Our hearts are so full that we must celebrate.” His dedication to expressing his discoveries was expressed through his writings, education career, movements he sparked, societies, and even during his retirement. Bailey was a very accomplished…

high school, I have excelled in my science courses and enjoyed doing so. They always made me think harder and encouraged me to dive deeper into the information. I really believe I could make a lifestyle out of learning the sciences and one day have a career based upon this information. That is why I have chosen Biological Sciences as my major. The summer following my junior year, I was given the opportunity to attend an organization called Camp Neuro. The camp was a week long, held at the…

Some educators have seen the light. Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) has started an initiative to add Art education to STEM, thereby making STEAM. Some schools say the A is for Agriculture, but the trend is towards Art in STEM education. On the other hand, STEM, with or without liberal arts integrated, is not all that it’s cracked up to be. There are so many things that make a liberal arts education more important and beneficial than a STEM education. For example, liberal arts aren’t…

When the 20th century started, life started to change and improve, and public education was one of the many things that started to improve and become popular. Education was almost null and void before the start of the century. Since jobs did not require any amount of education, there were no real need for schools.

This stress is even more prominent in families of low income or single parent families. For example, statistically it has been shown that around 40% of all first time marriages will end in divorce. In a majority of divorce cases…

Although many may view that those who do not have children as having regrets and being unhappy, however that is simply not the case. A report from Princeton University and Stony…
