Educating Our Youth
At a recent meeting of the Future Business Leaders of America Advisory Council, I heard some interesting, or should I say, disturbing comments. At least they were to me. We were discussing the need for a new program in high school education titled “Business Operations Support and Assistant Services. This program focused specifically on office support staff (or, using their words, telephone operator, order clerks, file clerks and receptionists). Now I ask you, when did you last hear of a job title Telephone Operator?
As the discussion progressed, it became evident that this proposed new program was almost identical to one currently titled “Business Management and Administrative Services.” When asked about the redundancy, we were told that this was what the business community perceived as a need. Further discussion led me to believe that this new program would be lowering, not raising, the bar set for support staff. Is this just another method of justifying lower wages, or is it honestly meeting the needs of the business community?
Adult Acne Skin Care – Reviving Your Youthful Essence
Do you long to eliminate those causes of adult acne once and for all? Is the skin care section the first place you go in your local pharmacy? There are so many new skin care products boasting that they remove all of the causes that you can keep busy looking for a long time.
But, how do you find a good product that actually works on acne causes effectively without harming too much of your natural skin’s youthful essence? Not all the oils in your skin are the cause of your acne. Some may even be trying to help your complexion preserve as much youth as possible.
What You Don’t Know About Violent Youth Can Hurt You and Your Students
School has only been in session a short time, and our teacher help area is being inundated with requests for aid for just a single problem area. Frankly, we are very concerned to be getting so many requests for help with students who are verbally abusing, defying or hitting their teacher. Yes, that sentence included the phrase “hitting their teacher.”
Even though you may not want to hear this, if you don’t have basic, mental health-based, violence prevention training, you are at risk of facing a serious violent act, potentially, even something like the recent school shootings. Conventional interventions always fail with the most out-of-control students. If you have ever found that “nothing works” to control some students, that is because standard methods are never effective tools to manage this population.
The Fountain of Youth Secret
There are many myths surrounding the Fountain of Youth. But
are they really all fairytales?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if such a fountain existed?
Certainly, there is no sparkling fountain, gushing magical
waters that you eagerly drink and then, mirror in hand,
watch as the years drop away in front of your very eyes.
