Even though I was born in September of 2001 in Vietnam, I started Kindergarten/1st grade-ish in Russia some time in 2006 and finished 12th grade in May 2018 in the US (my school isn't ranked but I took a plethora of AP+post-AP courses).

With the cutoff date, I would have started kindergarten sometime between 2006-2007 and finished 12th grade sometime between May 2019-May 2020 (depends on the jurisdiction).

I have heard many Americans claim it is beneficial to get a child to start school late (like an August or July born would start Kindergarten at 6 instead of 5) but I am not sure how it pans out in Asian culture, with their obsession in grades and stuff.

Is this practice stigmatised amongst East/Southeast Asians and Asian Americans? I am curious given the fact starting Kindergarten late meant people your age are already in the first grade and even if your child receives straight A's in all honors class during 9th grade at 15, it is equivalent to someone your age receiving straight A/A- in regular 10th grade classes as supposed to honours.

Ironically, at Matignon High School (I didn't attend that high school but knew some people that did), the oldest tend to be Asian international students. I met some Chinese students in the class of 2018 who were born in 1998.

Hi, 19F in California and for personal reasons I wasn't able to complete high school but still would like to go to college someday. Getting a GED seems like it won't be a challenge for me (I didn't leave school with bad grades and continued taking online high school courses) but I've seen some local community colleges offering an "Adult high school diploma". It says it would give a transcript but would require taking many courses before I'd get a diploma. Is an adult diploma really an option? I don't see anyone talking about them outside of the colleges that offer it.

Hey everyone, I'm an international student and I'm considering applying to one of these universities in USA . I'd love to hear your opinions or experiences with them

1. Mcnese state university
2. Coppin state university
3. South Dakota state university
4. Minot state university
5. Langston university
6. Nicholas state university

Is this university any good with the lecture they offer?

I wanna excel in life but my sat scores were HORRIBLE. I feel like giving up but i just need to feel like im not alone.

Hello, I need some suggestions for some classroom activities for homeroom (Class is for 4th to 6th grade). These include special ed students btw. We already played a few versions of this game called Escape Team. That game works when you print a PDF from the site and then you download this app. Kids are very competitive against groups so they’re kinda motivated to work together 🤣

Just wondering if there are other games like this where kids solve for a big problem or mystery. It’s a plus if the physical game is integrated with an app. They love those stuff. Thanks!

I'm working on a project in the educational technology space, and I am looking to get insights from the community to better understand the market, identify key competitors, and, most importantly, learn directly from the people who’d be using platforms —students, parents, and teachers. If you're passionate about EdTech or just curious, I would love to hear your thoughts! I am not sure if I am allowed to send you a link so won't do so.

Here's what I am exploring:

• Detailed Market Analysis: I am examining trends in educational technology, including growth areas and potential challenges. If you're someone who uses (or wants to use) EdTech tools, what changes or innovations are you hoping to see?
• Competitor Overview: I am mapping out the key players in EdTech and analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and positioning. Are there certain platforms you love or dislike? What features or aspects make or break them for you?
• User Insights: This is where we need your help the most! We’re gathering feedback from students, parents, and teachers to understand your needs, preferences, and pain points with current learning tools. Your input will directly influence how we develop our platform! We’ll be conducting surveys, focus groups, and even one-on-one interviews to make sure we get it right.

If you’re interested in contributing or simply want to stay in the loop, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s shape the future of learning together! 🌍💡

Education is about using all we have available to teach the little ones about future life challenges which they can tackle easily. I have used some Usbourne books together with Lego pieces to teach my son about nature, geography and a few basic human anthropology. He can then integrate the knowledge into further reasoning by himself. I am currently building different exercises from different subjects we studied separately to help him understand better future school challenges he will have. And it’s amazing how his mind sees now further steps in building a better way for the future.

from my observations, I know the education is a very big problems in many countries.

firstly, it is in regard to the teachers. They actually don't have the right methods to effectively teach their students. take the English teachers in my countries for example, most of them can't speak and listen English. so how can they impart the real education to the students. For other subjects, they can't give the students right guidance.

to name a few, they only care how long their students learn each day. although they ask their students to copy down the questions they can't solve the first time, they don't or can't teach them how they should deal with them. what extent should they go. so most of the students in my country study for more than 14 hours a day, yet they still can't achieve good results.

i wrote too much, i'll just leave it at that.

Education is a net benefit to the world and a more educated population is much better overall. In such a case should education not only be fee but also be incentivised ?

Hey r/education

I made a simple web app for my wife to help manage her classes and quickly group students, and thought I’d share it here. The Student Grouping App lets you:

• Add/delete classes and students
• Mark students present or absent
• Automatically create balanced groups by number of groups or students per group

It’s free to use, available here, and saves everything in your browser. Hoping it might be helpful for anyone looking for a quick way to manage and group students!

Any feedback or ideas are welcome. Thanks!

Im not going to get into it to deep , but crux of the story is brother was in sped and wanted to be taken out because sped kids are excluded from things, mother agrees to keep him in because they told my mom that he would be included. Teacher, who he really really liked, plays a prank on him that included all the sped kids except him. Brother blames mom for what happened. Mom claims she told the principal off when he called and told het what the teacher did. Following day principal and teacher apologized to mom and brother. Brother is still mad because the principal should have fired the teacher. He blames my mom for not fighting hard enough. Mom said the school admitted fault. Why do it if you admit it is wrong?

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting here. So I'm interested in getting a degree (probably a master's) in education. And I was wondering what university or institution is considered the best in the world. Thanks in advance!

How can non profit colleages secure more donors, both private (corporate) and public for funding?

My most common nightmare is that I discover that I failed an exam and that I actually did not graduate despite attending the ceremony. Other variations of the nightmare involve me being an active student and discover that I did not attend one of the courses I was enrolled in the entire year. Does anyone else have post-graduation PTSD the way I do?

August/Pre-planning: principal tells the teachers that it is admin's job to police dress code, and he does not want us to have any confrontations that take away from instruction regarding dress code

August/Open house: principal tells parents he will "not rule with an iron fist"

September: Principal starts to crack down on dress code and enforce a no hoodies/no hats policy. Has a coach threaten a student. Very rude and militant all-around.

October: A parent yells at principal for being rude to him and his child regarding no hats/hoodies

November: Principal starts verbal reprimands on teachers who do not enforce the hats/hoodies policy. Blames teachers for creating "safe havens" for students and allowing them to get away with "breaking the rules". Instructs teachers to email the dean if students break rules.

November: students look up dress code policy in the Student Code of Conduct to find no mention of hats or hoodies, but a statement that "headwear cannot cover the face". Hats and hoodies are not part of the dress code policy.

What step does the teacher take next? Do they have confrontations, do they contact the dean with a list of 20+ students wearing hats or hoodies during the day, do the address it with the principal directly?

And why is this the teacher's problem?

I'm currently enrolled in at community college soon to finish an associates in business. Another CC near me is offering sports management. If I complete my A.S. In business and I attend the CC with sports management, do I have to retake all of my gen Ed's? Will my A.S. In business become a sports management if I finish's or will I have 2 degrees?

Schools and universities benefit significantly from a comprehensive Student Information System (SIS), Learning Management System (LMS), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) because these tools streamline various facets of education management, from student records to communication and performance tracking. Here's a brief breakdown:

1. Student Management:
   • SIS maintains and organizes student data such as demographics, enrollment status, academic history, and personal details, making data easily accessible for staff and teachers.
2. Attendance Tracking:
   • SIS and LMS help automate attendance, allowing teachers to track and record student presence in classes, detect trends in absenteeism, and intervene early if needed.
3. Grading and Assessment:
   • LMS allows for seamless grading and assessment management, where teachers can create, assign, and grade assignments and exams. Students can see their progress in real-time, enhancing transparency and accountability.
4. Quizzes, Tests, and Assignments:
   • LMS provides a platform to create and administer quizzes and tests, often with automated grading for multiple-choice formats. This makes it easy to measure and analyze student performance at regular intervals.
5. Parent-Teacher-Student Communication:
   • CRM and SIS facilitate communication between teachers, parents, and students, enabling progress updates, alerts for attendance or academic concerns, and scheduling parent-teacher meetings. This creates a well-rounded support system for the student.
6. Curriculum and Content Delivery:
   • LMS centralizes learning materials, schedules, and resources, making it easy for students to access content anytime, fostering a blended learning environment that accommodates different learning paces and styles.
7. Analytics and Reporting:
   • All three systems provide insights on academic performance, attendance patterns, and engagement levels, helping educators identify at-risk students, evaluate teaching effectiveness, and refine curriculum as needed.

That's why we have built Classe365 - Complete Education Management System for Schools, Universities and Academies.

Our comprehensive software suite empowers educational institutions to streamline their entire administrative process.

With the Degree Audit module, students can stay aligned with their learning goals, while the Graduation and Alumni modules promote ongoing alumni engagement. Additionally, our latest AI module integrates across all features, enabling instant, data-driven interactions.

I’ve had a deep interest and love for science my entire life. I’ve studied for my entire life and have worked in the medical field for close to two years now. My issue is that I’m horrible at exams due to my dyslexia. I am able to apply my knowledge in labs and the world around me, but as soon as I have to take an exam it’s like I know nothing at all. I’ve spent all of my money on college just to get failing grades on so many exams.

The only job I’ve ever wanted in my entire life was to research new medical treatments and new ways to apply stem cells, but I feel like it’s not possible because I’m so bad with the current education system. Is there anything I can do to continue my education and get a job in medical research? I feel like I’ll be stuck here forever because I’m not able to do something everybody else can.

Tldr; I’m bad at exams and want to still be educated. Any advice?

Been trying to find stuff on this but I cant find anything on it, what are places to go that is not America that give CRNA programs or Anesthesioligy assistant programs, thank you very much for any assistance, also if you would happen to know good accelerated premed bachelor's I would appreciate the help their too. Have a good day. The previous place I want to this was r/anesthesiology, they said I had to remain on topic

Something about school is mind-numbingly exhausting and I cant seem to put my finger on it. I think a lot of it is what school is actually preparing us for. School is more of a mandatory job then a place made to facilitate learning and growing. We have so many classes in one day and being cramed with information is so exhausting. And then you have to go home and keep working. You get no rest. Not even the weekends because some kids work and others have families they need to help out with. It's like being in an unpaid internship. We put so much emphasis on grades (grades = money) that they can quite literally effect the rest of our lives. We have a society built on working day in and day out to afford things that exist naturally on the fucking planet. We are made to adopt the idea that you have to work hard forever from day one. School is made to make you used to and complacent in the way society works.

So I’m 15, I’m supposed to be in the 10th grade but I failed so im retaking the 9th grade my gpa 0.40 and I’m kinda not smart enough for school, my grades for the first semester gonna be 4 Es 3 Ds and a C (I have a C in geometry) and I wanna know if I have a chance of getting my GED and going to trade school.?

I am a substitute teacher, undergraduate student, and future school counseling student who's had hopes and dreams of going into education my whole life. This election has me feeling very concerned and nervous for my future job and the state of education as a whole.

How are you staying hopeful right now? What information is keeping you going? What do you think?

I have trustee account My collegue wants me to send Rs.100 cr to it and in return take 90 Cr back I have all clear docs

Should I do this deal Done or Not to interfere in such deals

If yes, what all should i be having as a Backup.

For me, I'm going to try to salvage and save as many books from them as possible. There's a place called The Book Thing in Baltimore - free books, just can't resell. I'm going to load up on as many history and banned books as possible since the burnings won't be far behind.

There have also been the reports of a national organization (blanking on what it's called) removing historical artifacts that make white America look bad, as well as Colonial Williamsburg removing links on their Revolutionary War page that acknowledges the impact on marginalized community.

What are other steps are you taking?

Hello everyone,

First time posting on this Reddit, so if I break any rules or if you miss any information please inform me.

I'm a teacher at a school in the Netherlands for kids aged about 10 to 15. I got the assignment to organize some parts of a video exposition in which the students make videos for different kinds of public. To present the video we need about 10 screens about 20 inches in diameter that are plug-and-play with SD cards or USB sticks. I thought about something like automated photo frames that are also used for pictures but these are quite expensive for their size

Does anybody have any experience with these kinds of exposition and what screens would you recommend?

Hello! I will be preparing for SAT soon but I have absolutely no idea what to expect. Some advice on how difficult SAT can be and what I'll have to do to do well in SAT would really help me.

Thank you in advance!

My mom is as liberal as they come, but in the 70's she was one of the first female school principals in our state of IL. When Jimmy Carter created this department, she hated it. She couldn't say enough bad things about it. She, and her fellow educators, believed they knew better than the federal government on how to educate their kids because every part of the country is different. You can't stick every circle piece in the same triangle hole. The job markets and prospects differed from that of DC, and every state.

I personally don't know or have experience with that field as I don't teach kids, but I thought I would mention the challenges educators have had with the Dept. of Ed. forcing requirements that not a lot of people really want, or believe are relevant.

She eventually got fed up after being chased around her desk by horny district board members and joined the Peace Corp, where she taught young educators around the world. I say this just to add perspective to her character.

I was a school social worker in NYS. I left to make more money but now I want to go back and I can’t see myself doing anything else. But now I’m nervous if I go back I’ll get let go. I’m obvi not as important as a teacher nor am I requirement for a school to have so if they have layoffs I’m sure I’d be one of the first to be let go.
