Education is the key to a successful and happier future. A good children educational program helps you in this task. A children educational program also gives the following benefits to your children:

Makes education easier

Most of the children educational programs deal with topics that are also taught in classrooms. So your children use the educational programs at home, they can get additional practice of subjects which they learn in the classrooms. This helps your children learn better.

Helps children practice at home

Once you buy a particular children educational program, it will be available to your children 24 hours a day. Your children can repeatedly use it whenever they get the time or whenever they get in the “mood” to use it. Thus your children will get a lot of practice.

Includes exercises and games to develop important skills

All good children educational programs include well-planned exercises to help your children learn and improve a particular skill or ability. Some educational programs also include game-like or story-like exercises to help children learn better. These educational programs are highly suited for younger children below the age of 12.

Helps to improve those weak areas

Children educational programs are especially useful if your kids have problems in a particular area of study. Many such subject-specific educational programs are available on the Internet to help children improve.

Increases interest in studies

A good children educational program also helps your children become more interested in studies, because it helps to make learning fun and motivate (激发) them through good examples, stories and games.

So spending a few dollars on a right children educational program will not cause any loss to you. It will only make education easier and more interesting for your children.

Do You Go To Sleep In Class?

The “Acronym”, our student newspaper, reports that most students go to sleep at 1: 30 a. m. Even if that’s an exaggeration(夸张), it’s too close to the truth. Scientists say teenagers should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard to do.

Some even “pull all-nighters”. These are lazy students who have homework due to(到期) the next day that they haven’t done. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who has been doing it.

One of my classmates did a survey(调查) on the problem. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!

Maybe our lack of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools.

I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1: 30 a. m., I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a.m. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m slightly tired and sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally wide-awake. But by 3: 00 p. m., I’m slowing down again.

Most American high schools seem to have such a problem.

High school classes start at 7: 30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can do harm to both grades and health.

Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 a. m.
