    There are situation in which the child loves school.  It is almost an extended family.  S/he had friends and feels safe and comfortable.

    There are cases where the child hates school, sees attendance on the l […]

    • No disagreement with what you’ve said. School was always a place I liked to be. But I do realize it’s not that way for all kids. Usually when kids don’t like going to school it can be narrowed down to three things: (1) The other schools kids are doing something to make them dislike going to school. (2) The teachers aren’t teaching and/or treating them well. (3) Or it’s both!

      As long as the school environment is not a place where the student is afraid because they feel threatened, then my advice to the student is:
      ~ try to avoid the nuisance classmate who makes it their mission to annoy you or the one who tries to influence to do things you shouldn’t be doing and get you in trouble,
      ~ try to tolerate the teacher who probably isn’t the best teacher in the world and learn what you can, and
      ~ if you find activities to do that you really like, enjoy yourself!

      Tell the kids that school doesn’t last forever and they’ll be out before they know it. Also give them a heads up about what happens AFTER school! “Hey kid! If you think school sucks, wait until you get into the work world. Hope you find a job you like!”

      • You have to be ‘hands on’ as a parent. For example, I was in the Supermarket and saw two of my daughter’s classmates who told me that the teacher had thrown her out of the class and said that any student who helped her.

        When I got home my daughter didn’t want to tell me what happened. I wrote a letter to the school, I went up there… the principal said he’d deal with it.

        A year later they fired the teacher, she took them to Court and my letter was key in insuring she was gone.

        If I was a laid back Mom or hadn’t heard, my child would have suffered.

        She loved school, so you can see the effect on her.

        • Don’t want to fight but sometimes you’ve got to. Some people push you until you do! Glad it worked out for you and your daughter. Too bad it had to get ugly like that. 🙁

    • And don’t forget bullying. It doesn’t just affect children’s currently, it also leads to many complications with personality when they grow up. Imagine a child who never had friends during elementary school to try and look for a group to hang out with in high school. That kid never even developed any social abilities to help itself.

    • When i was in elementary i really hate going to school that’s why im always absent and my mom always get mad at me and spank me whenever i have my tantrums but it change when i go to my secondary education. I use to be active in school and study very well. I still remember way back then, my favorite subject is history and science which got my attention well.

    • I have studied many cases those who hate for going school becomes intelligent more than those who go school regularly. School is just the place of discipline and no education at schools. Every great man hated going school because school snatches human intelligence and bound students do what the teacher says. History is full of such persons who hated school and got international fame. Shakespeare is one of them. In modern age I will recite just one example of Rabindranath Tagore. Who hated going school but git Nobel Prize in literature.

      Listen what he says about the school.

      Rabindranath Tagore — born 1861; died 1941

      winner of the 1913 Nobel Prize in literature

      Tagore was a superb writer and one of the founders of modern Bengali literature. He was the first non-Western author to win the Nobel literature prize.
      [School] forcibly snatches away children from a world full of the mystery of God’s own handiwork, full of the suggestiveness of personality. It is a mere method of discipline which refuses to take into account the individual.

      It is a manufactory specially designed for grinding out uniform results. It follows an imaginary straight line of the average in digging its channel of education. But life’s line is not the straight line, for it is fond of playing the see-saw with the line of the average, bringing upon its head the rebuke of the school. For according to the school life is perfect when it allows itself to be treated as dead, to be cut into symmetrical conveniences.

      And this was the cause of my suffering when I was sent to school. . . . I was not a creation of the schoolmaster,–the Government Board of Education was not consulted when I took birth in the world. But was that any reason why they should wreak vengeance upon me for this oversight of my creator? . . .

      So my mind had to accept the tight-fitting encasement of the school which, being like the shoes of a mandarin woman, pinched and bruised my nature on all sides and at every movement. I was fortunate enough in extricating myself before insensibility set in.

      No think in lone what is the role of school in making men great.

    • Yes, different people have different views about one thing but we must try to know what is reality working behind it. The profiles of online dating scammers can exhibit some clear signs that something is off—you just need to know what to look for. Most scammers choose victims that are older than they are, for example, so if someone who is significantly younger than you says that they’re interested, it could be cause for concern. Of course, just because someone is younger doesn’t mean that they’re a scammer; it’s just something to keep in mind.

      Scammers also often list themselves as widowed (especially with a child), self-employed, or working overseas. They might also say that they live near you, but that they’re away; they could be in another country on a trip or for work, but they’ll almost certainly be somewhere far away where you can’t meet them.

      Scammers are good at being charming and saying all the right things—and they start it fast. They have a lot of victims to get through, so they’re going to try to move things along as quickly as possible. They’ll hit you with the full force of their charm; they’ll say sweet things, compliment you a lot, and talk about how perfect you are for each other within the first couple weeks.

      Think about if you would find it strange for someone to be acting like this if you just met in real life. If someone was expressing over-the-top love and passion within a couple weeks, you’d be worried.

    Exactly.   The time wasted kills the item… so putting it somewhere else and 3 days later hearing it was rejected…  That really isn’t good enough.

    In ancient days,  before disposable diapers,  parents would begin toilet training as soon as a child could sit.

    • This is indeed is good research. Never knew about the impact toilet training could have on a child. But it takes time for the mother to get that done.
      My neighbour’s little fellow took very long. He would climb up on a stool, open the cupboard and pull out pampers and put them on himself and would be quite happy. (lol)

      • Imagine a child of that age, still sitting in his own filth. A child who can diaper himself but can’t control his bowels.

        It’s just lazy feral parenting.

    • In psychology, Sigmund Freud talked something about what he calls the anal phase. Its the time when a child becomes really aggressive. However, it is also the time when children are taught to be toilet trained. If they are trained during this period, they will enjoy holding their emotions, thoughts and everything that wants to get out from their minds when they get older. But they will enjoy releasing those thoughts if they were not trained at all.

      • It is called discipline. That one can control themselves. When a little baby has the ‘power’ of his bowels he can have the power over his mouth. The self-awareness is vital

    There is no mystery that LB has no money.   To slow down a writer’s reaching the ‘threshold’ allows them to gain the usage of an item they are not paying for.

    For example;  You join May 1.   You write and write, and by the 10th you have $2.00.   You write and write but by June 10 you have $9.76.   You write and write and by July 10 you have $11.…[Read more]

    • Ebooks are an expanding market and thanks to book retailers like Amazon, B&N, and Kobo; they allow you to upload your finished book onto the site to sell.

    • Ebook publishing is easy as you say but I have not make its experience practically you have not written how to public an ebook and what its benefits we shall obtain.

      Typically, an eBook reader hand-held device weighs from about twenty-two ounces to three or four pounds and can store from four thousand to over half a million pages of text and graphics. A popular feature is its back-lit screen (which makes reading in the dark possible).

      Some eBooks can be downloaded for free or at reduced cost, however, prices for many eBooks – especially bestsellers – are similar to those of hardcover books, and are sometimes higher. Most eBooks at Barnes and Noble, for example, are comparable in price to their traditional print versions.

      • There are a number of e book publishing sites with their own rules and requirements. I can’t give a general picture. One need merely do a search.

    • Scuba beach is famous for diving all over the world because here diving is more dangerous than place in the world due to deep water and rock debris under water of blue color. People come here for diving with family and friends.

      If some has money and time he must go to visit Scuba beach to enjoy its diving I think that Boracay is world famous for its beautiful white-sand beaches and its water activities, particularly scuba diving. Boracay is full of beautiful coral reefs and abundant with fish life; enjoyable to both new and experienced divers.
      There are around 30 dive sites around Boracay accessible by a short boat ride. Most of these dive sites are accessible in high season on the west side of the island, this is typically between October and May. During low season; June to September, the east side of the island opens up and still offers some good dive sites like Laguna de Boracay, where a local Sea Turtle is often sighted.

      If you have never tried scuba diving before and you would like to give it a try, why not check out our Introduction diving experience or Open Water certification should you want to become a certified diver. For new divers, dive sites like Angol Point, Coral Gardens and Laguna de Boracay offer a great introduction to diving with colourful reef life and stunning coral providing home to parrot fishes, damsel fishes, butterfly fishes and turtles. These dive sites are also favourites of experienced divers who like to find macro life, moray eels and other rare creatures in deeper waters.
