Finding the right college, do you know how?

Posted on Jan 13, 2010 09:18:28 AM

I went to college where I could participate in athletics and have my college tuition paid for me.  Hindsight I’m not sure that was the best idea I ever had and certainly my dad was all for an education that was paid for but I could have taken another route with academic scholarships.  I think the latter would have been easier but I was hard headed. 

My husband’s education came from the military.  He doesn’t actually have a piece of paper that says he has a degree but his knowledge is endless.  So, for our children?  Who knows what path they will choose.  But, either way, I know that my husband and I will want to do thoroughly go through the options for them.

The internet makes it possible for my husband and I to make better decisions for our children.  A simple search engine with the words college, find a college or even search college is certain to help us find the right place for our children.

Math just comes easy for some people and for others..there’s Guaranteach

I mentioned already that in our house numbers are big.  I have OCD which manifests itself in counting.  I count almost anything.  My husband is just super smart and finds most math problems easy as well. 

And, our first grader?

He is doing multiplication now and it’s frustrating sometimes to even try to explain to him the difficult problems because breaking it down to a 6 year old level is not always easy.  But, I do know that in the future, we have the services of Guaranteach if we need it.

I took every math offered in my high school and never actually needed tutoring but I had a great teacher who was always willing to lend Algebra Help when we needed it.  My husband didn’t have the luxury of a prep school and had to fend for himself more.  Which is really sad since he is so smart. 

Either way, I can already tell you that when that smarty first grader starts to ask for Math Help, I will be sending him his father’s way.  I learned everything the book way.  My husband learned the practical way by using a well thought out process to solve problems.  So, definitely he is going to be handling the Algebra Tutoring.

And, if that fails us, we are very much a computer savvy family and I won’t hesitate to find Online Tutoring for my children.  It’s simply not a secret that good practical math skills will lead to good higher math skills and you can’t skimp in the beginning and still reap the rewards in the end.
