Assignments Are Due

sillykhan Education, Uncategorized , , , , ,

I think students who take courses online classes are busier than ever before. They have a job, life, school, and children, or taking care of an elderly parent.  Are they stressed out? Of course, they are. They must manage everything and even staying up late to finish an assignment.

Time management and scheduling are the keys to be successful.  Students have two jobs. They work at their 9 to 5 job, and when they get home, they have to do more things to prepare themselves for the next task they have to do. In other words, personal stuff. And if they have a child or an older adult. They have more priority than education. Staying in good health is necessary and staying alive too.

I don’t understand why professors give the student more assignments to do. Professors tell their student to prioritize what they need to do. Have a calendar on hand, make a schedule and make time for yourself too. Other students maybe lazy and they forgot what assignments they need to do. Some students are smart, and they do assignments on time. Professors want to teach the students how to be responsible but calling their parents and telling that they missed a task – is not a good idea. Reminding the whole class when the assignment is due is the proper thing to do. If you think I am wrong, it’s like Professor doesn’t care about their students anymore and they get a bad review when the students must evaluate the professors at the end of the semester. The professors receive a grade too. Professors remind your students constantly when the assignments are due. If you think I am wrong, why you didn’t you get the award for the professor of the year award?

The professors can spam the students in their school email account and their blackboard and Moodle account to make sure they do the assignments.

Social Media helps too. But it could be awkward if you are besties with your professor on snap chat, Facebook, or Instagram. Pictures. Whoa.

The professors keep telling their students they had to be responsible for everything of they have to learn and prepared for anything. Do they still do pop quizzes in colleges, universities, and online? Students read your syllabus. If the students can’t read the syllabus, get the audio portion of the syllabus. Do they do that? Have an audio part of the syllabus? If so, that’s great, if not – you are lost.

Professors should limit their assignment or give them choices of what to do. Because students have a load of assignments and projects to do and deadlines are due.  Students need rest and sleep too. If a student gives a professor an apple, use it to your advantage, if a student is sleeping in your class throw the apple at them.

Blackboard and Moodle are now together and more convenient to do their assignments and use discussing boards to talk back and forth. It’s like a classroom where you do not have to raise your hand but engage in conservation of the subject or get help. Using a video chat may help, who wants to see a person either half-naked in their pajamas or seeing someone in the background doing inappropriate things.

Bulletproof Kids

sillykhan Crime, Education, Uncategorized , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

Bookbags 1So, how do we stay safe in schools? Every day a student witnesses some kind of violence either it’s a fight or some commotion with a student and teacher. Does it get reported? Not to the public, but to the principal and the principal handle the disciplined action to the student.  For school shooting, that’s another problem, every day there’s a school shooting or an incident.  The school needs to have more drills, not just fire drills, but different scenarios of what could happen. You will never know it could happen to your school. The priority is the student safety not the performance of the school. If there are safe the performance of the school will be better.

In NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, a school in Southwestern High School in Indiana, the classroom doors are bullet-resistant, cameras are everywhere, and the Sheriff’s department — only 10 miles away — can track an intruder in real-time.  The school is high tech. They have smoke bombs to confuse the intruder. It looks like a scene from a movie, but it is real life. The teachers have a panic button to alert the police and the school administration. They also have an emergency call box to alert the police.

In the classroom, they have red tape on the floor of where to go.  The student topples the desk over and they used old thick books such as dictionaries to shield themselves from flying bullets. Or have a collection of old books to throw at an intruder. War and Peace the novel, put it to use.

Another solution is the whiteboard in the classroom if it is stuck to the wall just have a surfboard in the classroom. If the students are curious about the surfboard. Just tell them you like to go surfing, the students will tell you the beach is 500 miles away. They have lakes. The surfboard can stop a 9mm Glock.  The AR-15 a semi-automatic rifle, no chance for the surfboard.

You need a bulletproof shield that consists of 40 layers of compressed Dyneema, a strong synthetic fiber, giving them the bullet-stopping power of steel while weighing significantly less. The same material that is used to skis and snowboard, if you have these materials in your house, keep them they are useful. Hardwire produces bulletproof backpack inserts, whiteboards, and adhesive doors.

There’s a company called Elite Sterling Security LLC (www.elitesterlingsecurity.com) they provide body armor for grade school to high school and other body armor for adults too. It’s a USA based company in Denver, Colorado. Please check out their site.

Your Children Future

sillykhan Education, Uncategorized , , , , , , , , , ,

Do you want to prepare your children for the future? How do you do it? First, let your children be children, and let them grow. But when they go to high school it’s time to be serious. They have to be prepared for the S.A.T test and pick the right college or university to further their education. They have skills. Can their skills change the future? Could they be the next president without the scandals they have in the past?

How would they survive? That’s the parent’s problem. Parents have to teach and train their child to be better than themselves. Parents make mistakes too. But the parents must teach their child to be a better person and smarter.

In high school, they must learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM; this applies to acting, business, and cooks.  And technology engineering companies. Engineering technology is a must and applies to everywhere, building computers, building the latest software and building much stuff to make our lives a better in the future. Movies influence us of what the future would look like. If we could make that in reality, it would be great. And they need a teen life too like going to prom and school activities.

What we have to do is to influence our children, it all starts with the parents. Teacher and professors are the resources and shape them to be a better person in the future. School and universities have laboratories and the latest technology they need to get ahead. Why blow up the garage and home, if it is insured.

Don’t start them late, or they end up in a garage forming a band that goes nowhere, or homeless.  They need a stable future and career.

It all starts at home and parents. Make that change.

 

Santa Clause is Bury in Turkey

Santa Cluase

Do you believe in Santa Clause? Do you think he was real? If you say “yes,” he was real.  If you say “No” you had better watch out because he’s making a list and checking it twice trying to find out who’s naughty or nice.

Santa Clause Tomb

Archeologist had found his tomb and gravesite in a church in Southern Turkey, underneath the church, in which his bones are being protected from looters.  The ironic part was in Turkey.  So what kind of music do Pilgrims like –Plymouth Rock?

Santa Clasuse 3

Anyway, Saint Nicholas was 4th-century bishop who inspires the modern myth of Santa and his gift giving. So would that make that reindeers cannot fly?

IT

sillykhan Education, Movie Reviews, Uncategorized , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Cast of IT 1

Did Stephen King frighten us? Did the movie “IT” scare you? Will you have nightmares? And what you going to wear for Halloween? A clown with a red a balloon? Walking slowing in the middle of the road and scaring children to drop their candy for you can grab the candy for yourself? That’s a good idea to do.

What inspires him to write IT? It was Trolls living underneath the bridge or sometimes tunnels. Logically, he came up with sewers drain and the plot was pure psychologically thriller. Even though the movie version was rated “R”, but it was intentionally for NC17, meaning more gruesome and other wilder scenes for the children can do very inappropriate things, that was in the book, not in the movie. They decided to stick to the movie and edit some of the scenes and make it appropriately for rated “R”, which makes sense.

The plot is seven young outcasts in Derry, Maine is about to face their worst nightmare — an ancient, shape-shifting evil that emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town’s children. Banding together over the course of one horrifying summer, the friends must overcome their own personal fears to battle the murderous, bloodthirsty clown known as Pennywise.

Even the book was terrified to read, the description in the book gave me nightmares. Here’s a tip: never fall asleep in the book that you selected to read and do a book report for high school. My sister scared me by popping a red balloon. Even scarier, she had on clown makeup on, it was her mascara bleeding from her face and it wasn’t Halloween.

Did you know the novel “It” won the British Fantasy Award in 1987, and received nominations for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards that same year? And it was a bestselling novel in 1986 too.

Wow, that’s impressive. The best way to learn English is to read a Stephen King novel. In 1966, King studied at the University of Maine, graduating in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and he was a certified English Teacher in high school. He found out the teacher pay was not good enough but his writing was selling and making more money than teaching.

The first chapter of the movie will be about the kids and the second chapter will be about the adults. The movie will come either in one or two years. Just read the book.

The movie itself was scary to watch and the language of the guys was a mouthful. There a few gruesome scenes not too many and a fatal fall. Did he survey? It’s scary and gruesome to watch. So go see it.

Solar Eclipse 2017

sillykhan Education, Uncategorized , , , ,

eclipse 3a

When I heard, there will be an Eclipse coming soon in August of 2017. First I thought it was the Twilight Saga Eclipse, the movie. Or the TV show Heroes, they have an eclipse in their logo. The eclipse is the real thing. The next solar eclipse will be on April 8, 2024. So, if I was you, please be prepared for the next one or watch your local news for weather updates.

A solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. In other words, when someone stands in front and won’t move – annoying siblings.

There will be some darkness in the afternoon, so if you are at work, and it turns dark around 1:22 pm. Just tell your boss you need the night off. Then he would tell you “You just got here!” – that would be awkward.

Seriously, this Solar Eclipse can be deadly once it is passed through the United States, from the northwestern side of the united states to the south-eastern side. Wear protected glasses or just stay indoors and watch Solar Eclipse on TV, where it would be safe. Bring your animals in too. Put them in the barn if you have one.

Rumors speculate they would be massive destruction such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hot springs, and tsunami. We have fault lines all over the United States and not know it. The totality will reach Oregon at 10:00 AM Pacific time and will end in South Carolina at 3:00 PM Eastern time. That means it will take 1 hour and 33 minutes to cross the country and a two minutes show.

The weather, so if there was a heat wave, the temperature will drop and it will cool down. The animals will be confused such as dogs, cats, and farm animals too, so be aware, watch your animals. Bats will come out assuming it is night time, and crickets will chirp.

So, if you feel lightheaded and have vertigo, please be aware it could affect the human body too. It will feel like a gravitational pull. Take a video of the gravitational pull and share it on social media. When you do post it write a good description of what you saw.

NASA tweeted this week that Essex County, Massachusetts will be affected due to Witchcraft. Other, paranormal activity occurs with the full moon, which is true, but the Solar Eclipse could enhance it.

“There are naturally occurring electromagnetic lines throughout the entire earth,” said Carroll.  There’s another name that some people give these lines ‘ley lines.’ A ley line runs straight through South Carolina and the whole North America too.” he said. Dennis Carroll has many titles– published author, demonologist, and paranormal investigative researcher. If someone recently died in your house, you might get some unusually paranormal activity – just be aware.

Dude Where’s my Classes?

sillykhan Education, What to Read , , , , , , , , , , ,

Class pic

When your child enters a college or university, it will be so different than high school, no more bell sounds, the students will be all over in the hallways bumping into you, and they have to carry fifteen pounds of books on their back! I hope they have medical insurance for a chiropractor! It will be a different world when they enter.

First, they need a map of the campus to find all of the buildings they need to go for their classes. Most of the time they will spend their lives in the library, that’s the place to do homework. The dorm room is a place to sleep and do more homework.

Classes may be in different buildings or the other side of the campus. I hope they have the gym shoes, it’s time for the shoes to do some walking and it is the best time to do some cardio too.

Here’s a tip, try to have your classes nearby to other buildings, so you don’t have to rush or run to classes, and be late.  A possible a hand-written excuse from your professors to give? No. Don’t be late to classes.

Back in high school, they used to get up early for their eight o’clock classes or earlier for activities before classes.

Try to arrange your classes between 10:00 am through 2:30 pm, that means you still have to get up in the morning. Do you really want to get up five o’clock in the morning or before sunrise or see an apparition in your room that wasn’t supposed to be there? Your room is haunted!  You are up anyway, might as well get ready and finished that homework assignment. And eat breakfast.  And try to schedule any activities in the afternoon or evenings.  If a class is overbooked in the morning, don’t worry you won’t be dragged across the floor just schedule another time when it is available, if they have a midnight class, take it.

If you have a gap between classes don’t just sit there and do nothing or meditate, you might fall asleep on the couch or someone’s lap – that would be awkward if she’s attractive get her phone number.

Highlight the materials or rewrite your notes, in cursive to get a better understanding and prepared for the next class. Um, you all know that cursive is required in writing notes in class. Do you? Oh well.

Organize your backpack, have your notebook and books in order of class schedule times. Don’t leave your cell phone out; there’s a clock in the room, remember there is no class bell only your professor will excuse you.

Make sure you have the University app on your phone, this will alert you if there’s an emergency that the school has to close down due to weather.  Check your campus email. Check your assignment online too; there’s no excuse that your assignment will be late anymore. All of the assignments will be scan and monitor through online – that’s right your papers will be scanned for plagiarisms, even I don’t like it. I write well. However, the professor doesn’t read the papers anymore.
