Going to Uni Just to Leave Home—Worth It?
I am no stranger to feeling like the black sheep everywhere I go. Yes, I have a loving family and a solid network of friends, but like thousands of other people like myself that are at the age of being "not quite sure" and "in between," I have always felt like there is something greater out there than what I have now. Whether that be more money, better friends, a more beautiful place to be, or more meaningful relationships with those around me, I've always wanted something more, but never quite known how to get to it.

Home Schooling in the UK
Why home school? There are as many reasons for taking your children out of mainstream education as there are families engaged in the process.

School Conditions in Mobile County Public Schools
The Mobile County Public School System in Alabama is quite horrendous. I understand some people don't feel this way. This is just my personal opinion.

I have found maybe one or two teachers that actually care about the future of their students, that actually help their students with certain programs to make their future better. Those teachers are the golden standard of how I, a student, feel teachers should act.

The age old question that every high schooler wants to know. And the answer that college students realized they cared way too much about.

Why University Is Perfect For Those Who Hated School
I won't lie to you all. I LOVED SCHOOL. Mostly, I loved being able to spend every second of those six hours with my best friends since I lived out of town and couldn't see them much out of school hours. I enjoyed learning and managed to find the perfect mix of mischievous banter and getting on with my work that I, for the most part, stayed on the good side of my teachers.

Best Apps for Teachers in 2018 to Download
Technology has drastically evolved over just a few years and not only are businesses and companies taking advantage of it, but technology has even increased learnability in both students and teachers.
