Cursive Be Taught In School? Cursive use to be an important part of everyday life at school. It was something that was a must learn at school. Now‚ there is arguments on whether or not cursive should still be taught or not. Should kids still have to learn how to read and write in cursive? My Opinion? I think yes. Many grown adults today write in cursive. It’s what they were taught in school. So what do you do when you get a letter from one of them and it’s in cursive? If you weren’t

offering you a free no-tech life hack‚ and all it requires of you is this: that you change your posture for two minutes. But before I give it away‚ I want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you’re doing with your body. So how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller? Maybe you’re hunching‚ crossing your legs‚ maybe wrapping your ankles. Sometimes we hold onto our arms like this. Sometimes we spread out. (Laughter) I see you.

They’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught By Susan Brady Konig In "They’ve Got to be Carefully Taught" by Susan Brady Konig‚ she writes about educating young children‚ as young as pre-school age about their ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Educators are teaching the children what country their ancestors came from and how that makes them all different‚ their hair color‚ their skin color‚ how they celebrate special occasions‚ the different foods they may eat.

Why Read Beowulf? By Robert F. Yeager Beowulf‚ the rousing Old English poem of man and monster‚ has been a classroom classic for generations. Its own survival as a text is nearly as epic as the story it tells. Beowulf’s presence among us reminds us upon what slender threads our knowledge of the past depends.

I find this to be an interesting response personally‚ and agree but have never thought of it in that kind of way.

Transformer What is a Transformer? A transformer is made from two coils‚ one on each side of a soft iron core. It can decrease the voltage (called a step down transformer). or increase the voltage (called a step up transformer‚ shown below). Alternating current is passed through the primary coil (the input) which creates a changing magnetic field in the iron core. The changing magnetic field then induces alternating current of the same frequency in the secondary coil (the output).

39 Questions to Understand Someone I recently was given the following questions by a friend of mine and challenged to try them out‚ on someone other than him. I have to say I am curious about how this would go but I am not sure if it is something I would actually do. The thought of letting a stranger know so much about me so quickly would be something so far outside of my comfort zone.
