Home Schooling and Teaching Kids to Think
It often seems in the public school system that we are teaching children memorization rather than teaching them to think. Although a lot has been done to upgrade the public school system an insure that every kid gets the proper education, unfortunately the No Child Left Behind Act does not help teach kids to think all the time.
In fact it may do just the opposite. It may be teaching kids to answer a specific question to a specific problem and that would be memorization and not actually thinking. Although each kid would benefit from getting information and learning; there is a big difference between figuring out a problem and thinking and simply knowing the answer because you had memorized it.

Continuing Education Choices
What is continuing education? It is usually defined as courses that are taken after a degree or without the purpose of receiving a degree. But the best way to describe continuing education is to give examples of what it is and is not. Here are some examples to help make the continuing education picture a little clearer:
Community education courses: Often cities or counties will offer adult education courses that teach things like art, basic computer skills, and even language courses. These classes usually do not meet more than a few weeks, but you can often take a series of courses that build on each other. The instructors of community continuing education courses are usually people from the community who have a particular area of expertise or professional knowledge to share. These courses are usually not very expensive. GED courses and ESL courses are not included in this group.
