Unca Chemistry For Teenagers Review

Unca Chemistry For Teenagers ReviewUnca Chemistry for Teenagers is the new book of one Chris Rieser, author of the unbelievably popular My Own Worst Enemy and Love Is Love. Unfortunately this book will be on my non-required reading list this year. It's not so much a bad book, but more of a book I couldn't get through as a teen, because I was so engrossed in the ideas that I just couldn't get my mind around the metaphors used. Maybe in ten years, as a father of teenagers I'll be able to take it seriously, but right now it's just too dry for me.I think there's a reason Chris wrote this book as an adult, because many of the concepts he explores in this book are still taught in American college students today. The trouble is that he spent most of his life studying psychology, while many of his ideas were developed in graduate school. The result is a dry book that I was afraid I would have to give up long before I could finish the book.He identifies a group of people called geniuses and a rgues that a certain amount of brilliance is necessary for survival. Unfortunately he never really develops his own brilliance and instead resorts to labeling other people's brilliance. Unca Chemistry for Teenagers is really not unlike the media's portrayal of the genius as an undisciplined psychopath.The core of the book is a series of vivid illustrations of what makes someone brilliant. I couldn't quite get into the concept, but I could understand why others might enjoy the idea. The book gets a lot of things right, though, and much of the book is an example of the author's ability to depict the mental and emotional growth of a genius.As an adult, I always wondered if it was really possible to teach problem solve, or even communication, to children. My experience with them has been that they respond well to the rules. Yet I've never quite been able to get my head around the idea that the only way to create a child's mind, to make them intellectually competitive with adults, is to keep their minds that are perpetually open to challenge. In essence, this book does an excellent job of breaking down the perception that childhood is all about just playing games.In the final section of the book Unca Chemistry for Teenagers is able to bring a little reality to the theme of teaching problems to solve. They tell the story of one of the parents of a genius child who did his homework during lunch and was put in isolation for two weeks. That is why I didn't have as much fun as I wanted to as a child, because he had to sit down and think for himself.Overall, I really enjoyed the book. It was very interesting to see where Unca Rieser was coming from, and a good read. I would recommend this book to any parents of teenagers who are looking for a good book that gives them a dose of reality and a good idea of how their kids will interact with other adults.

Six Reasons Your Teen Might Need Huntington this School Year

Six Reasons Your Teen Might Need Huntington this School Year For some students, learning doesnt come easy. School and homework are daily frustrations and a major source of stress at home. And the further these students get in the school year, the worse the problems become. Sound familiar? It might be time to get help for your student. Here are six reasons your teen might need Huntington this year: To pinpoint and correct problems Taking a broad-brush approach to fixing school issues will not be effective long term. At Huntington, we dont believe in one-size-fits-all tutoring. All programs are customized to meet the unique needs of each student. Our teachers start by pinpointing teens precise areas of weakness so that we can develop programs that correct those areas. To close the skill gaps Your teen brings home a bad test grade or poor report card, but whats really going on? There are likely many contributors, but skill gaps are a common issue we see at Huntington. Skill gaps occur when teens are missing important knowledge that they need to progress in a subject. For example, geometry problems will prove difficult for a teen who still struggles with basic algebra and other skills reaching back to middle school. We identify these gaps through an Academic Evaluation, then build an individualized learning program. To facilitate an attitude change When school isnt going well, many students become pessimistic about learning altogether. Huntingtons primary goal is to help children make substantial gains in school, but our learning programs are about more than that. Our teachers will identify the root cause of your teens learning difficulties and tackle them one by one. The more we guide your teen toward success, the better she feelsand the faster she lets go of those negative emotions. With college on the horizon, bolstering this type of persistence and independence as a learner is very important. To give your teen a boost in motivation All children have periods in school where they lose steam temporarily, but if your teen has seemed less and less engaged in school for a while, tutoring can make a big difference. For some, the lack of motivation stems from frustration and embarrassment. Its easier to give up than continue to fail. For others, homework that is too difficultbecause they lack the skills to complete itseems pointless. No matter the source of the problem, Huntington can help. As your teen gears up for college-level academics, well help your teen become more engaged and motivated to learn and push him or herself. To help your teen feel happy again When school is challenging, its very easy for teens to experience a range of emotions. Some become highly self-critical and lose self-esteem, while others shut down completely. A tutoring program tailored to your teens needs can transform him for the better into a confident, enthusiastic student who is eager to learn and eager to go on to college. To set your teen on the path to lifelong success You might think of tutoring as a short-term fix, but the benefits your teen will gain in the Huntington program will last a lifetimeinto college and beyond. Your teen will emerge as a more optimistic student who perseveres when faced with any challenge and isnt afraid to self-advocate. That alone is worth the investment. If last school year was difficult for your teen or you simply want to help your teen get off to a great start this year as college nears, call Huntington at 1-800 CAN LEARN. We help students of all ages fulfill their potential in school and life and can do the same for your teen.

Make After School Learning Social With These 5 Tips

Make After School Learning Social With These 5 Tips 5 Ways to Make After School Learning Social A lot of younger students begin to dislike schoolwork because it takes them away from socializing with their friends. Many students begin to view studying as something they have to do by themselves while sitting at a desk in their study room and wish they could be outside playing with classmates and neighbors. However, afterschool academics can be a fun and social activity as long as there is enough organization to make sure that ample learning takes place. Kids have a ton of structure in the classroom but may still need to work on a healthy balance between education and socialization during afterschool learning. 1.   Form a neighborhood study group One thing parents can do is form a neighborhood study group. Its not necessary for each kid to be working on the same assignment or even be in the same class but just that they have a chance to learn socially. Concepts such as reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics are all universal so kids can work on learning these skills together. They can work with a support specialist or get help from a parent in order to stay organized and progress forward. Even getting kids together to participate in an informal field trip to a local museum or learning center can be a great way to put the social element back into learning. 2.   Participate in community sports activities Community sports activities offer a great opportunity for kids to be social. Physical education is a type of learning and can teach kids discipline, teamwork, and build their self-esteem when done properly. Kids who participate in a more informal type of sports activity have the opportunity to try new things and see what really serves as a good fit. Students can go to their local family gym and participate in classes in a safe and welcoming environment or they can sign up to be on a local soccer team or take swimming lessons. The important thing is that they get to try something new in a supportive and social environment. 3. Utilize child care that supports academics Another great way for kids to be social while learning is to attend childcare or afterschool care that really focuses on academics. Some childcare centers will offer kids academic support and give them the opportunity to work with an educator who can help them get started on their homework or even understand difficult concepts that were brought up in the classroom. Childcare centers will always be social because there are lots of kids of all different ages spending time in this environment. Its important for kids to be able to get along with others of their own age but also to know how to interact with children a few years younger or older. 4.   Learn at an art studio Afterschool art classes are a fantastic way for kids to socialize in a positive educational environment. Most art studios have group projects or offer a situation in which kids are allowed to interact and talk with each other because it doesnt disrupt the activity like it might in the classroom environment. Hands-on activities such as ceramics and painting definitely encourage kids to socialize and experience learning with others. 5.   Participate in small group tutoring When it comes to really difficult and specific academic concepts, its best for students to learn one-on-one with a private tutor. However, when kids just need to work on general concepts or stay organized, they can benefit from small group tutoring. Many tutors will come to the home and work with three to five kids at once, allowing students to improve academically but also enjoy time with friends and learn how to work in a group. Our private tutors are great one-on-one, and will help your student develop both educational and social skills. Call TutorNerds today for more information on our private San Diego academic tutoring.
