SCHOOL & WORK IN ABROD

I am in school to help myself and learn 

for when I grow up. I don’t want to see 

myself selling cabbage or borrowing 

money or other things. I don’t want to see 

my brothers suffering, especially Ronnie 

because he is the last born and a loving 

brother of my heart. I want him to live 

a happy life and I want him to know that 

he has a person who can take care of him.

I’m also learning to fill my promise that 

I promised myself that whatever happens 

I’ll work as hard as I can to help my 

family. I am also in school for the sake 

of other children. When I see children 

outside eating dirty roots, sleeping in 

dirty places, I usually feel pity for them 

but I have no choice but to only leave 

them there. Children usually suffer and 

that’s why I learn in school, to help them.

WHY AM  IN SCHOOL?

 

Why do we have FIVE days of work/school and only TWO days of time off?

I believe this is completely unfair. Five beats 2 by 3, that is a little TOO much. There's only 48 hours of time off, while there's 120 hours of sweat and peer pressure and things you don't want to do...6 hours everyday (for school, probably more time for work) for 5 days, and 6x5 is 30. 30 stinking hours of sweat and hard work. For the past 2 weeks, we've only had 3 days of school due to canceled days, and even that's a little too long, BUT, 3 days seems like the perfect amount of days for school and work, not 5. I mean, to me it's just so baffling how it's not a fair competition. 5 days of school, only 2 days of freedom-it's like freedom doesn't even have a chance!
Why is this like this, and how many days do you think we need of school/work and how many days for freedom, remember, we can't split it up equally....Unfortunately.
Thanks and have a great day, Blessings!

Well, school around the world seem to have lots of school days and only short breaks, except for summer vacation, where you get a few months off.

When you enter the work force, you can kiss that 'few months off' thing goodbye. Most employees in the United States only get around two weeks of paid vacation per year. Senior employees might get slightly more, and new hires, well, they are lucky if they get two weeks off a year.

Some European countries are quite different. I do not know what is behind the 'American way' of working employees to such extents. In some of the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark), well, employees *do* get around 8 weeks or 2 months of paid vacation per year in their work lives. It makes for happier, more relaxed, and more productive employees.

I think that the USA sort of fell into the 'capitalism trap'. Not that capitalism is a bad model (although it might be), but society took it so far. Now the thought-pattern that seems to be drummed so loudly is "You must WORK for what you want. You MUST devote your entire life to work so that you can purchase material items. Nothing else matters !"

All that mindset does is make the mega-corporations richer and richer ... while you, the worker, are working your a$$ off and never really have time to enjoy any of those lovely material items that the media has convinced you that you 'need'. ;)

Actually, nowadays, when you enter the workforce, you might find that you cannot even get 40 hours a week for a 'full-time' job. Corporations are starting to keep hours low (to increase their own profits). Of course, in your 32-hour work week, which probably will include you working 5 days a week anyway, you *will* be expected to do as much work as you would have had to do in the past in a 40-hour work week.

Best solution ?

Run for Congress, i.e. try to become a Senator or a House Representative.
Check out what they get:

- They only work about 140 days a year. (and short days at that).
- They make about $ 180,000 per year (and vote themselves a raise every year).
- They have a private health insurance program. (No 'Obamacare' for them, nu-uh).
- They have a private pension waiting for them.
- They are set for life. They are the 'power elite'. They are the 1%.

~~~~~~~~~~
Also, there's kind of a way to look at it mathematically. You say it is 'unfair' to have work or school 5 days a week. The problem with that argument is ... you're not at work or school for the entire day. :)

There are (7 x 24) = 168 hours per week

Yes, you attend school for say 6 hours a day, so that's 30 hours a week. I'll tack on 8 more hours for travel time to and from school.

So that's 38 hours = (38/168) = 22.6% of your week. (Not as much as you might have thought, huh?) Yes, I understand that you have to do homework, which adds some hours.

OK. Then you sleep for say 8 hours a day.
That's (8 x 7) = 56 hours of the week, or (56/168) = 33.3% of your week.

So, check it out ... how much 'free time' is left? even after school hours and sleeping?

100% - 22.6% - 33.3% = (100% - 55.9%) = 44.1%

Do you see? Even after all your school hours and stuff 5 days a week, and your 8 hours of sleep every night, you *still* have almost one-half of the total hours in a week to do whatever you want to do !!

Ideal Home

Do you know 
The home is not just a building. It is an atmosphere, a place you are always eager to be. A home is a place where a family lives. The first home on earth was a garden. This gives two impressions of a home: 1. A place to enjoy––beautiful, peaceful, welcoming. 2. A place to tend and make beautiful. The most important element of the home, however, is not the building (how large or how beautiful it is), but the relationship existing between the people within.

Health education

Health and Education

The wealth of knowledge acquired by an individual after studying particular subject matters or experiencing life lessons that provide an understanding of something. Education requires instruction of some sort from an individual or composed literature. The most common forms of education result from years of schooling that incorporates studies of a variety of subjects. "Jamie knew the importance of an education, so she chose to go to a four-year university after graduating from high school.

Health is

The word health means different things to different people, depending on the situation. If somebody says "I was worried about my husband's health when he climbed Mt. Everest", it is clear that the woman is referring to her husband's physical health, possibly his heart, skin (frostbite) and risk of developing hypothermia (when the body's temperature drops too low.

On the other hand, if you hear the phrase "With all these deadlines, presentations and working weekends, I wonder what the effect will be on her health," most likely the word "health" refers more to mental health than physical health (although the two are often linked).

The words "health" or "healthy" can also be used in non-medical contexts. For example "A healthy economy needs an ideal GDP growth rate that is sustainable, one that remains in the expansion phase of the business cycle as long as possible."

The English word "health" comes from the Old English word hale, meaning "wholeness, being whole, sound or well,". Hale comes from the Proto-Indo-European root kailo, meaning "whole, uninjured, of good omen". Kailo comes from the Proto-Germanic root khalbas, meaning "something divided".

Medilexicon's medical dictionary has three definitions for health, the first being "The state of the organism when it functions optimally without evidence of disease or abnormality" (click here to read the other two).

World Health Organization's (WHO's) definition of "health"

The most famous modern definition of health was created during a Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

The Definition has not been amended since 1948.

During the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion in 1986, the WHO said that health is:

"a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities."

WHAT IS HEALTH?

Health is metabolic efficiency. Sickness is metabolic inefficiency. Nobody is totally healthy or totally sick. Each of us is a unique combination of health and sickness. And each of us has a unique combination of abilities and disabilities, both emotional and physical.

As we grow up, we learn that we are loved for our abilities but hated for our disabilities. This happens at home, at play, at school, and at work. Sometimes, this even happens with our doctors, especially if our disabilities mystify them or remind them of their own disabilities.

So, we try to hide our disabilities from people and from ourselves. This charade undermines our relationships and our self-esteem. We learn to fear society and hate ourselves.

Self-hatred is the most debilitating sickness. It interferes with our ability to seek and accept help. And everybody needs help. How do we free ourselves from self-hatred?

First, we reclaim our disabilities, whether society accepts them or not. This means that we learn to accept ourselves. Then, we cope with our disabilities. This means that we learn to take care of ourselves.

 Education is“Education” is a broad term that can have many meanings, but it is generally defined as the process of learning and acquiring information. Formal learning in a school or university is one of the most common types, though self-teaching and so-called “life experiences” can also qualify. Communities around the world place a high value on educating people of all ages, whether formally or informally. It is widely believed that constant exposure to new ideas and skills makes people better workers, thinkers, and societal contributors.

Formal Schooling

Most people associate education with schools and classrooms where trained teachers present information to students. Classroom learning generally starts when a child is relatively young — around age five in most countries — and continues until the teenage years. The purpose of most classroom learning is not to prepare a child for a specific job, but rather to help him or her develop critical reasoning and thinking skills. Reading, writing, and math are very common lessons for young learners. As students progress in their schooling, they often come into contact with more challenging subjects like written composition, history, and advanced sciences.
