Over the years, I’ve learned to put my well-being first and let go of some stress around academic performance.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

“Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” Those words were penned by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, in a letter to his son back in 1774. The 4th Earl of Chesterfield knew was he was talking about. There is no purpose in doing anything worth doing unless you intend to do it well. At least eventually. Successful people are willing to do something poorly until they can do it well.

A new study conducted by the ultra-conservative Manhattan Institute and published by the City Journal claims to prove that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is being taught in K-12 education. However, their claim is false, because they misrepresented CRT to prove their point. According to the study, evidence that CRT is being taught in school comes from recent high school graduates endorsing the following four statements: (1) “America is a systemically racist country,” (2) “white people have white priv

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens on Oct. 1 every year. Although the federal deadline gives you until June of the following year to submit, states and schools set much earlier deadlines. Instead of waiting until a FAFSA deadline approaches, it’s a better idea to submit this important form as close to Oct. 1 as possible. If you apply early, not only will you meet all the various FAFSA deadlines, but you might also get more financial aid for college.

To “get rid” of the annoying person you would say, “go fly a kite.”. It was a way of telling someone to go away. But when you stop to think about it “go fly a kite” is some awesome advice.

One of the biggest myths about financial aid is that you shouldn’t apply if your family makes too much money. But the reality is that there are no income limits with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); any eligible student can fill out the FAFSA to see if they qualify for aid. While some aid is based on financial need (such as subsidized loans and Pell Grants), other aid is not (such as unsubsidized federal loans).
