  • Scholarships & Schools 101: Getting And Keeping References  By : Morgan D. James

  • Proposed Budget For The New York City Schools  By : Patricia Hawke
    In June 2006, the city announced a proposed operating budget of $14 billion for the New York City schools. Parents and educators are still waiting pessimistically to see the final cut.

    Assigning homework serves various educational needs.

    Predictions have been made in the past that someday, there will be civilian transportation to and from space. Some say that this dream may be on the horizon, and there will be hotels in space.

  • How Well Do You Communicate?  By : Brenda Townsend Hall
    I've noticed how many schools have difficulties that, when analyzed, are essentially communication problems. All organizations have to communicate externally and internally. As external communications affect enrolments, more effort is often put into external communications: PR, advertising, attendance at fairs and conferences, etc. than internal communications. A typical picture I receive is of a school where the administration exerts much effort in relating to its potential ...

  • Writing Graduate Application Essays Made Easy  By : Thomas Suh
    Unlike college application essays, questions for graduate personal statements or admission essays, are more inclined to ask for career plans and research experiences.
