Rather than being strict, I think it’s much more better if the teacher can be understanding. Keep in mind that a teacher's main responsibility is to communicate facts and information, teach techniques, open students to positive attitudes, and to convey knowledge. A student who is constantly...

Personally, I am in favor of PE being compulsory at the elementary and secondary levels. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fight child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. Also, PE is an aspect of school being about more than just book...

The dilemma of the creativity, which is especially true for artists, that they impose pressure on ourselves to make impressive, or at least good, creations. They often fall into thinking that their creations must be meaningful and make sense right off the bat, and if they are none of those...

The Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, it does give us a sound reason to conclude that his birth did not take place in December. Specifically, it was written in the Bible that when Jesus was born that there were "shepherds in the fields tending their flocks on the night" (Luke...

Education and poverty are inextricably intertwined because people living in poverty usually stop going to school so they can work, which leaves them without literacy and numeracy skills they need to further their careers. Their children, in turn, are in a similar situation years later, with...

For me, I think we should think about this for a second: Is school for developing individuality or is it used to develop the mind? A common misconception is that we shouldn't have uniforms in school because it prohibits individuality. If a school is meant for development individuality then yes I...

A school shouldn't dictate what someone does with their body - it is your body, not the school’s. Schools are institutions of learning and should provide opportunities for that, not judgment that is based on different standards of society. What the school can and should monitor would be that...

For me, I think the biggest problem today in education is how to make out students that are well balanced-mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. The curriculum today that are being taught at schools deals more with academic studies and information than it does with being...

Well for me, just as simple as breathing will do. Just take a really slow breath, count it out. 5 seconds in, hold for 2, and 5 seconds out. Just get in this present moment. Just be here right now, in this very moment, everything is ok. Look around yourself and just be present.

I think one way of encouraging someone into sports is to help them choose a sport to suit their age, tastes, and physical ability. Forcing someone to participate in a sport that doesn't interest them can lead to resistance or boredom. Also, help them to select a sport that is also affordable and...

It should be absolutely banned, no exception. We are already aware of the dangerous side of smoking like it can cause cancer, stroke and heart disease.

For me I think your purpose is about recognizing your own gifts and using them to contribute to the world—whether those gifts are playing beautiful music for others to enjoy, helping friends solve problems, or simply bringing more joy into the lives of those around you. Whatever it may be, once...

For me, I agree that it is highly important to teach grade school students the importance of healthy living. One way of doing this is incorporating healthy eating and physical activity across the curriculum in a fun and creative ways, like using child-friendly, tablet-based apps. Also, another...

Well, holidays are just not meant to give students a break in their routine classes. Some national holidays like National Heroes Day, or Independence Day, etc,. are occasions for the people to reminisce the significance of historical facts and the sacrifices symbolizing each holiday for the...

Art supports the development of emotional intelligence. Just like the way how Science and Mathematics develop the rational thinking of students. Art supports the expression of complex feelings that help kids feel better about themselves and helps them understand others by “seeing” what they have...

For me, I think it should be taught during high school, as at this age, students already have a developed understanding. Many countries, including Korea and Israel, require military service or training for students. This requirement teaches young people discipline, respect for authority...

As a teacher, whose goal is to help students learn effectively, I think it will be a good idea not to verbally reprimand and embarrass two students who are attracted to each other in front of their classmates. That is going to be traumatic on their part. I guess it would be best to let them be...

For one be a good reading "role model" for your students. Let them see you reading, and how much you enjoy reading books and magazines. Share your reading experiences with your students, and tell them what you've been reading and what you've gained or learned from these texts.

For me, this should be avoided. Bringing heavy backpacks can cause a lot of negative effects to the young students, such as poor posture, and even chronic back problems in other extreme cases. Some experts recommended investing in relatively light backpacks, which place the weight on the...

I am in favor of this, as junk foods are very unhealthy and can make fit, healthy human beings into obese, lazy people. Eating too much junk food can cause your life to be shortened, and this is terrible. This is why I believe that junk food should be banned totally in school canteens and premises.
