One subject in school that requires quite a bit of learning is History. It has been said to be one of the hardest subjects in school. The reason being that history has so many dates and events that it can be very overwhelming at times. So it can be understandable that your child will need to have help in this subject. But the tutor does not have to be someone you hired, it can be you. All history is, is learning the dates and the events that go with the dates. Unlike Math there is no figuring out anything and in English, there is no proper usage of anything. It is strictly remembering dates and events.
There is a great way to help tutor your child. Find out what section they are on, if they are studying World War II then read the section in the book that they are studying and then make flash cards. Write the date on one side and the event on the other. This way you can test your child both ways, they can learn the dates first and then the events or you can call out an event and they can give you the date.
It really can be fun learning about history. Every year something new happens and if you took a look at your textbook when you were a student and your ’s, there are probably hundreds of extra pages. That is a blessing and a curse, a blessing that your child can see everything that has happened in old history and in current history but it just means more to learn for your child.
You can make fun games out of tutoring your child. You can play the memory game . You can have your child match the dates with the events. Sometimes your child just needs someone to quiz them, learning the material yourself is great and they should learn to do that but maybe once a week you can sit with them and see where they are having any trouble and then helping them out.
You can call the teacher and see where your child is having the trouble and see if you can offer your child a more specific spot to tutor them. They may have the facts straight but cannot remember dates on the Civil War, this way you don’t have to confuse them by teaching them the stuff they already have confidence in knowing. Try to sick with the problem areas.
Don’t go behind your child’s back and ask the teacher how they are doing unless your child needs help. Have a look at their homework and tests and seeing they are in need of help. Remember, you already went to school so they need to learn the material not you. You can only help so much but your child needs to learn the material, they are the ones that are taking the test.

This is a short, but favorable, presentation discussing Frank Capra’s World War II propaganda series entitled “Why We Fight.” This series of films was funded by the United States government and used to condition the American military and public to accept the war.
The majority of Americans wanted no part of another European conflict. Behind the scenes though the Roosevelt administration was steering the country towards war.

Twenty-five decades ago, the most instrumental book on warfare was written. The author, Sun Tzu successfully conquered his enemies for decades using the tactics and principles he described in his book, The Art of War. Napoleon waged war on all of Europe only to be defeated when he strayed from the book?s principles, and even General Schwarzkopf seemed to find much of his basic strategy for the first Gulf War in the guide.
The Art of War
The book, penned by a general with tremendous knowledge and success is combat, is powerful and has proven itself many times over. What the Art of War is lacking, however, is the sort of morality and ethics we might look for in a general today. According to Sun Zu, the self-interest of the king and kingdom were most important and treachery and deceit were only two additional weapons to be used in the course of war as necessary.
When examined on this level, it would be easy to dismiss the book as a sound basis for legal practice today. After all, lawyers have a bad enough reputation without openly embracing deceit and treachery. But digging deeper into the book reveals that winning at all costs is not the message Sun Tzu was making. Indeed, according to the ancient general, ?”[T]he true object of war is peace.”
Rapid Resolutions
He goes on to explain that when engaged in the battle, the goal of the general and army is to end the fray as quickly as possible. “In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidly bringing it to a close.?
This rationale flies in the face of most legal proceedings today. Many lawyers drag battles on in the court room hoping to gain ground against the opposition. The longer the battle wages, however, the more harm comes to all parties. The goal of a battle is not to win at all costs; it is to win as quickly as possible in order to restore peace.
Modern Mediation
The practice of mediation is much like Sun Tzu?s version of battle. Sun Tzu emphasized preparing for battle by trying to avoid it. “To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy?s resistance without fighting.”
He also observes, “To begin by bluster, but afterward to take fright at the enemy?s numbers, shows a supreme lack of intelligence.”
In courthouses across America, lawyers are blustering on client?s behalf trying for the win, even against all odds. But as Tzu observes, when faced with an unconquerable enemy, success may entail minimizing your losses.
In employment mediation there is not a battle to the death. There is only the struggle between two parties to resolve the conflict quickly to reduce all costs both financial and emotional in pursuit of the final goal ? restored peace.
