The need for a satisfactory education is more important than ever before. Nowadays, without a qualification from a reputable school or university, the odds of landing that plum job advertised in the paper are considerably shortened. Moreover, one’s present level of education could fall well short of future career requirements.
It is no secret that competition is the driving force behind the need to obtain increasingly higher qualifications. In the majority of cases, the urge to upgrade is no longer the result of an insatiable thirst for knowledge. The pressure is coming from within the workplace to compete with ever more qualified job applicants, and in many occupations one must now battle with colleagues in the reshuffle for the position one already holds.
Striving to become better educated is hardly a new concept. Wealthy parents have always been willing to spend the vast amounts of extra money necessary to send their children to schools with a perceived e

With the development of the education, more and more parents hold the opinion that schools no longer focus on word spelling. As a basic writing skill, I want to say no school have taught in has ever overlooked spelling or considered it unimportant. However, opinions vary from person to person regarding how to teach it, or how much priority it should be given over general linguistic education and writing ability. The problem seems to be how to encourage children so that they can express themselves freely and have confidence in writing instead of preventing them from progress with the complexities of spelling.
If a teacher is only interested in word spelling, a bright child will be most likely to "play safe". He will attempt to write down the only words that he knows clearly and avoids adventurous new ones. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and attach great importance to content rather than technical ability.

As people age and need more help with daily activities, such as bathing or taking medication, moving to a facility that provides some assistance, without sacrificing independence, may be an option. This type of environment, known as assisted living, has emerged in the past two decades as an increasingly available option for housing and long-term care. The growth of assisted living facilities has leveled off in recent years, however, as the economic downturn hampered new construction and occupancy rates.
In 2007, there were approximately 38 000 assisted living facilities nationwide, serving about 975000 residents. The overwhelming majority of assisted living residents in the United States are female, according to the National Center for Assisted Living. One of the most common types of facilities that provide assisted living are called continuing care retirement communities, which offer a stepwise approach to care, says Kerry Peck, an elder law attorney based in Chicago. &q
