       Do you Support Public School Education
                          In America?

    Do you Support Public Education in Your Hometown?

    The Number of Parents working from Home has
    Increased 10 - fold since 1996. The number of parents
    attending Back to School Night,  Parent Conferences,  
    Parent Teacher organization,School Board and City
    Council meetings has not.
           It is time to begin the task of holding your local
    political representatives accountable. It is time to stop
    leaving the education of America's youth to the same
    group of people.

    When will the growth and prosperity of our
    city become mirrored in our public school system?
    The answer is a bleak one without the participation
    of every single resident, voter and homeowner.  
    Remember the promises from every single campaign
    that has taken place in recent memory.

    your involvement in local education. Attend a school
    board meeting and find out how your tax dollars are spent.
    This is a website for families. The world becomes a far less threatening
    place when Information is readily available to all. We have done a little research
    in order to compile links to various sources of information that is essential in
    helping parents support, influence and change when necessary, public education.
    Consider this site a road map on the way to the solution.  Let us take this one
    small step together. Below are links to my hometown.  Your
    hometown has the same information.   Englewood NJ residents use the links
    provided and stay informed.

  • We wish to aid parents in the search for information that
    will help in the creation and nurturing of the avid readers
    who will become tomorrow's leaders.
  • Prepare students for the standardized tests that are
    required for all students. Practice material is available for
    all of the tests.
  • We wish to increase the number of minority students
    earning diplomas, GEDs, and college degrees.
  • We encourage the concept of Scholarship, higher
    learning and advancement in chosen fields and the
    military.
  • We encourage the use of the public library on a regular
    basis. Not just for books, but for other valuable and free
    educational programs.
  • We search for affordable, interesting books, software &
    games that motivate children to read and develop study
    skills. It is very important that children also own books
    early in their development.
  • We seek ways to motivate students, families, and persons of all ages to practice
    good reading habits. Children mimic the behaviors that adults model. Reassure
    them that you are also still learning. Read. We share projects and links that may
    be used to motivate children to practice good study habits.

  • Educational experts the world over agree that participation in the Fine &
    performing Arts aid in the development of reading/math skills and the overall
    development of a strong academic student. Public schools in America are now
    required to infuse the Arts into Curriculum Development in order to fight the
    growing problem of illiteracy.  Only you can guarantee that this requirement is
    satisfied with more than just a teacher rolling a cart into an out of the way room,
    once in a 10 day cycle. That is what we have now in many communities.

  • What do you know about the state of the Arts in
    your Community?
  • Does your district publish a reading list?
  • Is the age appropriate reading list for your child
    taped to your refrigerator door?
  • Do you visit the public library on a regular basis to
    find these books.
  • Do you read these books with your children?

    European countries and Canada out distance us in making reading a priority and
    participation in the arts a viable classroom activity. Only you can change that.
  • We encourage reading, early instruction on the computer, creative play, dance,
    drama, photography, singing, crafts and the playing of musical instruments as
    pastimes. Combined with team sports, excellent schools now use valuable Arts
    activities to encourage productive, healthy and strong lifelong learners.


    Welcome to my webpage which is dedicated to the advancement of public education
    and the elimination of illiteracy wherever it may be found.

Test Taking: 10 Tips to help your child prepare
    1.  Talk about the test with your child to relieve his stress. It is important
    he stay relaxed during the test. If he knows your only request is for him to
    do his best, he will stay calm.

    2.  Encourage your child to listen carefully to all test-taking directions and
    to ask questions about any directions that are unclear.

    3.  Mark test days on your calendar so you and your child are both aware
    of the dates.

    4. Make sure your child gets her regular amount of sleep a few days
    before the test and the night of the test. Also ensure she eats a healthy
    breakfast. Avoid heavy breakfast foods that might make her groggy or
    sugary food that might make her hyper.

    5.  Encourage your child to study a little bit each night so he won't be
    forced to cram the night before the test.

    6.  Provide a quiet area with good lighting and few distractions to help
    your child study efficiently.

    7.  Help your student interpret the results when they become available. If
    it's a teacher-made test, review the results with your child and go over
    any mistakes she made to ensure she understands the concepts.

    8.  Talk to your child's teacher to find out what activities you can do at
    home that may improve your child's test performance.

    9.  Understand how test results are used and how they will affect your
    child's placement in school.

    10.  If there are major differences between standardized test scores and
    school grades, find out why.
