6-Step Quick-Start Guide to Substituting for Your Kid's School While It's Closed
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- So far, six states and several city school districts have closed K-12 public schools for at least next week, affecting approximately 5 million children. So, what do the parents of these kids need to know to make the best out of a bad situation? 1. The most important factor is motivation. You can lead a child to learning, but you can't make him learn. A resistant, lazy, or distracted child in the best classroom will not learn anything. Teaching your child is ultimately about shepherding their soul. A true education equals moral formation.

Tuesday's Teachings (From Life) The problem with most advice

In conditions of uncertainty -- in other words, in life -- we assume others know something we don't. But a single case study often represents the entire foundation for their disturbingly confident advice. On the receiving end, we tend to equate confidence with accuracy. Before you act on advice, even from a trusted source, seek multiple opinions -- particularly contrarian ones. In the end, having an adaptable mind will take you further in life than blindly following the confident advice of any self-proclaimed expert. Instead of trying to answer ...

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
