This I Believe
I believe in kids. I believe that kids can teach us some valuable lessons, whether or not they intended to. They can impact us and challenge us to think differently. Kids teach us that not everything has to be so complex, that life can be simple. They are always honest about their opinions. If they do not want to do something like a certain craft, they will tell you. Or if they will tell you if they like you or not. Kids also show others how to live a carefree life, and not worry about every single detail. Kids also have a great imagination, and dream big whenever they think about the future. All kids believe that they can make it to a major league sports team, or become the president of the country. Whatever it is that the child wants to do, they will go out of their way to do it, or at least have a lot of knowledge about the subject. These are just a few things kids teach older people, rather the other way around.

The Benefits of Gaining a Good Education
Education is what drives this country and many of the world's leading countries' economies. Why? Simply because the people who understand how to do things better, faster, and with higher quality receive the highest incomes. The United States is well educated as a whole, but there are some people who are beyond normal education. These are the leaders of our generation. People like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and many others should create their own colleges, in order to teach people that education doesn't end after high school or college, and that there are many different education models to fit certain students. Like water is necessary for your plants to grow, education is also necessary for your mind to grow. Proper education should be given to everyone starting as a young child, and JCC daycare is one of the most prestigious institutions that understands the importance of proper education for children.

An Open Letter to All Educators in the United States and Beyond
Dear Educators of the World, I recently read a news article about a mother going into a school in South Carolina classroom and confronting the kids in there for bullying her son. I don't blame her. If the teachers and the other staff did their jobs, instead of letting her son be harassed and physically abused then, she wouldn't have to do their jobs for them.

The Most Common Barriers to Learning and How to Overcome Them
With the advent of smart devices, the popularity of social media, and even generally the interference of the World Wide Web, we realize that we are no longer living in the simpler times that prevailed in the 1990s, when apparently the only possible gameplay and social life for students used to be to “go out and play.” Numerous distractions cross the minds of the youngsters these days, derived from the inevitable advancement of technology, causing the human potential to be challenged at a much deeper level than before. It has now become a struggle to make our kids adopt critical thinking and maintain focus on their studies, in order to build a proper foundation of knowledge for them before they step foot into the practical world.
