"A good education starts at home with a stable home environment and parents that care about their children's performance.  If a parent is too busy working to check on their kids, the kids on average are not going to do as well.  That's common sense.  If the parent doesn't see the benefit of school, why would the child?"

 This is so true...

 

 

In the Netherlands we don’t only want our high-school children to know the things they need to learn, but also teach the way they learn the subject.

I am an intern at a high-school and I use different types of teaching techniques and different types of applications (smart board/internet), so we can teach them how to use different sources and how they can interpret them.

They need to judge the sources that they use and learn different study techniques, because not every student learns in the same way.
