Alternative school

Over the last few decades, homeschooling has become a feasible alternative to public and private school education. The homeschool movement began in the early 1970’s and has shown to be effective for many students and parents.

Fortunately, since homeschooling has gained acceptance, the requirements for homeschooling have become less rigorous and homeschooling is now recognized as a legitimate approach to educating students. Although there are several problems and disadvantages of homeschooling compared to traditional schooling, there are also advantages of…

The alternative school was for students who had been in trouble or for girls who were pregnant and needed to finish school a little sooner or at their own pace.

I had move between North Carolina and Texas in high school and did not have enough…

Without the CPT chase, the decrease in UPH would not exist and therefore we would be able to pack out more items, making more money. However for each item that misses a CPT, it costs, on average, $2.85 to upgrade the shipment. Because of this I performed two analyses to see the impact of our CPT Chase.
