Texas And The US Working Effectively With Androids Day Off

Texas And The US Working Effectively With Androids' Day OffTFAA Chemistry, or the Texas Workforce Investment Act, is a bill being considered in Texas that would ensure that all workers in Texas get at least one day off each week. The act is making its way through the Texas legislature right now and has been referred to committee by the state legislature's Health and Human Services Committee, which is chaired by State Senator Craig Estes.Several senators have supported the bill, which aims to create a happier work environment for Texas. It is hoped that the bill would bring more people into the workforce, increase retention and allow for worker benefits. It also claims to create more opportunities for low-income workers.There was a discussion in the senate about whether the Second World War was really a good thing for our country. Those who support the legislation argue that the economy is going to be stronger if we are not being so concerned with this topic. In fact, some might say t hat all of this concern over the economic situation might even hinder the economy.Another argument against the bill is that it would limit the United States from having an appropriate Universal Healthcare Plan, which would be the ultimate goal of everyone. This would not only hurt the nation's economy, but it would cause a decline in productivity, which in turn would hurt the American workers. The economic slowdown that is being experienced by the nation is so bad at the moment that many people are saying that it is now time to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.One thing that can be argued for is that this act is not that revolutionary as other pieces of legislation are. There are other bills out there to try to remedy the problem.If this bill passes, it will make Texas the first state in the US to have a day off for all workers. This will have a huge impact on the economy of Texas and the US, since it will help to increase the number of people working in the state, thus incr easing the amount of jobs and lessening the unemployment rate.As far as the future goes, if this bill is passed, it will be used as a model for other states in the US, as well as other countries around the world. It is believed that it will make the US more productive, happy and healthier, which in turn will eventually bring it closer to the perfect health and wellbeing that it needs to continue to prosper.

Senior Year College Checklist

Senior Year College Checklist This is it: the culmination of high school! If your teen graduates next spring and intends to go to college, theres a lot for your teen to do this school year (in addition to keeping up those grades, of course). Heres a checklist to keep you and your teen on track: Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You and your teen should complete this form as soon as possible after October 1. Check with the colleges to which your teen is applying to confirm their college financial aid deadlines. Review the Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR will arrive via email within a couple of weeks of submitting the FAFSA. This is what colleges your teen listed on the FAFSA use to determine eligibility for financial aid. Its essential that you make any necessary corrections to the information on this report as quickly as possible on the FAFSA website. Explore an SAT or ACT prep class. If your teen is intent on improving that SAT or ACT score, Huntington can help. Check out our SAT prep and ACT prep programs for students who seek to improve on one or more SAT/ACT sections or raise their overall score. While the above tasks involve both you and your teen, here are several to-dos that are your teens responsibility: Visit the guidance counselor. Theres so much to keep track of during senior year. The guidance counseling office is a great resource for information. Encourage your teen to stop by early in the school year to ensure your family is on track with all college-related tasks. Register for the SAT or ACT one final time. If your teen wants to raise a score, fall is the best opportunity to do so before college deadlines come up. The February ACT exam is a last-chance option as well, depending on colleges application deadlines (the SAT isnt offered in January or February). Register for all required tests. Those include the SAT, ACT, Subject Tests and Advanced Placement exams. Narrow the list of colleges. Your teen should decide on the top colleges on his or her list and collect all important information, such as application deadlines, application requirements (e.g. letters of recommendation or admissions essays) and scholarship/financial aid deadlines. Request any letters of recommendation. Colleges that require such letters will expect them with your teens application package, so it is important for your teen to make such requests of teachers/counselors as early in the school year as possible. Work on the essay. If a college requires it, your teen should give the admissions essay sufficient time and attention. Its best to have a teacher review and edit the essay before it goes into the application package. Start completing all applications in the fall. Early decision/early action deadlines can be as soon as November 1. Regular application deadlines tend to vary, but could also come as soon as January. Assemble a list of all scholarship possibilities and start applying. Many scholarship deadlines fall between October and March, so by mid-fall semester, your teen should begin submitting those applications. Read our blog post on how to tackle the scholarship search. Review acceptances and make a decision. Together, you and your teen should review and compare financial aid packages when they arrive in the late winter/early spring and discuss what college is the best fit from a financial perspective. Then, your teen must make his or her decision based on the factors of most importance (those might include location, field of study and cost) and notify his or her college of choice. Need help getting your teen prepared for the SAT/ACT, SAT Subject or Advanced Placement exams? Want to help your teen finish high school with a strong report card?

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.)

Study Apps 101 The Best Study Tools for You

Study Apps 101 The Best Study Tools for You Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/study-school-learn-education-1968077/ StudyBlue StudyBlue is a website/app in which you can create notecards and study guides. It isn’t anything fancy, but it is definitely extremely helpful when preparing for an exam. Not only do you have the ability to create your own study guides and flashcards, but you can also input your university name and a specific course to see if anyone else has created anything for a class you are taking. However, this feature is only available to those who pay for premium, which is only $7 a month! If you are looking through old quizzes and realize that you got something wrong and don’t know why, you can even copy and paste that quiz question into the StudyBlue search engine and it will give you (if available) the answers to that question posted by other students. The beauty of StudyBlue is that you can either use it as an application or directly access it online. If you are willing to pay the extra $7-$10 for premium, I highly recommend it because StudyBlue is also extremely helpful for everyday homework assignments. StudyBlue also has a feature called “Homework Help” in which you can directly ask any question and they can help you retrieve the simplest and most accurate answers. The example given on their website shows a person asking “What are the stages of mitosis” and the app came up with the written-out stages as well as visuals to answer the question (aka, StudyBlue caters to every type of learner there is). StudyBuddy StudyBuddy basically offers exactly what it says in the title: a study buddy! Basically, StudyBuddy is an online tutoring system in which you can find a tutor and work with them from the comforts of your own bed. All you have to do is create an account and boom, you’re all set to start working with someone. If you are having trouble with calculus, all you have to do is type in the course name and then you can select a tutor either from your university or some other university around the world! It sounds too good to be true I know, but the tutors online are those who volunteer and want to tutor, so you know that they are willing to put in the extra time with you so you can succeed. Each session comes with a blank whiteboard to write on, a chat section so that you can virtually talk to your tutor, and an automatic save option so that you can save your session and review it as many times as you need to in order to do well on your exams. If you are concerned about your tutor giving you the wrong information, I want to ease your concerns with a direct message from the StudyBuddy website: “All student tutors are honor students who are members of Mu Alpha Theta or recommended by their teachers.” Not only do your tutors want to be there, but they are carefully selected (aka not just any student can become a tutor). These tutors are well-seasoned and, since they are students, they understand the stress of school and will work with you in a way so that you don’t ever feel like they are your superiors. RescueTime RescueTime is a computer time software that helps you track your activity on certain websites. It runs a security test on your computer so that it can see what your daily computer habits are like and then it gives you a rundown of where you are spending your time when you are on the computer. This is a great software to have while you’re studying because you can set it up so that it gives you alerts on when you should be entering a website or when you should probably shutoff a website. For example, if you spend too much time on Facebook while studying, set up the software so that it alerts you when you’ve spent two hours on Facebook, or however long you want the timing to be set for. The software will always give you a rundown of your time on the computer, but it can also be used to block websites you want to avoid while studying (for me, I would use it to block any and all clothing websites). You can also use it as a way to improve your time writing e-mails or your time in meetings; it helps you use your time efficiently and effectively. Even though RescueTime isn’t going to help you create study guides, it will help you stay focused and keep your priorities straight, which is equally important as actually creating notecards and other study tools. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/idea-competence-vision-target-3083106/ Studying is hard, especially when you try to do everything on your own without asking for help. I am telling you, as a senior, that these apps are integral to college students’ academic success. Even if an app costs some money, try and budget your expenses so that you can purchase that app because it’s worth it and your academics are extremely important. Hold yourself accountable but use these apps to aid you in all of your academic ventures. Whether you need to write an essay, study for an exam, memorize math equations, or learn a new language, these apps can help you. However, in order for these apps to help you, you need to put in the time and effort as well; apps are just a tool to help you, they aren’t going to do the work for you. Good luck and happy studying!
