What is the role of Education?
Today, children are suffering from a lack of human guidance. They exist in a virtual world of texting and social networking sites. Their role models live in cyberspace, doling out advice, instilling cyber-values, and beliefs. Cyberspace is an exciting world where anything can happen, and kids can be who they want to be. It can be a magical world where they can meet new friends. Unfortunately, some have used this space to exploit others. Masquerading as friends, virtual predators seduce children and alter their lives forever.
What is the role of our educational systems in supporting these children as they navigate the problems of self, community, family, teachers, Internet, and cell phones?
The follow-up question is, “Are children receiving the best education to prepare for the challenges of life, people, and education?” This question resonates loudly among government agencies, educators, health care providers, and parents, especially in the wake of the Newtown tragedy, as well as the manhunt in CA. I believe the core of this debate centers on defining “education and the role of schools.” The role of education has always been to prepare the next generation’s workforce, to sustain our economy, and to keep the government going, among others.
This is my area of interest, and I hope to share my thoughts on this topic in a two-part series. The emphasis is on upstream interventions and the universal promotion of health and well-being in schools.

Adsense is actually a really great program for those
who maintain blogs, as blogs get updated all the time and the Adsense possibilities are almost
limitless. These pre-computed numbers, hold on in a very giant information bank
for millions or URLs on the net. But it seems Memorial Day
wasn’t important enough to Google.

Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so
I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
WordPress and google have both WYSIWYG editors and HTML. It helps to know some HTML and CSS.
All are templates with limited flexibility to customize.

I certainly agree with your assessment. Education should prepare people to know things, how to apply said knowledge constructively, get employment (or start their own business), and use their skills to help others. I certainly realized some facts of what I (wasn’t) taught in my life when it comes to certain parts of history, networking, and other tiny factors.
