How does a good education in mexico translated to america (and the other way around)?
Obviously this is an extremely broad question, but i’m more interested in the general translation. If someone received a high school education in Mexico, would they be considered educated in America (or conversely). What are the focuses of education in Mexico in comparison to America? Anything you want to add would be helpful as well. I’m looking at education for a cultural anthropology project.
The standards do vary by country and what is considered good in one country is not necessarily considered good in the other./
How much more education would it take for a nurse to become a teacher?
I am stuck between the 2 careers so i am wondering i i get my RN degree and decide i want to be a teacher later how much more education do i need? bachelor of education? or do i have to complete an undergrad degree again then take the bachelor of education degree? i seen nurse educator degree but i think that’s for just working in universities and colleges that are training nurses right? or can you teach science to high school students with that as well?
The answer to your question depends on several factors. 1) The state in which you live as the rules for credentials vary by state 2) Do you have a BS or a BA in nursing or are you a nurse that does not require 4 years.
You might be able to just take a semester of education classes and student teach if you have a 4 year degree. Another option would be to become a school nurse.
The Keys to a Good Education
RECENTLY The New York Times featured a front-page story about Latoya, a 16-year-old high school student. She was 11, she said, when her father began to beat and sexually abuse her. Her mother, who used drugs, had left the family. “Home,” the newspaper reported, “was an abandoned apartment with no toilet, or a room where she was too afraid to sleep.” However, Latoya was exceptional. Despite all of this, earlier this year Latoya was president of the National Honor Society at her high school and maintained a B average in honors classes.
What can assist a child even from a bad environment to do well in school? Often, a key to a good education is having a caring adult—preferably one or both of the child’s own parents—who is supportive and deeply involved in the child’s education. One high school senior felt this was so important that she was moved to say: “It is only with parental support that children can survive in school.”
Most teachers agree. A New York City teacher claimed: “For every student who does well and gets through the educational system—and there are many—there is a parent who was there every step of the way.”
Parental Support, an Important Key
Reader’s Digest last year explored the question, “Why do some students do better than others?” One of the conclusions was that “strong families give kids an edge in school.” Parents of such families provide their children with loving attention and impart to them proper values and goals. But one parent noted: “You can’t give the proper guidance if you don’t know what’s going on at school.”
A good way to find out is to visit. A mother who makes visits wrote: “When I walk the halls of my daughter’s school, I hear foul, obscene language. Kids are making out everywhere—if it were a movie, it would be rated X.” Such visits may help you to appreciate how difficult it is for children today to get a good education, as well as to live a moral life.
Significantly, the publication The American Teacher 1994 noted: “Students who have been victims of violence are more likely to say their parents have infrequent communications with school, such as individual meetings with teachers, parents’ or group meetings, or visits to the school.”
A concerned mother revealed what parents need to do. “Be there!” she said. “Let the school administration know that you’re interested in what your child is learning. I visit school often and sit in on classes.” Another mother emphasized the value of being a child’s advocate. She explained: “My children have gone to the office to speak to a counselor and have literally been ignored. When my child brought me in the next day, they bent over backward to help me—and my child.”
This mother of four boys also stressed the importance of taking an interest in school activities that directly affect your child’s education. “Attend open house, the science fair—anything your children may be doing that parents are invited to,” she said. “This gives you opportunities to meet your child’s teachers. They need to know that you view your child’s education as a very important part of his life. When teachers know this, they are more inclined to put time and extra effort into your child.”
Cooperation With Teachers
Some parents may feel that they have more important things to do on evenings when schools schedule special occasions for parents to interact with teachers. Yet, really, what is more important than making yourself available to those who are trying to help your children get a good education? Good parent-teacher cooperation is vital!
In Russia there is a fine provision to enhance parent-teacher cooperation. All school assignments are recorded in what is called a Dnievnik—a daily activity record that is combined with a calendar. A student must bring his Dnievnik to each class and make it available to the teacher on request. Students must also show the Dnievnik to their parents, who are requested to sign it each week. As Victor Lobachov, a Moscow father of school-age children, noted, “this information helps parents to keep acquainted with the assignments and grades of their children.”
Teachers today, however, often complain that parents fail to take an interest in the education of their children. One high-school teacher in the United States said that he once sent out 63 letters to parents informing them of their children’s poor academic performance. Only three parents responded by contacting him!
Truly, that is sad! Parents should be deeply involved in their child’s education, which is primarily their responsibility. An educator stated the matter correctly when he said: “The primary objective of formal education is to support parents in producing responsible young adults.”
Thus, parents should take the initiative in getting to know their child’s teachers. As one parent said, “the teachers need to feel free to call you at anytime.” And parents should welcome—even encourage—teachers to speak openly about their child. Parents should ask such specific questions as: Are you having any problems with my child? Is he respectful? Does he attend all classes? Does he arrive on time?
What if the teacher says something about your child that is not favorable? Do not assume that it is untrue. Unfortunately, many youths who appear to live honorable lives at home or at their place of worship are actually living a double life. So listen respectfully to the teacher, and check out what he or she says.

Texas education is ranked as low as 50th What should we do to improve the quality of K-12 education in Texas?
Recently, the State Board of Education made national news for altering the K-12 textbook content and curriculum to reflect their ideological views. Texas education is ranked as low as 50th in effectiveness among the states. What should we do to improve the quality of K-12 education in Texas?
You guys should reverse the recent ruling of taking Jefferson out of Texan text books. That would be a good start. Also put a bit more effort into separation of church and state, that might get you Texans out of that situation.
Bright Future for Students Through Online Education
Knowing is not enough; one must apply what they have learnt! Without education this is not really possible. Education plays a very important role in today’s world. Just like oxygen is required by the body to survive, education is required by person for smooth running of life in general. Not only is education a source of knowledge, but it also helps to develop skills in an individual by the way of talking, leadership qualities, and general knowledge etc.
If people are educated, they can be aware of what is happening in the world around them, understand the issues and take steps and decisions accordingly. There are many options available to obtain education. Today, many students are choosing online education over the typical school and college experience. With many people working full-time or who have other commitments and obligations, not everyone can get to a college to attend class. Online education gives more flexibility and convenience for such people, than any other type of learning.
education centers can build a site for students and provide educational opportunities, training options to develop life skills and so on. It enables them to meet the demands of the workplaces that they might have to get to tomorrow. And today, more educators are looking to implement latest technology in learning to improve their standards. Video is the perfect medium for them to teach students in an advanced way. Teachers can record videos of lectures on any topic related to subjects, replicating activities, workshops, demonstrations, experimental procedures, etc and place them on sites to allow students to play them back and learn at any time. So learning can happen anywhere at any time – at their convenience. It helps them to develop their skills effectively.
Likeminded people can form a site and discuss on any issues related to subjects. Seminars and classes that are taken in other schools can also be recorded on video and be placed on site, allowing online students to make use of them. This will help them to get a clear idea about particular topics. These kinds of videos also happen to help other students to increase their confidence to get on the stage and prove their talents by taking seminars.
Apart from this, education counseling centers can also launch a site and highlight their services through videos. Nowadays choosing the right school for your child is not at all simple. So people want to find the right school and program, which best meet their child’s strengths and needs. Education counseling centers can utilize this opportunity and get across to potential customers effectively. They can record certain lectures and school details and their special programs in video and place them on site. They can also record videos that show off school campus, cafeteria, library, labs and so on and place them on site. This is sure to impress the parents those who are looking for information about best schools for their child’s needs.

Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate – or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.
It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.
The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.
The urethra — a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis — passes through the prostate.
In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include:
* a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty
* pain when urinating
* weak urinary stream
* infertility
* and sexual dysfunction.
To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.
TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.
It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.
So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

DUFFY – AN EDUCATION – SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE
Written by Duffy for the soundtrack of “An education“.
http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/07/14/an-education-movie-trailer/
If I’d known you were cheating me,
I would have saved myself and set you free.
If I learned you weren’t the loving kind,
I would have saved some peace of mind.
My friends told me you would break my heart,
And never last, we would surely part.
There’s no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you’re a liar.
People talk in this little town,
Rumours keep spreading all around.
And now word has it you’ve been foolin’ me,
I’m so blind that I cannot see.
My friends told me never to believe in you,
You never loved me you were never true.
There’s no smoke without fire,
Baby, baby you’re a liar.
No there’s no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you’re a liar.
You’re a liar
You’re a liar
You’re a liar
Baby you’re a liar.
There’s no light without a flame,
There’s no use in having you to blame.
No
There’s no smoke without fire.
Baby, baby you’re a liar.
You’re a liar
