Why is School Important?





BackStory with the American History Guys


So I hope you read my blogs about Naga City? Some may remember;
The words "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" - while by no means an official creed or motto of the United States Postal Service - have long been associated with the American postman.

One day I asked my sweetheart why these kids are not in school? Oh, it's raining? What?  Gee, I thought going to school was important?

Wow, each minute I have here in the Philippines is precious, how vital is Weebew Club?

I started with every kid I saw "What's Up" What's Up" Weebew  Club
Wow, that same day they came to find out about this Weebew Club?


Over the years I developed my teaching style "The class clown style."
Each week during football season at Pasadena Fundamental 5th grade, I opened the class with a moment of silence for the Florida Gators? That season the Gators were losing every game, and my precious Florida Seminoles were winning.  The Gator fans would moan and groan, but they loved it.

What I was learning was make learning fun, challenge them, be firm, and positive, every week when I showed up they cheered. When you read some of the comments, you get it why create Weebew Club. "Why changing the world one child at a time matters. "

Is learning social skills difficult, and does it take a long time? What are the most appropriate steps to learn to communicate? Does critical thinking have a role in social communication?

Question from Quora Interesting question, I am not sure critical thinking is essential in the role of an excellent social communicator? Let's turn that around and agree to be an extraordinary social communicator, you should be good at public speaking. Interestingly some I believe are born with that talent, or learn excellent social communication from a mentor, parent or possibly a nanny a very young age. My recommendation is to search out a Toastmasters club, Toastmasters International -Home ( Toastmasters International -Home ) is found in around 140 countries. Find a club that meets weekly, to improve public speaking and social communication skills, you need commitment and practice as often as possible. Create a FREE listing at www.weebewclub.com

David against Goliath!

History always tells a story; this story not unlike the tale of David and Goliath is the story of how Goliath has control! PLDT/Smart in the Naga City area of the Philippines as well in simple terms is the saddest excuse for an internet company. This personal war is a service I pay for! Each time I take my time to go to either PLDT or Smart at the SM mall , I am promised my lack of signal will be attended too; but this never happens! Now nine times I have in person complained, spending over 15  hours of my time, for nothing! Personally, I came to Naga City, to marry the beautiful Rowena, and I did see video thi blog. Second on my list to teach English, spelling, sentence structure and public speaking to children. This I have done. Third I am trying to create a public speaking school; for adults?  In these blogs, you may read about it all. But! The because of the lack of any constant flow of quality internet, my goals are severely quashed, like a giant sitting on me! When yo
