Education > Adult Education Using technology with the adult learner

2 of 17

As I look up I see an older woman hesitate before coming through the doorway. She has a forced smile on her face and is nervously wringing her hands. This is a scene I've seen a thousand times before. The woman has spent her whole working life in a factory and now the business has moved its operations overseas or to Mexico. W... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Pets

47 of 138

I heard the dogs stirring at 4:30 am this morning, a half an hour later than usual. I kept still and quiet just in case they'd go back to sleep but it didn't happen. Sometimes it works. They came in and Max started talking, as Siberian Huskies are known to do. When I got up he went running into the kitchen. Sam waited un... More..

Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Do Malamutes and Siberians make good pets?

4 of 11

Who do you want in your pack?People laugh when I tell them my parents dogs ate the neighbor's cat. "No, really they did," I tell them. Yes, Siberians are known for eating cats and small dogs. If there are a lot of little animals around that you would like to get rid of then Siberians would make great pets for you. If you'd li... More..

A business plan is a document that gives important information about the business. You can use it to obtain funding and more importantly for guidance in running the business.

Education > Reading & Writing Skills What should be done in local schools to improve literacy?

9 of 20

Local schools should use any and all resources available to improve literacy. As an educator in job skills training programs and community colleges I see far too many adults struggling to learn because their reading skills are not at a level high enough for the material. The lack of literacy is holding these adults back from ... More..

Business > Nonprofits Should all nonprofits generate revenue?

13 of 19

Of course, all nonprofits should generate revenue. How else are they going to pay the expenses they generate in their operations? I work for a nonprofit and I would not be working for them if I wasn't sure they had a way to pay my salary, however miniscule it may be. Believe me I would love to volunteer my time for good cause... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Conservation Why it's important to teach our children about water conservation

5 of 7

Why teach our children anything? The reasons to teach our children about water conservation are the same reasons to teach our children about anything. The world is what we make it. If we show our children that it is okay to squander precious resources then they will squander precious resources and there will be nothing left w... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Taking "mommy time" without feeling guilty

60 of 73

When asked what she does, every mother's first response is "I'm a mother." After that she may be a wife and then she would probably define herself by her job. I propose that all women should first define themselves as a woman and then a mother, wife, etc. Taking mommy time is not about taking time away from the kids. It is ab... More..

Personal Finance > Smart Spending When shopping turns into a shopping disorder

21 of 24

For a little longer then the last decade, I have struggled with the almost constant, unexplained, compulsive need to shop. At times it feels as if I might die if I don't get to buy just one thing, anything. In addition to thinking about shopping when I am not doing it, I also think about why I need to shop so much. Where did ... More..
