Ender's Game Summary
Content: Back on Earth, Ender's siblings Valentine and Peter have moved to the countryside of North Carolina with their parents. Peter's desire for world domination tempers his sadism somewhat, though he skins squirrels, and he decides to influence world politics by writing excellent commentary and opinion on what amounts to the Internet. He convinces Valentine to join him; he will be "Locke" the peacemaker, while she will be "Demosthenes" the warmonger, warning about the Russian plot to shift world power in their favor after the pending victory against the buggers. In the new world order, Peter will need to be seen as the peacemaker in order to gain respect and power. Ender is wildly successful but tired of all the training and the constant struggle against his teachers, who seem to be the true enemies. He also fears that he is becoming ruthless like Peter. Graff persuades Valentine to assert that Ender is not like Peter after all, which she always used to tell him to comfort him. This idea reaches Ender, and it helps him break free of the impasse in the fantasy game; he kisses a snake in the castle instead of killing it, and it turns into Valentine. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary |

Ender also continues his training. Ender is made commander of Dragon Army, which is newly formed and composed of many of the least able army recruits. Through his superior leadership and training skills, he works up Dragon Army into a clear victor time after time. Ender's army is so good that it is given seven battles in one week and keeps winning. One boy, Bean, stands out and is something of a young version of Ender himself. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary |

Meanwhile, Valentine and Peter, as Demosthenes and Locke, are beginning to have real influence in world politics. Graff takes Valentine to a lake house where Ender has been living, and she tells Ender about Peter's plan to essentially take over the world. Ender tells Valentine that he hates himself, because in order to beat his opponent, he has to understand him, and in understanding his opponent, he eventually grows to love him, and that it is in that moment--when he loves his enemy--that he destroys him. Valentine eventually convinces Ender to continue with his studies; the Earth and Valentine are worth fighting for. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary |

Content: Still, he worries that because he never beat Peter, perhaps he cannot beat the buggers. Ultimately he wants love, not victory; he wants Peter "to love me." Ender goes with Graff on the three-month voyage to Command School, on the satellite Eros. On Eros, Ender is tutored mainly by the teachers individually, together with one of the four "simulators" that act like the battleroom in preparing the Command students for the Third Invasion. After a year of practicing on the simulator, Ender wakes up one morning to an old man sitting in his room. It is the famed Mazer Rackham, who defeated the buggers in the Second Invasion. Mazer becomes his teacher and thus his enemy, because the only teacher worth having is one who acts as the enemy. Mazer has surpassing wisdom and cunning. Mazer and Ender watch the videos from the First and Second Invasions and learn strategy. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary |

Mazer becomes his teacher and thus his enemy, because the only teacher worth having is one who acts as the enemy. Mazer has surpassing wisdom and cunning. Mazer and Ender watch the videos from the First and Second Invasions and learn strategy. Mazer suggests that the buggers act unthinkingly on the orders of a queen bugger, so Ender and Mazer work from the assumption that they can beat the buggers through the individual initiative of excellent commanders acting on their own volition in battle. Ender learns that the Third Invasion is to be an invasion by humans of the bugger worlds and that starships are close to their bugger destinations. One new weapon they possess is a device called the Little Doctor, which can split apart molecules and cause a chain reaction so that anything in its expanding radius explodes as well. Ender is joined in the simulator by his old toon leaders, plus Alai, Shen, Carn Carby, and "all the best students that Ender had fought with or fought against, everyone that Ender had trusted in Battle School," who all become squadron leaders in the training. He directs them in their battle simulations as the supreme military commander of the force. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary |

Ender's Game Summary and Analysis of Chapter 14
Content: As the enemy formation closes in on them, Ender's fleet melts "into chaos," with his ships firing at any and all of the enemy ships and getting cut up themselves. After a few minutes of this feint, Ender organizes twelve remaining ships into a formation about halfway to the planet. At Ender's command, the ships drop straight toward the enemy's planet to use the M.D. Devices. At least one Little Doctor reaches the planet with its effects, because the planet suddenly begins to bubble, and within three seconds "the entire planet burst apart, becoming a sphere of bright dust, hurtling outward." Only the starships on the outer edge of the battle survive, including just two or three of the enemy ships. Gravity starts pulling the debris from the explosion back together. As Ender removes his headphones, the room is filled with noise of people laughing, shouting, weeping, and so on. Graff thanks him, and Ender is confused, since "it was his victory, not theirs, and a hollow one at that, a cheat; why did they act as if he had won with honor?" Mazer tells Ender that he made a hard choice, "End them or end us...Congratulations. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary-chapter-14 |

Content: Even so, one of them says that he likes Ender. When Ender gets home, his sister Valentine tells him that she is sorry that his monitor was removed (it suggests that he did not pass). Ender is glad is is gone. When Peter walks into the room, he immediately gets angry at Ender. Valentine says that without the monitor Ender is "like us," but Peter denies the claim because Ender wore the monitor for so long. Peter's ruthlessness comes out when he realizes that "they" can't check up on Ender through the monitor anymore, and he suggests a game of "buggers and astronauts"--Ender is always the bugger and gets beaten up by Peter. Peter pushes Ender down and presses on his groin with his foot, and then he kneels on Ender and threatens to kill him--until Valentine tells Peter that she would tell everyone that he murdered his younger brother. Even when Peter lets up, he tells the others, "So. Not today. But someday you two won't be together. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary-chapters-1-and-2 |

Content: From the beginning, Ender is an extremely bright but very cynical young boy. He understands that the nurse is lying when she says that the monitor removal will not hurt, realizing that every time an adult says that, it means that it really will hurt. From such experiences, he infers that lies are more dependable than the truth. This is a cynical point of view for anyone, but it is especially cynical for a boy that young. The author has presented a future in which many children are not carefree anymore; indeed, Ender and his siblings, and even his classmates, seem mature far beyond their years. Ender's real name is Andrew Wiggin, but Ender is the name he chose for himself. All but his parents tend to use it. The nickname "Ender" is significant in that it foreshadows his eventual role in ending the bugger war.

Content: Ender despises them and fears them, since he is reminded of Peter's violent jealousy. Ender studies videos of the first two bugger invasions, trying to learn from the bugger formations and the fleets that beat them back. Most of the films are meaningless propaganda, however. The other commanders start going to the library too, but the videos are not very revealing to anyone. Ender finds it strange that despite all of the talk about Mazer Rackham, the hero of the Second Invasion, there is little actual video from his battle. All they show is Mazer's fleet being horribly outnumbered by the bugger ships, then one shot from Mazer's cruiser, one enemy ship being destroyed, and the end of the battle with soldiers entering the bugger ships to find them already dead. It is just one week after Dragon's first battle when Graff and Anderson ask him how his army is doing. Ender replies that all are now veterans, and although they are tired and not really studying for class, they have not yet reached their limits. Graff asks why Ender no longer plays the fantasy game, and Ender replies that he won--but Graff says, "You never win everything in that game." Finally, after Graff says that they want to make Ender as happy as possible, Ender retorts that they only want to make him the best soldier possible--and considering his rankings, they are succeeding. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary-chapters-11-and-12 |

The opening conversation is between Colonel Graff and a head of the I.F. military police, General Pace. Pace is worried about how Graff is dealing with the situation between Ender and some of his antagonists led by Bonzo Madrid. Ender cannot be hurt so badly that he cannot command. But Graff emphasizes that Ender can never believe that the teachers will help him out. At practice, Bean tries out a thin wire that allows him to change direction in midair in a surprising way. On their way back to the barracks after the long practice, Ender notices a large number of older boys, mainly from hostile armies, hanging out in the corridors. Petra warns him that Bonzo and others are planning on trying to kill him, but Ender is already aware of the danger. Dink also warns him never to be alone. Thus both of his old friends show their concern. Ender's toon leaders guard him that day, and at night, Ender dreams that Stilson and his buddies tie him up and beat him badly. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/summary-chapters-11-and-12 |

Ender's Game Themes
Everybody lies

Individual initiative versus central planning
Identity conflict
Individual needs versus the common good
Friends and enemies
Isolation yields individual strength
Content: Ender is not given many opportunities for friendship or trust so that he becomes fiercely independent and thus, it seems, a better commander. Individual initiative versus central planning
Ender is chosen to be the commander who leads the fleet to victory, thereby saving the world. The principle here is that a single mind can direct the war effort better than a number of individual commanders. The military leaders have decided to follow this principle as they have sought the one most promising child to become the supreme commander. But Ender does not really want to be such a savior, and he prefers to have squadron leaders who can think and act independently with just a few organizing principles to follow. In fact, Ender's decentralized approach proves superior to that of the buggers, which is centralized in that a queen commander makes all the decisions while the workers simply follow orders. Identity conflict
Ender Wiggin's personality is a combination of his brother's ruthlessness and his sister's compassion, which are constantly fighting each other for control. Likewise, Valentine and Peter share, to some degree, each other's characteristics, and all three siblings struggle to realize an integrated identity. In Ender's case, he chooses to win thoroughly against his enemies, but his compassion for them makes him hate himself for hurting them. Graff also struggles with his isolation of Ender for military purposes despite his real affection for Ender, wanting to be compassionate and practical at the same time. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/themes |

Isolation yields individual strength
Content: Among humans, the world alliance is undermined by antagonism between, basically, the Americans and the second Warsaw Pact. The Warsaw alliance is undermined by antagonism between Muslim and non-Muslim allies. In Ender's experience, nobody can be fully trusted, but everyone is basically a friend or an enemy. This does not mean that e is always right in his identifications. He believes that Graff and Mazer are his enemies, mainly because they tell him so, but in reality they both care about him very much. For a while, after Ender becomes a commander, he cannot be sure whether Dink and Petra are still his friends, but they definitely are. In contrast, Ender thinks throughout the novel that the buggers are his enemy, but by the end of the novel, they have become his friends. Isolation yields individual strength
Throughout the novel, Graff and Mazer isolate Ender from all of the other students at Battle School and Command School. Graff explains his reasoning multiple times; in his isolation, Ender will grow strong enough to beat the buggers. | https://www.gradesaver.com/enders-game/study-guide/themes |

The play-within-a-play is a pivotal scene in the play because it provides Hamlet with the evidence he needs to proceed in his mission to avenge his father's murder. Hamlet has been determined to fulfill his father's request, but his sense of morality and his careful nature haven't allowed him to act impulsively. He knows that the ghost may have been in a devil in disguise, so he felt obligated to find proof of Claudius's guilt. During the play-within-a-play Hamlet has a running commentary on the action and makes sure that both Claudius and Gertrude are tuned in to the action. Claudius is suspicious and uncomfortable while watching a story that so closely matches his own life's circumstances -- he even asks Hamlet about the title of the play. Once the poison is poured in the ear (a rather unusual detail) Claudius abruptly leaves the stage -- the trap had been set, and it sprung on Claudius. The actual title of the play is The Murder of Gonzago -- Hamlet changes the title to The Mousetrap because that is what the play really is -- a trap to catch a mouse. Cats like to play with their prey before they kill it -- kind of like Hamlet is behaving here. | https://www.gradesaver.com/hamlet/q-and-a/how-does-the-play-within-a-play-advance-the-plot-in-hamlet-81849 |

Published in 1928, Zora Neale Hurston 's " How It Feels to Be Colored Me " is a personal essay that illustrates the author's experience of living as a Black woman. Through metaphors, controversial statements, and anecdotes, Hurston implies that she views race as a social construct. While Hurston acknowledges that she sometimes faces discrimination, she also rejects the idea that slavery, abolished sixty years earlier, negatively affects her life. Hurston ultimately concludes that she considers the content of any human soul to be more or less interchangeable, no matter a person's skin pigmentation. Writing in a tone that conveys a mix of sincerity and sarcasm, Hurston argues that she "became colored" at thirteen, when she moved away from her hometown. Having grown up in the all-Black community of Eatonville, Florida, Hurston simply lived her life, oblivious to the world of white Americans who would see her as "colored" and project their prejudices onto her. By writing of herself as "becoming" colored, Hurston highlights how race is a social construct, not based on biologically distinct categories but on socially conditioned prejudice. She also refuses to see herself as a victim, refuting the idea that the social construct of race negatively affects her opportunities as an American. The essay reaches its climax when Hurston uses an analogy to encapsulate her view of race. Likening humans with different skin tones to different colored paper bags full of miscellany, Hurston suggests that the contents, if dumped out and jumbled together, could be randomly redistributed among the bags. | https://www.gradesaver.com/how-it-feels-to-be-colored-me |

Content: Having grown up in the all-Black community of Eatonville, Florida, Hurston simply lived her life, oblivious to the world of white Americans who would see her as "colored" and project their prejudices onto her. By writing of herself as "becoming" colored, Hurston highlights how race is a social construct, not based on biologically distinct categories but on socially conditioned prejudice. She also refuses to see herself as a victim, refuting the idea that the social construct of race negatively affects her opportunities as an American. The essay reaches its climax when Hurston uses an analogy to encapsulate her view of race. Likening humans with different skin tones to different colored paper bags full of miscellany, Hurston suggests that the contents, if dumped out and jumbled together, could be randomly redistributed among the bags. She says the result would be more or less the same as it was at the start, and suggests that maybe God stuffed the bags with the same random, universal contents. Exploring the themes of race as a social construct, performance, racialized public spaces, and rejection of victimhood, "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" has had a controversial reception. Among other arguments, critics point to Hurston's use of Black stereotypes in the scene where she likens jazz music to primitiveness and "being in the jungle." But other critics write of the passage as an example of Hurston's sarcastic irony, arguing that she is knowingly playing with racist stereotypes. Regardless of the controversy Hurston's work generates, the essay is widely anthologized and quoted. | https://www.gradesaver.com/how-it-feels-to-be-colored-me |

Race as a Social Construct
One of the most prevalent themes in " How It Feels to Be Colored Me " is that race is a social construct—i.e. a human-invented and perpetuated classification system not based in essential biological differences. For hundreds of years, white settlers in the United States tried to justify genocide of Indigenous peoples and the enslavement of African-descended people by arguing that biological differences meant non-white people were of a lower order of the human species, seeking to designate them as separate and inferior "races." The flawed and biased theory of biological racial difference has long been refuted by biologists, but we still live with the legacy of white supremacist hierarchical categorization. Hurston contributes to the idea of race being socially constructed by stating that she "became colored," only thinking of herself as "a little colored girl" when she was thirteen and lived among white people who projected their prejudices onto her. Rather than feeling her race as something essential encoded into her biology, Hurston notices her race in contexts where, for social reasons, her skin color sets her apart. Performance
Performance is another of the essay's major themes. The theme first appears when Hurston details how her childhood involved sitting on her gatepost to watch "the show" of white tourists passing through her all-Black town. While she sees herself as a spectator of the exotic white tourists, she also becomes the entertainer, singing and dancing for them. The white tourists give her dimes, believing she must be performing for money, but in truth she is just being herself, happy to express the joy that so often prompts locals to "deplore" her. | https://www.gradesaver.com/how-it-feels-to-be-colored-me/study-guide/themes |

The same dynamic of being watched and judged arises later when Hurston speaks of the additional scrutiny she knows she faces as a Black woman pursuing her ambition as an artist, writing that "it is thrilling to think—to know that for any act of mine, I shall get twice as much praise or twice as much blame. It is quite exciting to hold the center of the national stage, with the spectators not knowing whether to laugh or to weep." Ultimately, Hurston views the pressures of performance as empowering, relishing the added attention. Racialized Public Spaces

From early in the essay, Hurston shares anecdotes set in racialized public spaces. She begins with the road that goes through her all-Black Eatonville community. In a setting where racial separation is stark, the Black residents sit on their porches or hide behind curtains while white Northern tourists drive past in cars. Hurston finds herself in another racialized public space when she is sent to boarding school in Jacksonville, and, once living among white people, begins to think of herself as "colored." Barnard College is another racialized public space: One of only a few Black people on the mostly white campus, Hurston feels like "a dark rock surged upon" in a white-water river. The New World Cabaret inverts the racial dynamic, but Hurston feels her race nonetheless when her white friend doesn't respond to the jazz music with the same emotional depth she does. | https://www.gradesaver.com/how-it-feels-to-be-colored-me/study-guide/themes |

Ultimately, Hurston shows how certain physical spaces contribute to ideas of racial difference, further supporting her belief that racial difference arises out of social contexts and not biology. Rejection of Victimhood
Even though Hurston acknowledges that she sometimes experiences discrimination for her race and that her grandparents were slaves, Hurston rejects the expectation that she should see herself as a victim of racism. Stating that she is "not tragically colored," Hurston seeks to set herself apart from "the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all but about it." Hurston prefers to identify with "the strong" who she sees as excelling in life. Adopting a confidence and optimism about her abilities to make her way in the world, Hurston encapsulates her rejection of victimhood and embrace of ambition in the statement: " | https://www.gradesaver.com/how-it-feels-to-be-colored-me/study-guide/themes |

Man vs Machine
The Matrix is a movie based on how machines have taken over and the resistance is fighting them. What is interesting is how the movie portrays humans and their machine-like tendencies. Not only do we see machine like actions in the humans, but there is also an abundance of human like qualities in the machines. In several scenes, we see how the actors are consistent in their actions in a nearly robot like manner. Free will dilemma
In the movie, there is a discussion on whether humans actually want free will. This film shows this in how people are given a choice to pick the red or blue pill - each symbolizing free will or living a life that is comfortable but fake. They have the choice of a comfortable world or a free one that is real with all of its unpleasantries. The mind and the senses
One final significant theme involves the issues of trusting your senses and objective truths. | https://www.gradesaver.com/the-matrix/study-guide/themes |

Content: Memory
For Wordsworth, the power of the human mind is extremely important. In several of his poems he begins in a negative or depressed mood, and then slowly becomes more positive. The most important use of memory, however, is to maintain connections. For instance, in poems like "Line Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" and "I wandered lonely as a cloud" Wordsworth is in nature (his favorite place to be) and he is happy, but he becomes even happier when he realizes that he never actually has to leave his memories behind. Once he has returned to the daily gloom of the city, he will be able to remember the time he spent among nature and make himself happy again: " And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils." As Wordsworth begins to consider his own mortality memory is again a huge comfort, because he realizes that even after he has died he will be able to live on in the memory of his family and friends, just as those who have passed on before him are in his memory. Wordsworth is especially heartened to know that his sister Dorothy, with whom he spent countless hours, will remember him fondly, carrying him with her wherever she goes. Mortality
Wordsworth's fascination with death frequently shows up in his poetry. The Lucy Poems, for instance, are a series of poems about a young girl who may or may not have been a figment of Wordsworth's imagination, and who ultimately dies. | https://www.gradesaver.com/wordsworths-poetical-works/study-guide/themes |

Wordsworth's fascination with death frequently shows up in his poetry. The Lucy Poems, for instance, are a series of poems about a young girl who may or may not have been a figment of Wordsworth's imagination, and who ultimately dies. Wordsworth looks at the event from several angles. In "She dwelt among the untrodden ways" he focuses on the unexpectedness of her death, and the unpredictability of life and death in general. In "Three years she grew" Wordsworth creates a fanciful rationale for her death: Nature became entranced by her and promised to give her an incredible life, but once all of her promises were fulfilled Lucy had to die. In "We are Seven" Wordsworth looks at a young girl who had six siblings but now lives at home with only her mother, because two of her siblings have died and the others have moved away. | https://www.gradesaver.com/wordsworths-poetical-works/study-guide/themes |

The little girl seems not to understand death throughout the poem, but in the end the reader learns that she may have a clearer understanding than the speaker. In "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" Wordsworth is comforted by the thought that he will live on after his death, because his sister Dorothy will remember him lovingly. Humanity
One of Wordsworth's greatest worries is the descent of humanity. As man moves further and further away from humanity he seems to be losing more and more of his soul. Often when Wordsworth is in nature he is saddened because he is forced to think about the people trapped in cities, unable or unwilling to commune with nature. | https://www.gradesaver.com/wordsworths-poetical-works/study-guide/themes |

One of Wordsworth's greatest worries is the descent of humanity. As man moves further and further away from humanity he seems to be losing more and more of his soul. Often when Wordsworth is in nature he is saddened because he is forced to think about the people trapped in cities, unable or unwilling to commune with nature. In "London, 1802," for instance, Wordsworth makes a plea to the poet John Milton to return and teach humanity how to regain the morality and virtue it once had. Similarly, in "The world is too much with us" Wordsworth worries that the world is too full of people who have lost their connection to divinity, and more importantly, to nature: " Getting and spending we lay waste our powers, / Little we see in Nature that is ours." Transcendence and Connectivity
The idea of transcendence did not gain full speed until the Romantic Movement moved to America, but Wordsworth was certainly a fan of the idea long before then. " Transcendence" simply means "being without boundaries." | https://www.gradesaver.com/wordsworths-poetical-works/study-guide/themes |

Content: Why are Critical Thinking Skills Important for Students? Our lives are full of events that involve non-stop problem solving and decision making. We are inundated with information from various media outlets and social media platforms. What is the best car to buy? Who should I vote for? People need to know how to sift through all this information and decide what are reliable and credible sources of information to use in their daily lives. And we want to be able to do this in a thoughtful and logical manner. Critical thinking enables us to analyze, interpret, reflect, evaluate, infer, and explain information to be able to solve problems and make decisions. That is why critical thinking is an essential component of deeper learning. Deeper learning can be described as the capacity for learning how to learn (Martinez & McGrath, 2014). | https://www.graduateprogram.org/2019/09/how-to-improve-students-critical-thinking-skills/ |

Information like your name, company, summary, and experience can be viewed by other LinkedIn users and the general public. In fact, LinkedIn recently updated their platform to make all status updates public, meaning that they’re picked up by search engines like Google. This can be helpful from a “research” perspective, but it also means you should be careful what you post. In general, this means that you should be careful about what you update, when you update, and how you update on LinkedIn. LinkedIn has a default setting that notifies your LinkedIn connections (including coworkers and your boss) if you update your profile.

Content: The concern over the collection and usage of personal data on shopping websites are restraining market growth. While the use of technology is beneficial for the growth of retail e-commerce, the misuse of the same can result in a financial and personal loss for the consumer. Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to declining market share for footwear, apparel and accessories, electronic goods, craft supplies, and other product segments owing to lockdown and change in consumer buying behavior across the globe. The temporary shutdown of production and distribution centers is expected to affect market growth. However, the grocery segment has observed an upsurge in demand with the heavy purchase of essential products by the consumers during the pandemic period. Product Insights
The apparel and accessories segment led the market and accounted for more than 30.3% revenue share in 2019. The demand for apparel and accessories gained maximum traction over the e-commerce platform due to the availability of designer and latest fashion clothes at factory prices. E-commerce retailers increased their customer base by targeting the price-sensitive consumer along with easy return policy for building the trust and cash on delivery facility. Moreover, C2C shopping is further gaining traction with the social media wherein the Facebook “Buy” button, and Instagram checkout allow purchase from other individuals. Also, platforms such as Shopify link their online stores with social media to reach large number of customers. | https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/retail-e-commerce-market |

Start out with a nice roast dinner, then with the left overs, make some delicious shredded beef enchiladas and then if there’s any roast left, making burritos or tacos, even taquitos would be great as well. This roast is so simple to throw together. And, it’s so tender and full of flavor. Basically, add chopped onions to the bottom of the crock pot. Next, add the roast, season with all the fixings, add Rotel®, beef broth, throw in some potatoes, cover and cook on high for 8 hours or low 10-12 hours and leave all the fuss and muss for the crock pot! I bought a big roast specifically for a few different meals. My shredded beef enchiladas will be posted on the blog soon using the leftovers from this recipe. | https://www.greatgrubdelicioustreats.com/crock-pot-boneless-beef-round-tip-roast/ |

Get guidance from an expert on how an individualized grading system may benefit your child. by: GreatSchools Staff | January 13, 2010
Print article
Grades are important, and it can be very upsetting when your child consistently brings home low grades. Especially when your child has a learning disability, you may be concerned about the impact that low grades have on her motivation and self-esteem. Or you may feel that low grades don’t reflect the huge amount of effort she puts into her school work. Although there’s no magic formula for “fair” grades, there are guidelines for grading practices for learners with Individualized Education Programs (IEP) that can help you advocate for your child. When parents, teachers, or schools raise issues of grading fairness and equity, it is often the result of confusion regarding the purposes for grades, and whether a “one-size-fits-all “grading system can work for learners with special needs, including those with learning disabilities. For a grading system to be fair and equitable, it must have as its philosophical basis a belief that fairness is defined as maintaining equity and meeting individual needs – not necessarily as “equality,” which is treating all students exactly the same. According to one expert: 1
A fair grading system
provides an opportunity for high grades to be earned
provides meaningful grades that reflect a student’s experience in the classroom
includes flexibility as needed to meet individual needs of students
An equitable grading system
maintains high student accountability even when a grading system is individualized
accurately matches grades to performance, even when accommodations are implemented
This article will discuss several aspects of grading that parents should be aware of as they advocate for their children with learning disabilities, especially when low or failing grades are the concern. | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/grading-students-with-ieps/ |

The “Non-evolution” of Grading Practices
While classroom instruction and assessment have undergone decades of change, grading has remained largely the same. And, to date, no one has produced the type of research and discussion that could lead to a nationwide consensus on what is best practice in grading. Nevertheless, new models or strategies for grading have been proposed. The most current of these focus on grading systems that measure performance on assignments that correspond to a state’s grade-level learning standards. | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/grading-students-with-ieps/ |

Is teaching to the test bad? It all depends on the test and the teacher. If the test measures the skills students are expected to be learning and teachers prepare students by teaching those skills, then teaching to the test is a good thing. But if the test is not directly related to what is being taught or teachers depend on repeated drills with old test questions to prepare students, it’s a different story. Teaching to the test can waste valuable learning time. No Child Left Behind puts testing on the front burner
The federal No Child Left Behind law (NCLB), which went into effect in 2002, has caused schools to “be accountable,” which translates into focusing a lot of attention on state standardized testing and results. It requires all schools to test students in grades 2-12 in reading, math and science. Each state chooses its own test and standards of proficiency. Schools that don’t show that students are making “adequate yearly progress” toward achieving proficiency are subject to federal sanctions, including loss of federal funds, providing free tutoring, allowing students to transfer to another school, and if all else fails, a complete restructuring of the school.

Critics of the law say that the emphasis on testing in reading and math means other subjects, such as social studies and the arts, are getting less attention. | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

Critics of the law say that the emphasis on testing in reading and math means other subjects, such as social studies and the arts, are getting less attention. Some schools have even done away with or cut back on recess time because of the pressure to spend more school time preparing students to pass state tests. On the positive side, students across the country (particularly in the lower grades) have made progress in basic skills in reading and math, but studies show that the improvements don’t necessarily hold up in middle school and beyond, when the tests get more complex and critical thinking skills are necessary. Advertisement
It’s all about alignment
In the wake of NCLB, there is much talk about aligning instruction, curriculum, standards and assessment. This basically means that teachers and students have a clear idea of what they are expected to learn. In the best of all possible worlds, the state provides textbooks and curriculum that match the standards, and the tests measure achievement of the standards. | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

In the wake of NCLB, there is much talk about aligning instruction, curriculum, standards and assessment. This basically means that teachers and students have a clear idea of what they are expected to learn. In the best of all possible worlds, the state provides textbooks and curriculum that match the standards, and the tests measure achievement of the standards. Most state Departments of Education are working to devise systems that do just that, but many are not there yet. A study by the American Federation of Teachers found that 11 out of 50 states completely met the criteria for having both strong content standards and documenting that the tests align to the standards, specifically in grades 3 through 12 and subjects (reading and math) required by NCLB. Some test-taking skills are important to learn
When students spend time preparing for tests, they learn valuable skills. Time management, understanding reading passages, following directions, knowing when certain answers can be eliminated — these are all important test-taking skills that students need to know as they progress through school and their career paths. Matthew Matera, a middle school teacher at a charter school in the Boston area, says that he “teaches to the test,” by teaching test-taking strategies. | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

But he says that doesn’t interfere with teaching his core curriculum. He integrates test strategies into his lessons. “It’s a part of the instructional program, not a separate thing,” he says. “ Standardized tests ask students to demonstrate reading passage comprehension, to derive the meaning of words from context, to pull out facts where needed and to draw connections. These are all skills of a good reader and they are required in professional life, too.” | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

Content: Tests can be used as diagnostic tools
Tests can be used successfully for diagnosing specific areas where kids need help and then providing them with extra help in those subjects. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District in North Carolina has instituted a quarterly assessment program. Their chief accountability officer, Jonathan Raymond, says: “ We’re utilizing the data in a diagnostic way so that we can constantly intervene and so teachers can see how students are learning. Are we really teaching and are students really learning? That should be our focus, and the test is just one way to determine that. We’re looking at scores not as a witch hunt but as a treasure hunt. We want to find the success stories, highlight those and share with others in our district what’s working.” Focus on the tests brings attention to state standards
Good test preparation focuses on making sure that students are meeting state standards, rather than focusing on test-prep activities, says Jeanie Fritzsche, a current district-level curriculum coordinator, and former teacher and mentor in Irvine, California, schools. She notes: “ | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

She notes: “ We encourage our teachers to focus on grade-level content standards rather than the test.’ We specifically discourage ‘test-preparation’ activities and try to foster the understanding that our students will do well as long as they are proficient in their grade-level standards. “My personal experience has been that in spite of the stress surrounding the state-mandated testing, without the test many teachers would be less conscientious about addressing grade-level standards. If we consider the standards to be a means to ensure instructional equity for all students then I think it is important that all students — regardless of the district or school they attend, or who their teacher is — have access to instruction in those standards. If it is necessary to mandate assessment in order to be sure that this happens, we may have to live with that until and unless we, as a profession, can devise a better way to be sure that all students are guaranteed a high-quality educational experience.” | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

Problems arise when the state test is not aligned with the standards.

Howard Everson, formerly with the College Board and currently professor of psychometrics at Fordham University, sees problems with these non-aligned state tests: “ Many of the large-scale assessments (state tests) are too far removed from curriculum and instruction. They don’t provide enough information back to the classroom.

Content: In math and science deep understanding is sacrificed for coverage.” But middle school teacher Matera has his own view on teaching, testing and critical thinking: “ I am pushing my students all the time to do critical thinking. Critical thinking requires that you are able to use certain strategies on tests. In order to do reading comprehension, you need to do critical thinking. It’s part of a good instructional program and a good instructional program will prepare students to do well on tests.” Is there too much emphasis on the tests? An Education Week survey in 2000 showed that 66% of teachers thought that state tests were forcing them to concentrate too much on what was tested, which meant other important subject matter was not covered. Subjects like social studies and the arts, which are not mandated for testing under NCLB, get less attention. Many testing experts prefer performance-based assessments — those that req | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/teaching-to-the-test/ |

15 rights parents have in public schools
Here are 15 of your unalienable rights in the U.S. public school system.
The right to a free education
An immigrant child’s right to a free education
The right not to be discriminated against
Right to learn English and other language rights
Right to be safe in school
Right to freedom of speech and religion
Right to information and participation
Right to learn about evolution, not creationism or intelligent design
Right to opt your children out from sexual health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education
Right to opt your children out of standardized testing
Right to opt your children out of the classroom entirely
Right to privacy
Rights of children with special needs and disabilities for special instruction
The right to get rid of bad teachers
Rights for student athletes to participate
Content: However, freedom of speech and religion are protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. If it isn’t distracting to other students, your children have the right to pray when they are at school, the right to take religious books to school, the right to wear clothes signifying their religious beliefs (including a hijab, yarmulke, bindi, and crucifix), the right to talk about their faith at school, the right to organize a religious club, the right to refer to their religious beliefs in student assignments, and the right to miss school in observance of religious holidays. Conversely, it is illegal for a public school to proselytize or impose religious beliefs on your child or promote one religion as superior to another, or religion in general as superior to secular beliefs. Discussion of world religions must be “neutral”. School prayer led by teachers or coaches is illegal. There can be no display of religious doctrines like the ten commandments, and secular children don’t have to say “under God” when the class recites the Pledge of Allegiance. If a school promotes or demeans a religion, parents can complain to the school district, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, and the ACLU. “ A Minute of Silence” is often encouraged, although some states disregard the First Amendment entirely and go ahead and say prayers in class. A state-by-state list is available here. Can a parent ask for the phrase “In God We Trust” to be removed from a school classroom? | https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/the-greatschools-bill-of-education-rights-for-public-school-parents/ |

Content: The Positive and Negative Effects of Age Stereotypes
Old age is often characterized as a time of loneliness, frailty, and decline. Conversely, it has also been described as a time of freedom, happiness, and affluence. Every person's experiences are unique. But such contemporary stereotypes about aging can have a big impact on the decisions people make and the attitudes they adopt. They can even affect people's physical and cognitive health. Older adults who are constantly exposed to negative aging stereotypes can internalize the messages and unconsciously make them come true. According to an article in the Journal of Geriatrics, one study found that seniors who received subtle messages with words like "senile" and "incompetent" before taking memory tests performed worse than the seniors who were primed with more positive words. In another study, receiving negative subliminal age-related messages caused older adults' cardiovascular stress levels to rise both before and after mentally challenging activities like math quizzes. Research has even shown that seniors who hold negative self-stereotypes regarding age are less likely to agree to medical treatment that would prolong their life. On the other hand, negative age stereotypes can actually motivate people to focus on actively preventing those stereotypes from coming true. | https://www.greatseniorliving.com/articles/senior-citizen-age |

According to a study in Leisure Sciences, older athletes often say they want to stay physically active to avoid getting "old" (which they stereotypically define as frail or ill). In cases like that, the stereotype has a beneficial effect on older adults. Interestingly, positive age stereotypes do not always have the intended effect. A 2012 study in The Journals of Gerontology of middle-aged (ages 36 to 60) and older adults (ages 61 and up) found that being exposed to positive age stereotypes actually made people feel older. Researchers speculated that may be because the study participants thought of themselves as younger than their chronological age, and being confronted with positive descriptions of aging made them perceive their own age more accurately. | https://www.greatseniorliving.com/articles/senior-citizen-age |

In the business world, online master’s degrees are becoming increasingly popular, but reputation and accreditation still play crucial roles in determining whether employers will accept an online degree. Accredited programs will often be more rigorous, but you can expect a standardized curriculum and more experienced faculty. Avoid non-accredited programs if you want to work in business. With so many competitive accredited options on the market, you’ll fare better with a program that’s recognized for its academic excellence. Whether you’re currently working or you’ve recently earned a bachelor’s degree, you may benefit from exploring an MBA program that doesn’t require as great of a time commitment as a traditional campus-based degree. Many top-tier schools offer online master’s programs, and employers have begun accepting these diplomas as proof of a job candidate’s work ethic, dedication and business acumen. When researching an online MBA program, remember to consider not only how long it will take to earn the degree but how the program can benefit your long-term career.

Content: Always saying “Yes” without question and without prioritizing the requests can lead to overworking your team, forcing poor decision-making further down the line. Inexperience in leading people on a personal level can also lead to bad decisions. A younger manager that manages more mature workers can run into conflict if they do not show the required levels of self-confidence to stick to their decisions and follow them through. If the young manager is not committed to their decisions, they cannot expect their older team members to follow through either. 2. Personal Life Pressures
Although it is unprofessional to let your personal life interfere with your professional life, it happens all too often. Consider a manager that is going through a painful split with their partner, discovers that a team member has started dating another co-worker. The manager stages an intervention with the two employees and stresses that workplace romances are not acceptable in the company. While workplace romances are frowned upon, it is neither illegal nor legislated against in any ethical code of conduct that I have read.

Greece is the country from which the Olympic games originate, so you might suspect that sports are still a rather important part of life in Greece. Let's have a look at what was included in the ancient Olympic games, and which sports the modern Greek play, and which ones they are particularly good at. Ancient Olympic games
The Olympic games are called Olympic because the were originally held in Olympia, a town on the Peloponnese peninsula. You can still visit the ruins of ancient Olympia if you are interested in visiting the place where it all started. The ancient Olympic games were naturally a little different to the modern games, and included the following sports: - Pentathlon: included running, jumping, and discus throwing
- Wrestling
- Boxing
- Pankration (some sort of martial art)
- Horse races
- Chariot races
- Javelin
Only Greek people were allowed to take part in the games. In the beginning, it was only a one day event. Later on it turned into a three day, and then a five day event. Modern Olympic games
When the Olympic games turned into a more international affair, the games took place in a different country every four years, and winter Olympics were added. | https://www.greece101.com/page/greek-sport |

Why Are the Bees Disappearing? Over the years, many scientists have indicated that the number of bees is decreasing. All the latest studies from the last three years left us wondering why are the bees disappearing. Unfortunately, this is one of the consequences of our actions, showing humans that every bad decision regarding the environment will at some point turn against us. In what follows, we will provide a few factors that contribute to the extinction of bees. Why Are the Bees Disappearing? Pesticides
Every year, we use huge amounts of pesticides, spraying it on our food, especially in North America. Pesticides were not only related to lots of dangerous human diseases, but they are also responsible for a huge die off in the global population of bees from the past few years. A study from Harvard University which was published in 2014 in the Bulletin of Insectology shows that neonicotinoids reached to kill bees at a very high rate. | https://www.greenandgrowing.org/why-are-the-bees-disappearing/ |

Content: Furthermore, scientists indicate that these insecticides represent the direct cause of the colony collapse disorder (CCD). This study’s results reinforce the idea that the sublethal exposure to neonicotinoids represents the first reason why CCD occurred. When developing this study, specialists have looked at 18 different bee colonies from three different apiaries located in Massachusetts. Their analysis took them a year to develop. Scientists treated four colonies at every apiary with some doses of neonicotinoid insecticides while they left untreated six beehives. The strong effect of this pesticide wiped out 6 of the 12 hives which received considerable neonicotinoid doses. These insecticides remain for a long time in planter exhaust material that is produced while crops are planted. Dennis vanEngelsdorp is an assistant professor of entomology at the University of Maryland. He indicates that over the last three decades bees experienced serious challenges. VanEngelsdorp is also the project director for the Bee Informed Partnership. | https://www.greenandgrowing.org/why-are-the-bees-disappearing/ |

VanEngelsdorp is also the project director for the Bee Informed Partnership. A recent survey indicates that almost 5,000 beekeepers in the US lost a third of the bees they had between April 2016 and March 2017. Poor nutrition
Another factor that triggers massive die off in the global population of bees is poor nutrition. Honey bees usually collect nectar and pollen for the entire colony. These transform into honey and bees feed their larvae with it. However, when, they do not find any natural sources to collect nectar and pollen, it becomes harder to find the food they need. | https://www.greenandgrowing.org/why-are-the-bees-disappearing/ |

Content: Scientists indicate that 20 years ago, 20 mites found among a hundred bees represented a concern. But now, 3 mites among 100 bees bear the same level of threat. Mites represent one of the most crucial problems regarding the global bee population. VanEngelsdorp argues that before the varroa mite spread all over the globe, beekeepers thought that it’s a tragedy when they lose 10% of their bees over the winter. Back in the 1970s, losing 10% of your bees was impossible, being considered a very high rate of loss. After varroa mites have spread, the rate of loss increased to at least 15%. Nevertheless, specialists noticed lower levels of mites in the fall of 2016. This may be due to an essential oil used in mite control products. This ingredient usually breaks down when exposed to hot temperatures. During the milder winter, it has stayed put. | https://www.greenandgrowing.org/why-are-the-bees-disappearing/ |

Content: Building scientists call this phenomenon “thermal bridging” because the studs or rafters bridge the space between inside and outside the thermal envelope. If you look for it, thermal bridging can sometimes be seen from either inside or outside. Inside, it can cause a problem called ghosting, or cold stripes behind the drywall during winter. These cold stripes can encourage condensation that leads to the accumulation of dust particles on the drywall; eventually, visible vertical stripes may form. Outside, you can see the effect of thermal bridging in snow-melt patterns on roofs and drying patterns on walls. A continuous layer of rigid foam installed on the inside or outside of a wall or roof drastically reduces thermal bridging through the framing. R-VALUE MEASURES HOW WELL INSULATION WORKS
Heat flows from hot to cold; it can’t be stopped, but it can be slowed
If we measure the rate at which heat flows through a building material or building assembly—for example, a wall or a roof—we can calculate a number (the R-value) to indicate its insulating ability. The higher a material’s R-value, the better the material is at resisting heat flow through conduction, convection, and radiation (outlined above). | https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/green-basics/insulation-overview-2 |

Content: The term electronic waste refers to any electronic device that is no longer wanted or has become obsolete. Electronics classified as e-waste can either be in perfect working condition or be unusable. When e-waste is not recycled properly, this leads to the contamination of air, soil and water, which can then eventually affect humans and wildlife. 80% of the world’s e-waste is left in this state, while only a mere 20% of it is recycled annually ( source ). Think about how many people ditch their old mobile phones for the newer model or how frequently they discard an old TV for a sleeker, more powerful one. Owing to rapidly changing technology, the rise of disposable income, and availability of electronic products, it’s no surprise e-waste has become a major concern. Do Something points out that between 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed every year. Unfortunately, only about 12.5% of it is recycled. Even more unfortunate is the fact that most of these consumer electronics can be reused or are in perfect working condition. Most devices such as cell phones, laptops, memory sticks, TVs, tablets and batteries end up in landfills and contribute to air and water pollution. | https://www.greenchildmagazine.com/reduce-ewaste/ |

Minimizing electronic waste is one of the best ways to keep our environment safe. The good news is that it’s fairly easy to reduce your e-waste. Donate or Sell Working Electronics
One simple way to efficiently manage e-waste is to simply sell your working electronics. You may find a buyer via eBay or Craigslist. Many of these buyers will use them, resell them, or use / sell the parts. | https://www.greenchildmagazine.com/reduce-ewaste/ |

Content: Improve Your Health
Whenever we look at the news, there seems to be some story about how studies are finding more and more dangerous chemicals in various products. Suddenly, we are finding out that several major brands of lipstick contain dangerous levels of lead, cancer can come from cleaning products, and air pollution causes asthma. For many years, we have also known about the dangers of pesticides on humans, especially children. Many chemical pesticides used to kill insects on fruits and vegetables can go past the outer skin and lodge onto the inside of the fruits. So, even if you wash the outside, you leave the inside and consume those fruits and vegetables with pesticides in it that end up in your body. So why to go green? One of the main advantages of going green is to improve and take care of our health and we all do know that health is by far the most important thing in this world… (after love haha). If we can’t go green for our own health, what can we do it for? 9. Improve your Skin
In relation to skin products, going green means using more natural products and these are definitely much healthier for your skin. | https://www.greendivamom.com/reasons-to-go-green/ |

In relation to skin products, going green means using more natural products and these are definitely much healthier for your skin. Your skin is the largest organ of the human body. It protects everything within. More than that, it is a living tissue system that can absorb applied products. That is why when we use products heavy with harmful chemicals, they absorb into our skin, reach our bloodstream and can cause damage bit by bit that can lead to dermatitis, allergies and skin irritations. As a result, choosing natural skincare or green make-up is a no brainer, because you avoid petroleum, and all those synthetic ingredients that prevent your skin from working properly, from regenerating, or healing properly. | https://www.greendivamom.com/reasons-to-go-green/ |

6. What are the effects of arsenic on the environment? Water and land-living plants and animals show a wide range of sensitivities to different chemical forms of arsenic. Their sensitivity is modified both by biological factors and by their surrounding physical and chemical environment. In general, inorganic forms of arsenic are more toxic to the environment than organic forms and, among inorganic forms, arsenite is more toxic than arsenate. This is probably because the way in which the various forms are taken up into the body differs and once taken up, they act in different ways in the body. The reason why arsenite is toxic is thought to be because it binds to particular chemical groups - sulfhydryl groups - found on proteins. Arsenate, on the other hand, affects the key energy producing process that take place in all cells. Arsenic compounds cause short-term and long-term effects in individual plants and animals and in populations and communities of organisms. | https://www.greenfacts.org/en/arsenic/l-2/arsenic-6.htm |

These effects are evident, for example, in aquatic species at concentrations ranging from a few micrograms to milligrams per litre. The nature of the effects depends on the species and time of exposure. The effects include death, inhibition of growth, photosynthesis and reproduction, and behavioral effects. Environments contaminated with arsenic contain only a few species and fewer numbers within species. If levels of arsenate are high enough, only resistant organisms, such as certain microbes, may be present. | https://www.greenfacts.org/en/arsenic/l-2/arsenic-6.htm |

‘Intersectional Environmentalist’ Platform Launches to Dismantle Racism in the Climate Movement
By Sophie Hirsh
Aug. 18 2020, Updated 2:25 p.m. ET
In an Instagram post last month, Leah Thomas, a climate activist better known online as Green Girl Leah, popularized the phrase “intersectional environmentalism,” a form of climate justice that “advocates for both the protection of people and the planet.” Now, just a few weeks later, what simply started as a social media post about an inclusive, anti-racist branch of environmentalism is already blossoming into a new fixture of the current environmental activism zeitgeist. To learn more about Thomas, why environmentalism should be an intersectional movement, and how she created the Intersectional Environmentalist platform — in record time — we caught up with Thomas in a video call this week. Article continues below advertisement
What is intersectional environmentalism? Source: Courtesy of Leah Thomas
“Intersectional environmentalism [is] the type of environmentalism where both people and the planet are considered, so both social and environmental justice are considered, and [they're] talked about in the same conversation. Because in my opinion those things are so interconnected,” Thomas explains to Green Matters in a video chat Monday afternoon, June 15. “ When you look at the data with environmental racism, and who unfortunately feels the impacts the harshest right now of environmental injustices, it’s typically low-income and Black and Brown communities. So I just think that it’s something that needs to be talked about in the environmental movement.” | https://www.greenmatters.com/p/intersectional-environmentalist-leah-thomas |

Environmentalism is an intersectional social justice issue. Those who are unclear about why environmentalism is an intersectional justice issue are likely people who have the privilege to not have to see the connections — if that’s the boat you are in, the most important thing you can do right now is learn. “As a Black environmentalist, I see the intersections because I can’t ignore them, because it’s just my life, and I don’t have the privilege to be able to say these are separate. Because I’ve seen the data on environmental racism,” Thomas explains. “ I think it’s a societal issue of humans feeling very disconnected from nature and not being able to see why it is such a huge environmental issue. Because we are humans, we are animals, and we are part of this global ecosystem.” For more resources on intersectionality in the climate movement, you can of course check out the Intersectional Environmentalist website. But Thomas also wanted to shout out a few of her favorite resources — on social media, she recommends following Pattie Gonia, Queer Brown Vegan, and Mikaela Loach. She’s also a big fan of Theresa Baker, creator of the Outdoor Industry CEO Diversity Pledge, and Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry, a book of poems about the Black community’s relationship with nature edited by Camille T. Dungy . | https://www.greenmatters.com/p/intersectional-environmentalist-leah-thomas |

Content: Human volunteers can donate their tissues — healthy or otherwise — and scientists can use those tissues to better understand both the disease and biology. Human tissues can be donated by someone alive — such as a person who’s had surgery, a biopsy, or transplant — or post-mortem. Both act as more humane alternatives to animal testing. Article continues below advertisement
Scientists can also learn a lot through computer models that are programmed to replicate responses of the human body. With mappings of major organs like the heart and lungs, scientists can conduct “virtual experiments based on existing information and mathematical data,” according to Cruelty Free International. Lastly, of course, human volunteers are another option that keep animal testing off the table.
