Best Medical Schools in World

Going to medical school is not an easy job. On your behalf, it requires a serious commitment and an involvement on all levels of the person, intellectual,financial and emotional. What is cost of medical education, the cost of obtaining a medical degree can be $300,000 at the most including living expenses. In fact, the average medical graduate accumulates as much as $100,000 in debt.

Medical school ranking is very important aspect for medical and health related students. In World, there are lot of medical schools which are known for world-class facilities, top-notch faculty and numerous research publications. However, there is no medical school, famous or not, who has a monopoly on providing an unbeatable medical education. Basically medical school ranking is separated into two lists.

1- best medical schools in terms of research 2-best medical school in terms of primary care

In Research category we have schools which show capacity to invest in and produce medical knowledge while primary care refers to the training of medical students regarding precisely that treating and caring of patient and primary care.

Before actually sharing the list of medical schools here it is important to mention that it is possible that some excellent medical schools may be missing in this list. You should keep in mind that it's a matter of ranking and what characteristics are used to make it. It does not mean that if a school is ranked low in this medical schools list, the doctors coming from these schools are not good and qualified.

Here are the lists of best medical schools in World and United States, for research and primary care separately.

She expected that the performance will be better next year, in February.

Cher Wang is my participation in this year's "Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)" Business Advisory Committee meeting (ABAC) is one of three business representatives, 12, she attended Friends Alibaba CEO Jack Ma's speech, talking about HTC of electricity. She and Ma late this year in Asia because the United States Barack Obama lines had no chance of a dialogue with Obama at the same table.

They had been scheduled for Saturday afternoon, a dialogue with Obama at the same table, because Barack Obama in the United States, Texas, to attend memorial service for victims of shootings, postponed Asian trip, his plane to go to Saturday night to arrive in Singapore, according to understand that the United States trade representative, is likely to reassign Koch (Ron Kirk) on behalf of Obama, and the ABAC dialogue with business leaders.

Cher Wang said that the smart phone is a new product, thanks to fast-growing market, thanks to this year, almost not subject to the international financial tsunami. Earlier, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to come to Taiwan, both sides have a number of cooperation and exchange, the recent HTC there will be some new products come out one after another, it is estimated to grow in February next year, the performance will be better.

Cher Wang this week, almost all in Singapore to attend ABAC and APEC-related activities, these days a lot of VIA core cadres were also gathered in Singapore to discuss the company at any time with her big, such as VIA Technologies Group, China, in particular from the executive long-Xu Tao Beijing arrived in Singapore.

Since the second quarter of next year's ABAC forum will move to Taipei, Cher Wang also urged Ma must not forget to go to Taiwan, but also to bring Lili.

Some of Atlanta's BEST schools and the FINEST public schools are in Lilburn and Snellville

Most families give serious consideration to the quality of the local schools before they purchase or rent a new home. If you get a great price on a home that you love, but the schools are less than superior, many concerned parents are going to find themselves spending more for private schools than they paid for the home. It is a very important consideration, especially when Atlanta's finest public schools may serve one side of the street, but the kids across the street might be going to a "war zone" school.

Suburban schools like in Snellville and Lilburn, are generally expected to offer a safer environment and many, especially Gwinett County can be expected to offer above average education. This is born out by the fact that Gwinnett County was recently awarded $250,000 in a National competetion as one of five finalists for the Nation's most improved Urban School District. (September 2009) Gwinnett County is the largest school district in the state of Georgia and is frequently presented similar awards for excellence.

Brookwood High School, located in Snellville, serves much of the more recently developed, fabulous subdivisions of Gwinnett County and is considered by many to be the finest public high school in the Atlanta Metro area. Besides having a Championship football program, Brookwood is ranked as superior in their overall extra cirricular activities programs. But more important, in today's competetive education environment is Brookwood's Scholastic Accomplishment. In 2007, the last year available Brookwood's CRCT scores place them at 97.9% proficiency in Reading and English Language Arts skills. And in the ever important area of Mathematics, Brookwood students show a Proficiency level of 94.9%. These are astouding levels of accomplishment and could be attributed in part, to the desireable student to teacher ratio of only 18.5. Truely, this is one of the finest public schools in the Atlanta metro area.

One of the finest elementary schools in the Metro area is R.D.Head Elementary on Hewatt Road in Lilburn. Serving PreK-5, Head has a student to teacher ratio of only 16.8 so you are assured of personal attention to your child's needs. That is obvious from the CRCT scores for Head Elementary. Math Proficiency tested at 97% and for Reading and English Language Arts tested at 96.7%. Unheard ofin most areas.

Five Forks Middle School, serving that particularly troublesome age group in the 6-8 grades boasts Proficiency scores of 94.6% in Reading and ELA and 87.8% for Math. Here the student to teacher ratio is also low at 17.3.

Tucked right behind the R.D.Head Elementry school is a truely unique community named Rivermist Sub Division . This highly desireable community was first developed in the mid 1980's and continues to grow even today. Homes range from the $200,000 range up to about $400,000. The rolling development of winding steets and unique and varied architecture includes a small fishing lake, club house, lovely community swimming pool and several lighted tennis courts. Also, the Yellow River meanders through the neighborhood and is complete with several hiking trails along the river. Another unique feature about the sub division that appeals to me is that there is only one street that allows ingress and egress which makes it very in hospitable to criminals and vandals. Indeed a very desireable community seved by the best collection of Public Schools you will find anywhere. Did I forget to mention that all three schools highlighted in this article serve this community??

Do You REALLY Want to Help End Poverty for the U.S. and English-speaking Nations?

We often see articles in newspapers or magazines about the shocking extent of poverty in America or some other English-speaking nation. But how often do the articles examine the cause of the poverty? I cannot remember ever seeing such an article. Many persons of influence -- celebrities, educators, and politicians -- bemoan the extent of poverty. Many of them want to help. Some of them actually do help, but the help is almost always something involving providing money or physical items to temporarily relieve the symptoms -- the pain and suffering brought on by poverty. It is almost never something which will enable those in poverty to permanently escape their poverty. It is like the saying, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Using this analogy, in order to teach a man to fish (i.e. escape poverty through his own actions), you have to understand what is causing him to be in poverty. Otherwise, any help you provide will merely fight the symptoms of the problem rather than solving the problem. It is like giving someone aspirin to relieve the pain of pneumonia rather than antibiotics to end the pneumonia.

The most statistically accurate and thorough study of English functional illiteracy ever commissioned by the U.S. government was a five-year, $14 million study involving lengthy interviews of 26,049 U.S. adults. The interviewees were statistically balanced for age, gender, ethnicity, and location (urban, suburban, or rural in a dozen states and several prisons across the U.S.) to represent the entire U.S. population. This study, titled Adult Literacy in America, proves that 48.7% of U.S. adults (over 93 million of them) are functionally illiterate (i.e. they read and write so poorly that they cannot hold an above-poverty-level-wage job) and proves they are more than twice as likely to be in poverty because of functional illiteracy as for all other reasons combined.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports a much higher literacy rate, but if you see how the literacy rate that they report was obtained, you will undoubtedly agree with Jonathan Kozol (who describes the literacy rate determination process in his shocking book Illiterate America) that the reported figure vastly overestimates the literacy rate -- and the Adult Literacy in America report proves it. Although there is no evidence of deliberate falsification of the literacy rate, it is in the short term best interest of educators and politicians to believe the rosy reports of our literacy rate.

Believing that we are much more literate than we actually are, however, alleviates any necessity of the drastic action needed to solve the problem. Instead we just continue to treat the symptoms of pain and suffering to the illiterates and continue the high cost to every U.S. adult -- reader and non-reader alike. Functional illiteracy costs every adult -- reader and non-reader alike -- an average of $5186 each year for (1) government programs that illiterates use, (2) for truancy, juvenile delinquency, and crime directly related to illiteracy, and (3) the higher cost of consumer goods as a result of functional illiterates in the workplace. The higher cost of consumer goods results from (1) higher costs for recruiting and training employees, (2) the cost of preventing and correcting errors made by illiterate workers, and (3) the reduction in sales of reading materials, higher education courses, and more expensive and luxury items.

A study of the changes made in the method used to teach reading and the results achieved by these changes prove that there have not been any statistically significant improvements in the last eighty years or more. Most of the changes made have come as a result of the 1983 "Nation At Risk" report stating that if a foreign nation had imposed upon us our 1983 education system, we would have considered it an act of war.

Most American school children of normal intelligence require a minimum of two years to learn to read. Dr. Frank Laubach, who taught adults to read in over 313 alphabetic languages (and even invented spelling systems for scores of language groups who had no written language) found that in 98% of the languages in which he taught, he could teach them to read and write fluently in less than three months. In some of the simplest languages, such as one or more dialects of the Philippine language, he found that they could learn to read in one hour! Dr. Laubach stated on page 48 of his book, Forty Years With the Silent Billion, "If we spelled English phonetically, American children could be taught to read in a week." As far as grammar and syntax are concerned, English is neither the easiest nor the most difficult. One week may be somewhat optimistic, but the grammar and syntax of English is easier than many European languages, all of whose speakers learn to read in less than three months.

There are more than 1.3 billion English-speaking people around the world, more than speak any language dialect other Mandarin Chinese. The vast majority of Mandarin Chinese speakers live in China. English is used more than any other language to speak to someone who does not understand the speaker's native dialect. It is estimated that 600 million of the English-speaking people worldwide (including over 93 million in the U.S. alone) are functionally illiterate.

People who are honest in evaluating the serious physical, mental, emotional, medical, and financial problems of illiterates and the extent of English functional illiteracy of English-speaking people will have to admit that the many half-measures we have been using for the last eighty years are only fighting the symptoms of the problem, not solving the problem. If we had to endure the problems that functional illiterates must constantly live with, we would consider our problems a crisis.

Literacy Research Associates, Inc. and NuEnglish, Inc., two non-profit educational corporations, have researched and perfected a system that Dr. Laubach (now deceased) would undoubtedly advocate to solve our literacy problems -- the only proven solution known to be available. It has been proven in over 300 alphabetic languages, but never tried in English.

Benefits of shadow classes for students in elementary through high school

Whether your child is in elementary, middle school or high school, he or she may require private tutoring lessons in class subjects such as math, reading and writing -- especially if they are enrolled in AP classes. However, many schools do not offer adequate tutoring services tailored to your child's specific needs. When appropriate, shadow classes at a professional child education franchise can offer just the right support your child needs to excel in their academic career.

Shadow classes are small group tutoring sessions that help students keep up and/or get ahead in school. These private classes offer students reinforcement of basic skills and study practices, while also directly supporting their in-school progress. During shadow classes, instructors work hand-in-hand with a student's classroom teacher and use the same course materials, syllabi, textbooks, etc.

Shadow classes are extremely beneficial for students because instructors have the patience and experience to teach the curriculum and explain complicated topics. In addition to helping students understand challenging topics, shadow classes can help prepare them for tests and quizzes. Whether students need AP test help or homework help, a private tutor can mentor them during each stage of the learning process. Another benefit to shadow classes is the constant monitoring.

Instructors monitor each student's progress and adapt the curricula to their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, instructors can recommend other beneficial tutoring services to help students throughout their academic careers, such as AP classes, college entrance exam preparation, and enrichment activities.

Whether your child requires a personal math tutor for algebra or geometry, a specialty-designed shadow class can mean the difference between a failing and passing grade.
