Falling Behind

In the United States, the educational system is not completely true. Compared with other countries, the United States is late. According to CNN, "American children are not necessarily smart or clumsy, but according to the data cited by Arn Duncan Education Minister on Tuesday this may not be enough to compete on a global scale" . Special analysis National Education Statistics Center compares 15 year old American students and students from other countries of the Economic Development Organization.

In the United States, I realize that many children are behind benchmarks necessary for basic academic performance. Children will have trouble coming back when children fall below their grade level. This is especially true for difficult subjects such as mathematics and reading. The main advantage of prolonging school days is that students can increase the time they study. Teachers can give each student a one-on-one time in the classroom, allowing individuals to deal with specific weaknesses. Even if IEP is not permitted by students, problem solving areas of each student can run educational programs to modify them. Intensive coaching is also possible

What's wrong? In Singapore, Shanghai, Helsinki and other countries, people are panic in general about the reversion of American students in science and mathematics, but the times of the students are similar. The grade is not extended. The ratio of teacher and student does not seem to change very much. No, our children will catch up with their damn time to East Asian children. If you spend the day in the office - the school is almost what our children are doing for work - you have to go home and do office work for an additional 4 hours. Monday through Friday. Plus Esme will do homework every weekend. If your job requires a kind of work after work, how long will you last?

As soon as you are late, you will not be able to join that class. When you miss the course, then you do not know what to do, you are late. If you are late, your grades will be overlooked and dropped. As your grades go down, you lose your grades so you have to start over again. If you do not reach this level and you have to do this, you will be late and it will keep your permanent record. If it says your recording is not upgrading, you can not find a good job and you can find a low wage job at McDonald's.

This is a simple fact. If the children do not study, they will have trouble going through high school. Children who are not studying are late for school. I believe that if you can turn your child into reading book you can save your life. This is something I am trying to do, in cooperation with my parents, teachers, librarians, publishers, other authors, bookstores - I want to save my life. I have created a website, ReadKiddoRead.com, to help parents and teachers find the books they love - turn them into books for lifelong readers. But parents need to participate, and this work starts at home. Parents need to confirm that their children are reading. They need to understand this: no one hates reading. Some children like to read, children are reading the wrong book. We need to help them find the right book
