Linguistic Safaris – 15 Minute Language Lessons For the Very Lazy
Opportunities exist everywhere to learn language. This is especially true when you are learning a second language within the country where it is spoken. However, when we travel or when we live day to day in a foreign culture we have to deal with a lot of difficulties, not just linguistic ones, and often we don’t find the time to make a conscious study of language. Here’s an idea of 15 minutes of language consciousness that can help you climb out of that rut.
Living in Paris, I need to speak French. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of patience for language study at this time, and sometimes I find myself going for weeks without making a concerted effort to improve my French skills. This is not good, because continued use of a foreign language for survival skills without constantly monitoring grammar rules can lead to fossilization, a pernicious and intractable set of interlanguage grammar rules.

Is it Easier to Get a Scholarship Playing One Sport or More
This is a good question that a number of young athletes face. You’re only 16 once and you want to enjoy everything high school has to offer. You meet new friends go to different places and learn new things playing different sports. Some are individual and some are team oriented and there are valuable experiences that you will take from each.
Yet, your main goal is to play sports at the next level and get an athletic scholarship. Then you better consider choosing one sport. As difficult as it is to make what seems to be an important decision when you’re so young can have a long term impact. Say you are good enough if you concentrated year round on a single sport to get an athletic scholarship. Four years of the average athletic scholarship at a public school can range in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and much more for a private school.

Special Education & Mainstreaming
In the district I work in, just like others across the United States, special education departments have been dismantled and special education certifications have been debunked.
Because special education certifications no longer carry the same weight as other teaching licenses, said educators no longer have the right to teach their own classes. This has lead to most special education students being taught in regular education classrooms.
This type of inclusion does not always work.
