THE WEEK IN EDUCATION (6)
By Profesor Martin Danenberg “El Quijote del GED”
PAY PAL NOTICE
Something new in 2010. You can now order the GED program. It is so simple! Click on the word clic above my article (in the white section on the right). By clicking you can go to my website and find "Services" to order the GED program in English or Spanish. See the Pay Pal there. Thank you for taking this important, powerful step in your life. I really hope that a job or higher education awaits you, even induction into the military. Your future is important!
I visited a public school in Queens and spoke with the principal. The response was typical. It is usually we send our parents to such and such a place and we have a GED class for them. I quickly show the principals, with certain exceptions what is going on GED-wise in their community. I would like you to think about the annual percentage of GED in the nation which is one percent or close to it. New York is always around that one percent. That means one out of every adults who need a GED gets it in New York each year. There have been all kinds of bailouts recently and we have to get the principals involved in a bailout of tremendous importance. That bailout is the GED bailout. The principals must help instead of hinder.
I just got a request and this is an urgent one. A young woman was denied access to the military, a woman that has 43 college credits. She has no GED diploma and needs her GED diploma by August to join the military. I have started helping her. This is just another example of what I call now “catch up” education.
The Department of Education of the City of New York has a “mammoth” student-date system that cost $80 million. Parents will be able to go online to see their child’s “course grades, state test scores, biographical data, enrollment history and even day-to-day attendance records.” This will give the parents a closer working relationship with teachers, the article in the New York Post says. What each student needs is information posted including the weaknesses of each child. The parent would love to know if the child can use commas properly, a simple thing to teach. The parent would love to know if the child can do long division with zero in the quotient, a simple thing to teach. The parent would love to know if the child knows the difference on a map between north and south, east and west, a simple thing to teach. Each reading, writing, and math test should be accompanied by an analysis for all these things that could be posted and reviewed as needed by the parent.
Thanks to Queen Makkada, I was able to meet Brett Scudder and discuss the badly needed collaboration between GED and technology and I met him just as President Barack Obama announced his cyber security plan. Within minutes he agreed to bring GED under his umbrella. You can see that his organization is in several places around the country: Local US chapters are located in NYC, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Jacksonville NC and New Jersey. New chapters on the radar for 2010 – Denver/Colorado, New Orleans and Virginia. For more information please visit our website at http://titssn.net or contact us by phone at (718) 928-6516.
