Schoolnotes.com – This is a free Internet tool that allows educators to post our assignments online. All a parent or student needs to do is go to the site (from home or a public library) and type in their zip code. Any teacher who uses the service will be listed in alphabetical order, under the name of the school, and by grade or subject. Teachers can also provide their school email address, in case a parent or student needs homework clarification at night or wants to send a document when there's no printer available. Many parents who have Internet access at their jobs welcome the opportunity to check their child’s next-day assignments before they leave work. Imagine the look on their child’s face the first time mom or dad asks them if they brought home their study guides for tomorrow’s science test!
The I.O.U. Board – I have an I.O.U area on my board with the assignments students owe me (with their names listed below each assignment). If a child is absent during a test, or owes me a project, he or she can immediately see their debt. In my special ed classes, I also use this for students who owe work to their mainstream teachers.
Pocket folders, a cheap way to help kids – An inexpensive way for students to keep track of various written assignments they need to complete is to take a 2-pocket folder, available at any office supply store, and label the left side with “To Do” and the right side with “Completed.” They are ONLY allowed to put works-in-progress in this pocket folder. Once the assignments have been completed, the work can be transferred to the appropriate binders or notebooks that the teacher may require.

On Education / Homeschooling is a viable alternative to public schools 6/11/2007

fewer than 2 in 10 U.S. adults rate the
quality of public education in the nation today as "very good" or "excellent."
When looking at education reform initiatives and schooling options, one
that is often overlooked is homeschooling.
In the 2003 National
Spelling Bee, homeschooled children took two of the top seven spots. Remember,
only 3 percent of America's schoolchildren are homeschooled.
The
families of homeschooled children are clearly different from those of
traditional schoolchildren. Some 97 percent of homeschooled children live in
married couple households; the comparable number for public school students is
72 percent. Nearly 88 percent of homeschooled parents continued their own
education beyond high school; less than 50 percent of the general population
has attended college. The home environment of these students is supportive,
nurturing and encourages diligence -- homeschooled children watch less
television than do typical students. Contributing to the success and growth of
homeschooling are the technological advances that have made homeschooling
easier and provided parents with a vast wealth of information at the fingertips
of their computer keyboards. Through the Internet, research and support systems
abound -- they provide parents with educational tips, lesson plans and source
material.
without the often intrusive rules and regulations
imposed by school boards and administrators.
