30、 keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them.

31、 I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own

32、 past scars and dashed hopes can surface.

The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided“ by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her f

34、irst music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks.

39、udents by means of email, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chart room, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning. There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online edu

40、cation is available all the time, anywhere and to all people. However, there are weaknesses for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints. This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding. While distance learning allows for an openness, it is

41、also difficult because it is done by email messages and writing, and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning. Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students. Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments. These are important for stu

46、the middle class. Efforts of the nutrition reformers in the 1890s to reach the poor urban factory workers had failed. And the message taught by Atwater and his followers during the 1890s, that of getting eating better by eating less, was far from being taken seriously by most Americans. But many mem

47、bers of the middle class were attracted by Atwaters teachings. With their new interest in and concerns for health and good eating habits, the middle class of Americans went through all sorts of food fads and heard many strange teachings during the early decades of the 20 century. This interest stemm

48、ed in part from various physical discomforts commonly experienced during this time by those individuals whose comfort enabled them to eat and drink too much.
