Homeschooling For College – Be Sure to Include This Subject
Among other things, homeschool students are known for having a solid background in the subject areas of social sciences and literature, but one other subject must be included in a thorough and effective homeschooling program and that is the course study of basic computer skills. This may not be a subject area that many parents will think to include, as they assume that their child will have basic understanding just because they access social media and email, but these programs alone will not be enough training for your student as they leave for college soon.
Homeschool students planning to attend any type of college must be able to operate word processing programs, email attachments, on-line calendars, basic spreadsheets, and table features such as sorting and column insertion prior to entering the college world. These skills will be assumed, not taught, at that level, and the ability to complete college assignments will be severely limited for a student who does not possess these skills.

The Difference Between Being Smart, Educated, and Intelligent
I’ve always been intrigued by the subject of intelligence. As a child my mother would refer to me as “smart,” but I quickly noticed that all parents refer to their children as smart. In time I would discover that all children are not smart, just as all babies are not cute. If that were the case, we’d have a world full of beautiful, smart people – which we don’t.
Some of us are smart; but not as smart as we think, and others are smarter than they seem, which makes me wonder, how do we define smart? What makes one person smarter than another? When do “street smarts” matter more than “book smarts”? Can you be both smart and stupid? Is being smart more influenced by genetics or one’s environment?

Reproductive Health Education on Disadvantaged Adolescents in Thailand and India (case Study in Northern)
NEED AND CONTEXT
It has been observed that the recent economic growth in the Asian cities indicate that there has been a breakdown of traditional support systems such as the family because of rapid urbanization and modernization. Moreover, a large number of people are living below the poverty line in impoverished environment in urban and rural communities. Their acute needs for housing, food, health, education, and incomes are the very forces that push adolescents to look for a means of livelihood on the streets, engage in prostitution, be hooked up with crime/drug syndicates, or become victims of sexual and physical abuse. It is a battle of bare struggle for daily survival and contributes in every ways they can. Any measure to penalize parents of such children will only result in further abuse and oppression of people who are already disadvantaged. Such children struggle hard in getting the most essential requirements to meet the basic needs of life and such children need special attention and educational intervention. These disadvantaged adolescents are generally malnourished and often anemic; many of them physically stunted, suffer psychologically from undue family pressures and abuses and are neglected at home. They tend to develop low self-esteem from broken families, single-headed households because of the death, separation, or labor migration of one of their parents. Moreover, they live in slums and squatter communities, sub-human conditions and are susceptible to crime syndicates and gang conflicts, substance/drug abuse, and gambling.
