The Library Is Changing at the Speed of Google
The university library. For those of us of a certain age, many, many an hour was spent there. When we walked uphill through the snow - bothways, of course - to do research, there was simply no alternative. The university library was the place to be. It was where all research started. When you needed to do research, the library - not the World Wide Web - was your source of all information. Yes, it was also a social place and a study space, but more than anything else, the purpose of the library was clear: It had "the stuff" you needed to research anything - and there really was no alternative!

Ways to Make the Education System Better
Politicians desperately need to put more money into the education system. Without money for education, kids lack the education they need to survive in the real world as adults. More teachers need to be hired who are very good, and are qualified to work in all neighborhoods around the country. Smaller classes in all schools are a good benefit, because the students will be able to concentrate and learn. All schools should have tutors in all classrooms so that the students will always have access to help whenever needed. Sadly many kids are falling behind academically, because many schools lack tutors, and have very few teachers. To be able to help the kids who fall behind academically we need to provide them with extra help with their academics. Every school in every state and district needs to involve parents, and in some cases parents need help themselves to be able to help their kids succeed successfully in their academics, which in return will help them throughout their lives. Good education creates doctors, lawyers, politicians, and so on. Without a good education these kids don't have a fair chance.

Kids and Summer Slide
Every year a handoff from teacher to parent leaves a child with a powerful chance. They can either play their parents and teachers as fools or they can continue learning. Most kids want to laze away summer vacation on the couch playing video games or watching cartoons. If parents are lucky outside play time can be unforced. Still, this doesn't help the child retain what they learned while in school.

The Death of Art and Music
Music and art are important in almost every aspect of life—even if you don't realize it. Advertisements, movies, radio, children's toys, architecture, clothing—the arts are everywhere. So if they are so important to nearly every aspect of life, why are they the first things to be cut in schools?

Self-Esteem Activities for Children
The children of today are growing up in a world over-saturated with impossible beauty standards seen everywhere from photo-shopped celebrity images on social media to beauty and fitness ads on television. Kids, especially young girls, are being exposed to these fake images and are learning from younger and younger ages that they need to look a certain way, a way which might not even be possible for them. While some companies such as Aerie and American Eagle are embracing the "un-retouched" ad, there is still a long way to go before body positivity messages can become mainstream. In the meantime, there are things you can do with your kids, either in a classroom setting or at home, to help combat this cultural phenomenon and teach your children that they are worthy of respect.
