Is education important for kids to succeed?

Written by Charlotte Picardo and Proofread by Laura Casanova

Education has become such an integral part of all our lives; however, it’s important to be aware of our privileges. Some

students may not have access to this facility/service due to their parents’ lack of finances. This topic has been quite controversial

in political debates and in general conversations as well. I thought it would be great to discuss to what extent an

education is important for kids to succeed. This is a point of view from a student in Grade 12.

This topic could be explored on many levels, such as by considering the different types of schools students have access to

and to assess whether these schools help students with their education and moving forward in their career.

1.Compulsory schools: Schools that students are required to attend as imposed by a rule from the government.

2.Home schools: Also known as homeschooling or EHE (elective home education), education takes place at home rather

than in school or other institutions.

3.Charter schools: A type of school that receives funding from the government but operates independently from the

school district it is in.

4.Grammar schools: This is quite different from the usual schools available, and pupils are selected to attend this school

based on their overall academic performance, making it extremely prestigious.

5.State schools: Also known as public schools, they tend to educate students without a fee. They offer in-person and virtual

learning in several parts of the world.


4. Reading/writing learners

Most educational systems commonly include essays at some point, whether it be in English literature, geography, economics

or sociology. Students who prefer reading over the information rather than listening to it fall into this category. This learning

style can be observed in several ways, some of which are through the form of writing essays, doing research and reading books

and articles. Reading and writing are basic forms of learning even in a new language, and are also skills that are important for

school, work and home. It also helps to broaden vocabulary to communicate effectively to others.

Now that you have an overview of the types of education institutions available and the learning styles, it’s good to be aware

that no matter which of the above is your preferred learning style, education remains the uppermost priority because of all that

it helps us do in our careers. I would say that education is important for kids to succeed, especially given the fact that we all

communicate through reading, writing and speaking, which are all involved in education itself. Understanding and being able

to respond also helps us determine the difference between the right and wrong. Hence, New Heights Educational Group strives

to focus on providing this service to all - education is close to our hearts. Our group promotes literacy for children and adults by

offering a range of student support services for their educational needs.

We all study and look at things differently. Learning techniques allow the coordination of students in grasping concepts

effectively and efficiently. This helps boost confidence as students are able to solve problems by coming up with solutions.

This can affect learning in order to communicate well and improve performance.

1.Visual learners

Visual learners are able to grasp knowledge through visual figures, such as drawing, mind maps, diagrams, directions,

presentations, pictures, posters and anything to do with images.

In this case, I would say that education contains all the aspects that visual learners prefer. It makes students view situations

differently, such as during a debate class, answering exam questions, and giving opinionated views when delivering

presentations on the same topic. It helps us think outside the box. Education gives us knowledge about the world around

us. Learning helps personal growth and opens doors to endless career possibilities.

2.Auditory learners

These students aren’t afraid to speak up, since they love the learning style of listening. They tend to learn subject matter

reinforced by sound rather than reading written notes. Listening plays an important role in our lives as it demonstrates

how closely we pay attention to details and thoughts. Especially in education, listening to teachers’ lectures helps us communicate

our thoughts and opinions to another individual, which is key in establishing relationships with those around us.

3.Kinesthetic learners

These students grasp studies by performing physical activities and practically experiencing concepts. Some examples

favored by this learning style include games, making things with hands and gestures, remembering words by writing them

several times and using whiteboards. Education is a form of acquiring knowledge, skills and morals, which can take place

through a variety of techniques including practical work. For instance, this work can include making a chart or a poster

for a presentation, a skill that is vital even in the workplace as clients or directors may often ask that information be explained

in a way that is much more appealing and attractive to customers.

Defiance, Ohio – August 16, 2021 – New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) was named the winner of two Gold Stevie®

Awards in the categories of Company of the Year - Diversified Services - Medium-size and Education Hero of the Year.

The organization was also named the winner of one Silver Stevie® Award Company of the Year - Business or Professional

Services - Medium-size category in The 18th Annual International Business Awards® today.

worldwide – public and private, for-profit and nonprofit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2021

IBAs received entries from organizations in 63 nations and territories.

As the ongoing COVID-19 crisis will prevent winners from receiving their awards on stage during a traditional gala IBA

banquet, winners will be celebrated instead during a virtual ceremony on Wednesday, December 8.

consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New

Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive

of the Year, among others. This year’s competition also featured a number of categories to recognize organizations’ and

individuals’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some of the judges comments include:

--You are doing a noble job in education.

--NHEG is providing a lifeline for people with special needs. This is a very good cause and worthy of recognition. A few

testimonials from the beneficiaries and schools would have been great supporting material.

--This is a very good initiative.

--Great social cause and appreciate Pamela’s fearless leadership.

--This is an inspirational story about a very good initiative. Keep up the good work!

--Very good accomplishment towards reading and learning and giving back to the community.

is my life’s work, and something I’m passionate about. Being blessed with those who support the cause is crucial to

what we do and continue to accomplish.”

the judging process from June through early August.

“What we’ve seen in this year’s IBA nominations is that organizations around the world, in every sector, have continued

to innovate and succeed, despite the setbacks, obstacles and tragedies of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” said Stevie

Awards president Maggie Gallagher. “All of this year’s Stevie Award winners are to be applauded for their persistence and

SUPPORT NHEG WITH YOUR DONATIONS

When you donate to our nonprofit organization, you not only support NHEG and its dream of providing a one-stop-shop in


education, but the dreams of families in Ohio and beyond. These families come from all backgrounds and all school choice

options. NHEG is a strong proponent of education reform and advocating for all families left behind in traditional schools.

Anyone that asks for help receives it. Anyone from anywhere can take our online courses and participate in our leadership

groups. We have accomplished so much since our creation in June of 2006, but there is more to be done.

Here are some of the goals, that you can help bring to fruition:

NHEG envisions a Computer Lab and Learning Center.

These labs are to provide a space for academic research, academic studies, school assignments, educational planning,

testing and tutoring services, and other educational options. The labs can be used by families with students enrolled in any

type of school or after-school program, for homeschool resources and as a teaching space for themed co-op/enrichment

classes. The facilities will enable NHEG to teach, assist and provide technology resources to families for self-learning.

Of course, your donations will help expand our programs to help reach more students and their families as well as secure

locations for our offices and our very own library.

Our short- and long-term goals include: obtaining a building for our programs and activities, securing paid staff, implementing

a sensory room for those with disabilities, and creating a daycare for young mothers and fathers.

To reach this goal we need $438,707.

This is the average cost over a lifetime to support someone without a high school diploma. After we reach the above goals

we will start planning for a Montessori School.

How would you like to help?

Educators: Learning loss is not top concern

for schools

EdSurge

Justin Reich and Jal Mehta | Sep 7, 2021

“Learning loss,” getting back to normal” and reviving lagging test scores

are not the top concerns facing schools, according to input from 4,000

students interviewed by over 200 teachers. These issues are promoted

by the media and policymakers as the primary challenges in K-12

education, but those closest to the classroom say the biggest concerns

are rundown school facilities and an “overstuffed curriculum” that lacks

opportunity for personal connection and interest-based exploration,

among others.

According to the National Center for PTSD, there are three factors that

increase the risk of a child developing PTSD. They are: how severe

the traumatic event is, the parental reaction to it, and the physical

proximity of the child to the event. Children who have experienced the

most severe traumas are at the greatest risk. When the families of

distressed children are supportive and/or when children are further

removed from the trauma, they are less likely to exhibit symptoms of

PTSD.

PTSD symptoms in children can include:

• recurring nightmares

• sleeplessness

• fearfulness

• irritability

• agitation

• intense vigilance

• avoidance

• separation anxiety

• change in school performance

• emotional numbness

• social withdrawal

• lost of interest in activities

• angry outbursts

• difficulty concentrating

• guilt

• worry for others

• physical complaints

Children with PTSD often have persistent, frightening thoughts and

are preoccupied with danger. They may reenact the traumatic event

in repetitive play, retell it often, or use art to illustrate what happened.

However, unlike most children, their reactions are compulsive and do

not seem to reduce their level of anxiety.

Some children are able to recover from a traumatic event by themselves,

while others cannot. Children with severe symptoms can recover

by participating in therapy with trained mental health professionals

who have expertise in treating PTSD victims. Medication to alleviate

serious symptoms may be prescribed by a psychiatrist. Taking medicine

can assist children in coping with school and other daily living

activities while treatment continues. Support groups or group therapy

can be useful in helping children learn that they are not the only ones

who have PTSD. Groups also provide a safe atmosphere in which children

can share personal feelings.

A child’s teacher and/or school counselor can play an important role

in recognizing and facilitating a child’s recovery from a severe

Provide a familiar, calm, consistent environment

do not pressure the child to do so

Be aware of certain activities that may trigger the child’s anxiety or

regression and safeguard against them

If you suspect that the child is a danger to him or herself or others,

seek help immediately

Elicit Parental Cooperation

After observing and recording the child’s behaviors, share the information

with the parent

Listen to the parent’s ideas concerning the child and any exposure

he or she may have had to a traumatic event * If deemed appropriate,

encourage the parent to seek a professional opinion concerning

the child’s condition

Ways To Help a Parent

Stress that the parent should consider the child’s developmental

level when discussing a traumatic event

State the importance of keeping a child’s routine as normal as possible,

and that the child may need extra love, support and reassurance

to feel safe

Encourage the parent to listen if the child wants to talk, but not to

force him or her to do so

Stress the importance of reassuring a child that his or her feelings

are normal

Emphasize that the child needs to hear that he or she is not to

blame for what happened

Comment that distressed children often exhibit regressive behaviors

such as those of a younger child, so being critical of a child’s

immature actions could be detrimental

Since feeling out-of-control is a common symptom, propose that the

parent provide opportunities for the child to make simple decisions

for him or herself

If the parent seems distraught, suggest that he or she try to find

emotional support, so that the parent can be available to help the

child

Keep lines of communication open between the parent and school

personnel

EDUCATOR’S GUIDE TO OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER

IN CHILDREN


Individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) have difficulty processing

information. They do the same thing again and again to alleviate

their unwanted and distressful thoughts. These illogical thoughts, urges

and images are called obsessions and can include marked fear of germs,

being hurt, hurting someone, and doubting themselves. It is estimated

that one to two percent of American children have OCD and that a correct

diagnosis and appropriate treatment are often unavailable.

Obsessions lead to compulsive actions or rituals that individuals are driven

to perform. Some examples are: excessive hand washing, hoarding, arranging

things in exact order, and repeatedly checking to see if the stove

or faucet is turned off. Other compulsions are continually repeating words

or numbers and avoiding certain objects or situations that an individual

may perceive as harmful.

Although OCD usually begins in adolescence or young adulthood, elementary-aged

children, as well as preschoolers, have been diagnosed with

OCD. In primary school children with OCD usually become aware that

their thinking or actions are different than those of their peers and family

members. They often begin to think of themselves as being stupid or crazy.

Other common reactions are embarrassment or hiding or suppressing

their symptoms. As a result their self-esteem is adversely affected.

OCD can significantly interfere with a child’s normal functioning, academic

progress and social relationships. Particular obsessions seem to

change as children grow older. Some sufferers experience a progression

of traits, while others have symptoms that increase and decrease over

time. The disorder may last a lifetime.

A child with OCD may exhibit the following behaviors at school:

• Rechecks work repeatedly;

• Erases and rewrites assignments;

• Orders or arranges things in a certain way;

• Insists that his or her things must stay in exactly the same place;

• Repeats words or numbers over and over;

• Tries to avoid certain areas of school;

• Hoards items;

• Tattles on other students;

• Appears preoccupied, anxious, temperamental, and/or pressured;

• Washes hands often;

• Exhibits poor eating habits;

• Lacks energy and physical well-being;

• Complains often of having a headache or an upset stomach;

• Displays inadequate social skills; and/or

• Hides or ignores his or her compulsive behaviors.

Behaviors that may occur at home, include:

• Exhibiting symptoms that take up most of his or her energy and time;


• Spending more than one hour per day to complete rituals;

• Taking long showers;

• Changing clothes often;

• Expressing concern that if the rituals are not completed correctly,

the day will be ruined;

• Becoming antagonistic if someone tries to interrupt his or her

rituals;

• Having unrealistic fears;

• Expressing concern that germs, dirt, or toxic substances may

cause him or

• her to become ill;

• Avoiding eating certain foods for fear that they may be contaminated;

• Stating safety concerns about him or herself and/or family

members;

• Repeatedly checking to see if the doors and windows are

locked;

• Having worries involving religion and/or moral issues;

• Praying repeatedly;

• Stating the fear that he or she may have harmed himself or

others; and/or

• Verbalizing concern about losing control and behaving inappropriately

or aggressively.

Questions to Consider

1. Has the child been diagnosed with other disorders such as

Tourette’s syndrome, tic disorder, panic disorder, social phobia,

developmental disability, depression, oppositional defiant

disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder?

2. How long (weeks, months, years) has the behavior been

extreme?

3. How often during a day does he or she exhibit illogical behavior?

4. In what ways do the child’s actions interfere with his or her

daily living activities?

If a child’s behavior is extreme, the teacher, school counselor and/

or administrator need to meet with a parent or guardian to share

their concerns.

Children with OCD are usually treated by an adolescent psychiatrist

with a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques

and, at times, medication. The disorder often occurs in families,

but a child may be diagnosed with OCD without a family history

of the disorder. Open communication among all of those involved

with the child is necessary to increase understanding of the complex

issues associated with OCD.

NHEG OFFICE CURRICULUM LIBRARY

We would like to offer educational events, computer labs, public events,

tutoring and other educational activities in this location and plan to continue

offering classes, tutoring, and some afterschool events in Defiance.

Short term goals: Our vision includes reacquiring a building in Defiance,

Ohio. This can be achieved either by obtaining funding or a donated building.

This building will house our curricula library, public educational events

and providing fill-in-the-gaps, high-quality tutoring, place for families to

come in and use technology including computers, obtain a GED, or educate

their own children on site.

Families will be able to walk in without an appointment to ask any educational

question.

Longer term goals:

We foresee a daycare for young mothers and fathers in high school

(main target) and college and

will provide affordable daycare in hopes of keeping them in school.

New Heights Educational Group has helped me with all four of my children over the years. That help has ranged from receiving online

tutoring in certain subjects to creating legal high school diplomas for my home schooled kids.

This is a caring, honest, top-notch organization.

I’ve been trying to find virtual opportunities to volunteer, and I must say, this non profit organization has helped me find that. That’s

not all, this organization is professional, sincere, generous, and very thoughtful about the needs of others. They are not only virtual,

but also remote with their own headquarters. Working with them, I was able to pursue something I loved while helping others. I received proper

training and met lots of great people. I am proud to say, I am happy to be part of helping this wonderful nonprofit organization.

I had a great experience volunteering with this nonprofit. Everyone was very professional and kind. Ethics weren’t being compromised anywhere and

law was being followed carefully everywhere. We recruited a lot of really dedicated people with skills needed to get things done. I’m still enjoying all

the talent I see there especially among the creatives I worked most with. They even had work from home figured out way before the pandemic!

OUR RECIPES

CHICKEN PICATTA RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 2-6 oz. pieces of skinless, boneless breasts of chicken

• 1 cup flour for dredging

• 4 tablespoons of butter

• Â¼ cup white wine

• Â¼ cup chicken stock

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons capers

• 2 tablespoons flat leaf Italian chopped parsley

• Salt and pepper to taste

OUR RECIPES

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut the chicken breasts in half, place plastic wrap over the meat

and beat with a meat tenderizer until the surface is flat. Season

both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, and dredge with

flour. Place a medium saucepan on high heat; add 2 tablespoons

of butter. Once the butter is melted, and the pan is adequately

hot, add the chicken and sear on both sides. Cook the chicken

until browned on both sides, then place on a plate. Deglaze the

pan with the white wine, chicken stock, and lemon juice. Once the

liquid has reduced by half add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter

and stir. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pour

the sauce over the chicken and serve. Enjoy!

KILLER SHRIMP RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 2 quarts chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons rosemary

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon celery seed

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed

• 1 cup clam juice

• 3 ounces tomato paste

• 1 cup butter

• 1 cup chardonnay or sauvignon blanc

• 2 pounds shrimp with tails or tails and shells (messier, but more like the original!)

• 1 (1 pound) loaf Italian of French bread for dipping

MOODY DINER’S EASY PEANUT BUTTER PIE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz. cream cheese, room temp

• 1/2 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter

• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted after measuring

• 12 oz. Cool Whip (I only had 8 oz. extra creamy on hand, which worked fine.)

• 1 chocolate cookie crust (Keebler’s or other), or graham cracker crust

• or go to links for homemade

• optional: hot fudge sauce, Nutella, Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce, chopped milk chocolate

added to crust.

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl, pour into the pie crust.

2. Refrigerate or freeze for several hours before serving.

DIRECTIONS

1. Add all ingredients except the wine and the shrimp to a large pot and bring to a boil Reduce to a low simmer and cook for 30 minutes to

1 hour.

2. Add the wine and cook for an additional 1 hour.

3. Just before serving, stir in the shrimp and cook about 3 minutes until shrimp are opaque. Serve the shrimp in a bowl, almost totally covered

with broth, and with bread for soaking up all the yummy broth. This is also great over linguini, which is another way it was offered

at the restaurant. You’ll still want bread for sponging at the end.

ROMANIAN MITITEI (LITTLE SAUSAGES) RECIPE (GLUTEN FREE)

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lbs fatty pork

• 2.5lbs fatty beef

• 2 tsp salt

• 3 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 tsp thyme,

• 8oz beef broth or seltzer water

• 1 oz oil

• 3 tsp spicy paprika

• 16 cloves garlic mashed/pressed to paste

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix meat together really well in a large bowl. Add spices, one by one until well mixed in the meat.

2. Add beef broth (or seltzer) to the mix and the oil until well mixed in.

3. Add garlic last and mix until well combined.

4. *note - The difference between the beef broth and seltzer is that the seltzer will make the sausages more “puffy” when combined with the

baking soda and allowed to rise. For more dense sausages, the beef broth is perfectly fine. The amount of garlic used can be adjusted to taste.

THE INCREDIBLE HEALTHY, CRUNCHY, CHEWY & YUMMY GRANOLA COOKIERECIPE (GLUTEN FREE)

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup Earth Balance Soy Free Spread (gf,v,df, 0 transfats, Non-GMO) (RED CONTAIN-

ER)

• 3/4 cup Coconut Crystals

• 2 cups Almond Flour

• 2 Eggs

• 1 tsp. Double Strength vanilla

• 1 tsp. Cake Spice (Penzeys Spices)

• 4 cups Giddy Up & Go Granola (Green Script)

• 1 cup Dried Cranberries (Juiced Sweetened)

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350. Cream together the spread and coconut crystals until mixed well. GRADUALLY add the almond flour and mix well.

Add the eggs, vanilla extract and cake spice and mix well. Stir in the Giddy Up & Go Granola by hand along with the cranberries. Use

a small cookie scoop and drop onto a cookie sheet that is lined with a parchment baking sheet. Take another baking sheet and place

over cookies. Pat down using a spatula, flattening the cookies. Remove the baking sheet and bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes (start at

12 minutes) until edges are browned and center is chewy.

You can also mix off a little piece and fry it in a pan to adjust seasonings as you’d like before taking the next steps.

5. Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for 2-8hrs. If you don’t want to use the entire mix, you can freeze the mix after 2 hrs in the fridge to save

it for the next time you want to use it.

6. After 2 hrs, take the bowl out and form sausage-length links in your palm that are about 1-1 .5 in thick and about 3in long.

7. Cook these on the grill until well done inside, being careful to turn them regularly so they don’t burn. Approximately 6-8 min on each side.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
