PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

“The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner tutors both my 7th grade son and my 3rd grade daughter. Their skills have rocketed leaps and bounds under his patient and careful tutelage. My daughter was behind in her math skills for 3rd grade at the beginning of the year and I just came from her school conference where her teacher told me her math skills have quadrupled since the beginning of the year. We owe it all to Y3K services! Both of my children have benefited greatly from Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s tutoring. Highly recommend!!”

Controversial Student Athlete Standards – Natick MA

By

Some schools around the country have been raising the sports eligibility standards. For example the Natick Public Schools in Natick, MA have raised the academic standards for its athletes. They decided to send a message to student athletes that academics come first. If a student doesn’t pass all of their classes, they lose eligibility. As a result of the increased academic demands, 43 students out of more than 500 were deemed ineligible due to failing a class or receiving an incomplete. Previously Natick averaged 6 to 9 academically ineligible students per term. The intended result is to put the emphasis on having their education be their first priority.

Students who are removed from teams have to meet with coaches, guidance counselor, and parents to come up with an improvement plan. These students are then ineligible for the remainder of the term as well as the following term.

What do you think of these new rules?

Concussions are caused by a bump to the head. Even a mild bump to the head can be serious. Signs of concussions can show up right after the injury or may not appear until days or weeks later. If your child reports the symptoms of a concussion, seek medical attention right away.

The following are concussion signs you should look for if your child suffers a blow to the head during a sports activity:

Appears dazed or stunned

Is confused about their assignment or position

Forgets an instruction

Is unaware of the game, score, or opponent

Moves clumsily

Answers questions slowly

Loses consciousness (even briefly)

Shows behavior or personality changes

Can not recall events prior to the bump

Can not recall events after the bump
