You May Not Like School, But................

You don’t really have a choice… please keep reading what the statistics reveal about staying in school…

High school graduation rates reached a record high of 80% in 2012!
That would be great news, if it wasn’t for the fact that this “record-high” rate meant a full 20%, or one in five kids, didn’t finish the most basic level of education.

It’s possible that those who didn’t graduate got a General Education Development (GED) certificate instead, or will at a later point, but people with a GED tend to fare as well economically as those who got neither a diploma nor a GED.

So while reaching the 80% mark might be a move in the right direction, this is not a number that brings a lot of cheer.

And then there’s college… The percentage of the population with a college degree has

Studying with ADHD: Hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder

You are not alone if you have 

attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Study skills series: Index study system

Here is a method of studying that gives you

an accurate perception of how well you know the material,
and forces you to think about it, rather than just look over it.

Review your notes and readings frequently, so the material is "fresh"

As you're reading your text or reviewing your notes,
write down questions about the material.
Imagine you're teaching the course. What questions would you ask on the exam?

Keep track of any terms you need to know

Try the index card system:

1. Write each question or term on the back of an index card
2. On the front of each index card, write an answer
   or an explanation for the question or term on the back.
   Use your notes and text for a reference, but put the answer or explanation in your own words whenever possible
3. Shuffle the index cardsso you can't figure out any answers based on their location in the deck
4. Look at the card on the top of the deck:
   Try to answer the question or explain the term.
