature and ideal for storing newspaper in all weather conditions. You can also assign duty to a family member for daily collection of newspaper and its storage in the recycling container. Old magazines and journals can also be put in the container.
Newspaper recycling bin for offices; Newspaper recycling bins can be used at different places in the office to collect old newspapers as well as other waste paper. Office newspaper receptacles are ideal for offices as these are small in size and can easily fit in limited space. You can also use stackable recycling bins to collect newspapers; these bins can be stacked on top of each other to provide more storage capacity while taking up less office space. Bins with convenient slots on the lids are also ideal.
Newspapers must be disposed properly in homes and offices for proper recycling. Log on to www.recyclingsupply.com to find out more about newspaper recycling bins from some of the top recycling bin manufacturers. Make recycling newspapers a rule in your home and office to contribute to the environment.

Audience Participation With Wireless Voting; Corporate Meetings
by Wesley Sutliff
Your annual corporate meeting is finally here and the boss wants you to make sure participation is UP. She wants to know what the employees are thinking about and whether or not they understand the direction the company is headed. And she wants to know now. In short you need to find an Audience Response System.
An Audience Response System (ARS) is the same system used on TV in American Idol or America's Funniest Home Videos. Each member of the meeting will have a wireless handheld device that allows them to select a response and send that response to the system. The ARS will then take all of the responses and calculate the results and display, as needed, to everyone. These systems have been designed to take information from a large population very quickly so that decisions can be made immediately while a topic is being discussed.
Like your annual company meeting of 500 employees (or 1,000 or 10,000).
And not only have audience response systems grown in their ability to handle large numbers of participants, but they have also diversified and specified into different niche markets. For example, some ARS will allow a participant to give a continuous response on a sliding scale over a period of time. Others will allow you to have 10 to even 20 different responses for a given topic or statement. And still others will give you a straight forward YES, NO, or ABSTAIN.
So in order to integrate an ARS into your meeting, you will want to look at a few qualifiers and then match the appropriate functionality to your meeting. Such as:
Reliability Most of today's wireless systems operate on a 2.4GHz Radio Frequency, as do many other wireless devices. So make sure that the location of your event is well protected from outside frequencies that may interfere with your data transmissions.
Ease of Use For many of the participants at your meeting, this may be the first time they have used an ARS, and this means that the system you choose will need to be very UN-intimidating. The wireless devices should be designed in such a way that the users can choose the correct response. For example, for a YES/NO vote a large button highlighted with green and large text spelling "YES" should indicate that this is the button to press should the member want to give a YES response.
**Side Note: Make sure you choose a system that will confirm to the user what their response was, either with an LED or an LCD.**
Battery Life Wireless devices run on batteries, like your remote control, and as live meetings can run for some time you will want to find an ARS with a ling operating time to ensure you won't run out of power in the middle of the meeting. It also helps to find devices that will take standard batteries so that they are easily replaced.
With just these three qualifiers, you'll be able to narrow down your ARS options and know that you will receive a quality system. You will improve the company meeting and most importantly, you'll be keeping your boss happy.

The Power of Glasses For Children With Learning Disabilities
by Darin Browne
Children with learning disabilities can be helped by the use of reading glasses, but is this the full story?
As a working Behavioral Optometrist for over 25 years, I recognize that vision is the main sense in the classroom, with larger than 80% of all information coming in by way of the visual system. So it makes perfect sense that any interruption in vision can affect a child's learning ability. However, having a straightforward eye examination is very often far short of supplying the answers despairing parents are looking for.
The symptoms of children with learning disabilities who have visual problems include
Reduced concentration,
Aching eyes or excessive eye rubbing,
Headaches or exhaustion after reading
Frustration when reading or writing
Misreading or skipping words or lines
Avoiding, crying or screaming when forced to do homework
Children with learning disabilities experience lots of of these difficulties, and they can often be considerably decreased by a expert eye assessment and the appropriate reading glasses. But is it as much as necessary? Does only putting glasses on a child and helping their fundamental visual difficulties mean that the child is cured?
Clearly this is often not the case! How can a pair of glasses assist a child to spell better? How can glasses stop a child writing things in reverse, or assist them to code or sequence more proficiently? Yes, I am the first to concur that reading glasses can assist mitigate lots of problems in children with learning disabilities, but throughout the years I have come to recognize that more is required.
The thing is that, even wearing the right glasses if they are necessary, these children lack the visual skills required to achieve the task of reading, writing or spelling. These skills are not inborn, neither are they magically given with any piece of equipment, such as a lens, a colored lens, an ADHD tablet or anything else. They have to be learned, and they have to be learned properly if the child is to advance in their learning to become an effective student.
This makes total sense, doesn't it? If we want our child to be a great footballer, we send them to football practice to teach them the skills of the game. If we want them to be good at tennis, we send them to tennis coaching so they learn and teach the appropriate skills. If we want them to play piano, we don't only sit them in front of the piano forcing them play over and over again, do we? We have piano lessons, and they learn the skills that are considered necessary to play the piano.
Yet, when it comes to reading, we only make children with learning disabilities struggle on, and yes, the right reading glasses may help, but how much greater will their advance be if we pair this with training the appropriate visual skills?
So if you recognize children with learning disabilities, having an eye assessment is a wonderful place to start, but it is very often not a excellent place to finish. Why leave the task half done, with all of their visual skills under developed? Why sentence them to keep struggling when, with the appropriate training system, you could see impressive and fast results.
The subject that remains is, where do you find such a program> Despite the fact that there are lots of therapy programs available through Behavioral Optometrists, there has been very little available until now on the internet.
Children with learning disabilities should be given every possibility to progress, and only giving a pill or a pair of eyeglasses may not be the full treatment they require. If you want to see if your child could be helped in their learning difficulties by training the correct visual skills, then go to see our site for free symptoms lists and more, and see for yourself how powerful vision therapy can be for helping children with learning disabilities.
