Education & Reference - 18 December 2007

I am a first year second grade teacher. The father of one of my TAG students pops in randomly during the year to observe. At the beginning of the year he told me he runs his own business, so I assume he's got a pretty open schedule.

Anyway, he only comes to observe me when I am teaching math toward the end of the day. Why is this? Is he concerned that his child is not getting adequate math instruction? I don't know how to ask without sounding rude.

I'm in my first year of community college and i was wondering if i could still become a doctor. I slacked off during high school, and it just hit me that i need to start my life. What are the steps to getting into medical school? What classes should i take pre-medical school? Any information would help. Thank you.

Learning another language at a young age can be beneficial in a number of ways. For one thing, it is easier for children to learn to pronounce the words perfectly. As the child grows, their language skills improve almost effortlessly and they understand others around them and make better listeners. It is a good idea to take advantage of the fact that youth are quick to comprehend another language.
Learning a foreign language is difficult for people. They have to memorize sentence structures, use basic grammar to make sentences flow, and speak as well as native speakers. Young children, however, learn a language without too much stress. They speak to native speakers as words pop up in their heads and have better listening skills than adults. Hence, young students are more likely to succeed in mastering a language.
