Transporting Daycare Kids
I know there are many types of agreements between parents and providers when it comes to having children in the provider’s vehicle. There are parents who want it for their kids and many who pay providers to transport their child to and from school and preschool. Some providers transport their own children to school and have field trips as a major selling point of their business…….

Tips for Protecting Children from Environmental Threats
United States of America | it’s.
.. What is the United States of America?
The American nation is a relatively young multi-ethnic formation that has developed in the process of long-term cultural, economic, social and domestic interaction, as well as mixing with each other and assimilation of the descendants of people of different ethnic origin, representing all three main races of mankind – Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid .
– White – 75.1% (211,460,626), Black or African American – 12.3% (34,658.190),
Note: Spaniards is not included in the list because the US Census Bureau assumes Hispanic to be a person of Hispanic origin (including Cubans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans) living in the states and who can be of any race or ethnic group (white , Negro, Asian, etc.)
Religion in the USA
United States of America (USA, USA) is
The First Amendment to the Fundamental Law of the State of the USA, adopted on December 15, 1791, proclaims the separation of the church from the state, which the fathers – the founders understood it as a ban on the establishment of a state religion, similar to what took place in Great Britain.
According to a 2002 Pew Global Attitudes Project survey, the United States is the only developed country where a majority of the population said religion plays a “very important role” in their lives.
The American government does not keep official statistics on religion. According to the CIA World Book of Facts for 2007, 51.3% of the US population consider themselves Protestants, 23.9% – Catholics, 12.1% do not belong to any denomination, 1.7% – Mormons, 1.6% – members of another Christian denomination, 1.7% – Jews, 0.7% – Buddhists, 0.6% – Muslims, 2.5% – other or not specified, 4% – atheists.
The most common denomination in the US is the Roman Catholic Church, the second largest is the Southern Baptist Convention.
There is an autocephalous local Orthodox Church in the USA – the Orthodox Church in America, which received autocephaly from the Russian Orthodox Church in 1970. In addition, there are a number of Orthodox church structures of other jurisdictions, the largest of which is the Greek Archdiocese of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
US languages
In March 2005, the English Language Foundation (the most influential non-governmental firm involved in government language policy) published the report “Many Languages, One America”, based on data from a study of the languages that the US population uses in everyday settings (at home, on work, on the street).According to this report, the most common native language in the United States is English. It is spoken as a native language by 215.4 million people out of 293 million Americans (73.5%). Spanish is native to 28 million US residents (10.7%). Russian language ranks 10th in terms of the number of speakers in the US – over 700 thousand (0.24%). The largest number of Russian speakers live in the state of New York (218,765 people, or 30.98% of all native speakers of the Russian language), the least – in the state of Wyoming (170 people, or 0.02%). The top ten states where Russian is spoken also include California, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida, Maryland and Oregon.
In terms of prevalence, the Russian language in the United States is inferior to French (1,606,790), Chinese (1,499,635), German (1,382,615), Turkish (about 1,172,615), Tagalog (1,224,240), Vietnamese (1,009,625), Italian (1,008,370) and Korean (894065). Northern California is home to a large number of immigrants from Siberia and the Far East.
The highest proportion of Russian speakers is in Alaska – about 3% understand Russian to some extent, and about 8.5% of the inhabitants profess Orthodoxy. This is a consequence of the former belonging of the territory of the state of the Russian Federation.
In the State of Hawaii, English and Hawaiian are both official languages.] Some island territories also grant official recognition to indigenous languages, along with English: Samoan and Chamorro are recognized in Samoa and Guam, respectively; Caroline and Chamorro are recognized in the Northern Mariana Islands; Spanish is the official language of Puerto Rico. The state of New Mexico has a law that ensures the use of English and Spanish, in the state of Louisiana – English and French (while none of the languages \u200b\u200bis named official).
U.S. names in main languages:
English: United States of America
Spanish: Estados Unidos de América
French: états-Unis d’Amérique 9000 5
Hawaiian: ‘Amelika Hui Pū ‘ia
US Education System
The US education system is administered and funded by both federal, state and local governments. The public school system is ubiquitous, but decentralized and far from ideal. Mainly private universities, on the other hand, attract undergraduate and graduate students from all over the world.
[Character picture – 9.1]
The US literacy rate is 97%, but according to the 2003 census, only 84.6% of people 25 and older had a high school education. 52.5% had some sort of higher education, and 27.3% had a bachelor’s degree. The main language of education is English everywhere except Puerto Rico, where the official language is Spanish.
For historical reasons (education is not mentioned in the Basic Law of the country, which implies that it should be run by the states), there are no strict federal standards for educational institutions in the United States.
Universities are accredited by private firms run by groups of states, and each state has its own laws to deal with unaccredited “universities” that issue a degree for a fee, making such institutions a significant problem.
At the age of 5, American children go to elementary school, to kindergarten (kindergarten), although kindergarten in German is literally “kindergarten”, kindergartens exist separately in the USA and are called preschool (pre-school ). This null class is optional. About 60% of young Americans visit it. Elementary school continues through fifth or sixth grade (depending on the school district), after which the student moves on to middle school, ending in eighth grade. Senior high school is grades ninth through twelfth, so Americans typically graduate from high school at age 18.
Those with a secondary education can go to community colleges, which award a two-year associate’s degree, or to colleges or universities, where they earn a bachelor’s degree, usually in four years.
Those with a bachelor’s degree can study further to earn a master’s degree (2-3 years) or a PhD (3 years or more). Separately accredited faculties and universities issue the degrees of doctor of medicine and doctor of law, for which special training is also required at the bachelor’s level.
Free public schools are run primarily by democratically elected school boards, each of which has jurisdiction over a school district, whose boundaries often coincide with county or city boundaries, and which contain one or more schools at each level. School boards set school programs, hire teachers, and fund 90,003 programs. States regulate education within their borders by setting standards and examining students. State funding for 90,068 schools is often determined by how much their students’ performance on exams has improved.
The United States of America (USA, USA) is
money for schools is taken mainly from local (cities and counties) real estate taxes , so the quality of schools is highly dependent on house prices and on how much taxes parents are willing to pay for good schools.
Often this leads to a vicious circle. In districts where schools have earned a good reputation, parents flock to give their children a good education. Home prices are rising and the combination of money and dedicated parents is taking schools to an even higher level. The opposite occurs at the other end of the spectrum, in the poor areas of what are called “inner cities.” Some large school districts establish “magnet schools” for particularly talented children living in their jurisdiction. Sometimes there are several such schools in the same district, divided by specialty: a technical school, a school for children who have shown talent in the arts, etc. Approximately 85% of children study in public schools. Most of the rest go to paid private schools, many of which are religious. The most widespread network of Catholic schools, which was initiated by Irish immigrants in the second half of the XIX century. Other private schools, often very expensive and sometimes with large admission auctions, exist to prepare students for admission to prestigious universities.
There are even boarding schools that draw students from all over the country, such as Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. Less than 5% of parents choose to homeschool their children for various reasons. Some religious conservatives do not want their children to be taught ideas they disagree with, most commonly the theory of evolution. Others believe that schools cannot meet the needs of their underachieving or, conversely, brilliant children. Still others want to protect children from drugs and crime, which are a problem in some schools. In many places, parents who teach their children at home form groups in which they help each other, and sometimes even different parents teach children different subjects. Many also supplement their lessons with distance learning programs and classes at local colleges. However, critics of homeschooling argue that homeschooling is often substandard and that children raised in this way do not acquire normal social skills.
Primary schools (elementary schools, grade schools, or grammar schools) usually teach children from the age of five to eleven or twelve.
One teacher teaches all subjects except visual arts, music, and physical education, which take place once or twice a week. Of the academic subjects taught, as a rule, arithmetic (occasionally – elementary algebra), reading and writing, with an emphasis on spelling and increasing vocabulary. The natural and social sciences are taught little and not varied. Often the social sciences take the form of local history.
Often in elementary school education consists of art projects, field trips, and other forms of learning through fun. It came from the current of progressive education in the early 20th century, which taught that students should learn through work and everyday activities and study their consequences.
Middle schools (middle schools, junior high schools, or intermediate schools) typically teach children between the ages of eleven or twelve and fourteen, from sixth or seventh through eighth grade. Recently, the sixth grade has been increasingly included in secondary school.
Usually in secondary school, unlike in elementary school, one teacher teaches one subject. Students are required to take classes in math, English, science, social studies (often including world history), and physical education. Students choose one or two classes themselves, usually in foreign languages, arts and technology.
In the secondary school, the division of students into ordinary and advanced courses also begins. Students who perform better than others in a given subject can study in an advanced (“honor”) class, where material is covered faster and more homework is given. Recently, such classes, especially in the humanities, have been abolished in some places: critics believe that isolating high-performing students does not allow low-performing students to catch up.
High school (high school) – the last stage of secondary education in the United States, lasting from the ninth to the twelfth grade. In higher education, students can choose their classes more freely than before, and only have to meet the minimum criteria for graduation, which are set by the school board.
Typical minimum requirements are:
– 3 years of science (a year of chemistry, a year of biology and a year of physics)
– 3 years of mathematics, up to the second year of algebra (mathematics in secondary and high schools is usually divided into the first year of algebra, geometry , Algebra Second Year, Introduction to Analysis and Calculus, in that order)
– 4 years of Literature
– 2-4 years of social studies, usually including US history and government
– 1-2 years of physical education 4 years of foreign language.
The rest of the classes must be chosen by the students themselves. The set of such classes is very different in quantity and quality, depending on the financial situation of the school and the inclinations of the students. A typical set of optional classes is:
– Additional sciences (statistics, computer science, environmental science)
– Foreign languages (most often Spanish, French and German; less often Japanese, Chinese, Latin and Greek)
– Fine arts (painting, sculpture, photography, cinema)
– Game arts (theater, orchestra, dance)
– Computer technology (computer use, computer graphics, web design)
– Publishing (journalism, yearbook editing)
– Labor (woodworking, car repair)
In some cases, the student may not study at all during one of the study hours.
In higher education, especially in the last two years, a new type of advanced class appears. Students can take classes that should prepare them for the Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exams. Most universities read out a good mark on these exams as an initial course in the relevant subject.
Grades, both at school and in universities, are issued according to the A/B/C/D/F system, where A is the best mark, F is unsatisfactory, and D can be considered pass or fail, depending on the circumstances. All marks except F can be prefixed with + or -. Some schools do not have A+ and D- grades. From these marks, a grade point average (GPA) is calculated, in which A counts as 4, B counts as 3, and so on. High school grades often go up one point, meaning A counts as a 5, and so on.
Despite many problems in the field of secondary education, higher education in the United States is considered one of the best in the world. There are more than 3,000 institutions of higher education of various types in the United States.
In 2001, they had 515,000 international students out of a total of 17.5 million, of which 60% were from Asia. Recently, however, education in universities, both private and public, is becoming more and more expensive. Fee per year – from $5,000 at a public university to $40,000 90,003 at Harvard, and while generous scholarships are given to poor students, they are often insufficient for middle-class students whose families lose proportionately the most of their income. From 2002-2003 to 2003-2004 academic year, tuition fees in public universities increased by 14%, and in private universities by 6%, which is still more than the inflation rate for the same time.
In American colloquial speech, all colleges are usually called colleges, even if they are not colleges, but universities.
US universities can be divided into three types, representatives of which are usually very different from each other, mainly in size and atmosphere.
One of the main distinguishing features is the presence or absence of research programs and graduate programs, which distinguishes a college from a university.
A college is an institution of higher education that is mainly engaged in student education, and scientific work, if any, remains in the background. The vast majority of four-year colleges are small (less than 2,000 students) and private, although in recent years public colleges have begun to appear, created for the talented students of the state. Many small colleges are religious and are sometimes referred to as bible colleges. Other colleges are often referred to as “colleges of liberal arts” to distinguish them from “colleges” – that is, universities – in general, as they often have a liberal arts bias. The best liberal arts colleges, such as Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore, are comparable in prestige to Ivy League universities, although, being much smaller, they are less well-known and often of better quality.
Universities are divided mainly into private universities and state universities (partially funded by individual state governments). State universities are often very large, and usually somewhat inferior in prestige to private ones.
Their main purpose is to educate students from their own state, and so for out-of-state students and auction and tuition fees are usually higher. At many public universities, teaching suffers from large classes, little attention from faculty to students, and bureaucracy. However, students, even from other states and countries, flock to top public universities such as UC Berkeley, the University of Michigan, and the University of Virginia.
Private universities include some of America’s best-known universities, such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, and Caltech. Most of them are medium in size, although there are very small ones (for example, Caltech) and very large ones (University of Southern California).
Community colleges are required by law to provide education to anyone in the locality in which they are located, but applying to American four-year colleges is often a lengthy and complicated process . The application for admission is a lengthy application on which the applicant is required to write not only their grades in school and on standardized exams, but also their interests, achievements and awards outside the school curriculum, as well as one or more essays on given topics.
In addition, the student is required to submit recommendations from teachers and, in some universities, to undergo an interview with a volunteer graduate.
Because standards vary greatly from school to school, grades say relatively little about student readiness. Therefore, they are supplemented by the results of standard examinations. Typically, students must take one of two general exams, the SAT or ACT, and in some cases, one or more SAT II exams that test knowledge in specific subjects.
Many large universities judge applicants almost exclusively on grades and exam results. However, smaller institutions often look to applicants for extra-curricular achievements—in sports, the arts, community service—and accept those who have shown particular initiative and who they believe will add color and variety to university life. This does not only consider level, but also the field of achievement: an athlete playing a sport that lacks participants, or a musician playing the right instrument, such as bassoon, can be selected even if his other qualifications do not promise too much.
However, underrepresented races and relatives of university graduates and employees often have similar benefits.
Teacher’s recommendations are very important because they help to judge the talent, diligence, and other qualities of the student. Essays help to select the most original and inventive students, and interviews often show how the character of the student fits the character of the university. Thus, each element of the application plays a role in the concept of the applicant. The extent to which this concept plays a role depends mainly on the size of the university.
Because of the unpredictability of this process, many students apply to several universities, sometimes up to ten, including one where they are almost certain to be accepted. To reduce the amount of paperwork or online forms students have to fill out, many universities are adopting the Common Application.
Features of studying in the USA
In the largest universities, a student usually has to enter a certain department, but in most universities he enters the university in general.
Even where it is necessary to enter a faculty, there are ways to move from faculty to faculty and it is possible to have the status of “not decided”, although the path to some faculties is almost or completely closed. In other universities, the student must decide what to specialize in at the end of the first, and sometimes even the second year. Sometimes, in addition to the primary specialty (major), one or more secondary specialties (minor) can be added, and sometimes two or even three primary specialties can be chosen.
For each course you listen to, you are given a certain number of loans, points, which in theory correspond to a certain number of hours per week of work on this course. A student can choose his classes freely insofar as he earns more than the minimum and less than the maximum loans and fulfills the requirements of the university and his specialty or specialties. The requirements may be specific (“vector analysis”) or general (“nine loans liberal arts”) and may be completed at any time prior to graduation.
Grades in American universities are given by semesters or, less frequently, by trimesters. They depend mainly on examinations, which are usually taken in the middle of the semester or trimester (midterms) and in the examination session at the end of the period (finals). Homework, projects, presentations, essays, etc. can also be read…

Page not found – Adapted books in English Zinzer Books
So, I’ll start with a banality. To learn English (and any other language), you need to practice it. Not only to talk to the teacher or social friends, but also to practice writing, listening and reading. For what?
Listening to understand everyone and everything, not just your teacher.
Writing to practice grammar, the correct construction of phrases and memorize new words.
Reading to learn new words, to see how, in what combination they are used, to see the correct grammatical constructions.
Popular phrases of students (not mine, fortunately): “I just need to speak, I would like grammar easier, I don’t like to read, but I will write only on Instagram, and two or three words are enough there” – this is all total bullshit .
Without reading and writing (and listening, of course. This is generally the main thing) you will not learn how to speak correctly. And in general, to speak, and not to accidentally add three instagram words.
In short, you have to read and write. Now the question is what to read (we’ll talk about the letter later)?
Answer: if you are just starting to learn English, then your level is Elementary, maximum Pre-Intermediate (if these words do not tell you anything, then your level is Elementary). So, you need to read adapted books in English. The original will still be difficult. After 5-10 adapted books, you can already switch to simple original ones. But always start with adapted ones.
The next question is which adapted books to read? The Internet will offer you a bunch of ancient books like: “Three Men in a Boat”, “Sherlock Holmes”, “Treasure Island”, “Mowgli”, “Robinson Crusoe” and others.
These are all bad books. No, they are excellent books, but they are not good for initial reading.
They are all a hundred years old at lunchtime, they all have such English that they no longer speak or write, but recommend them and sell them in stores only because these books have expired copyright and anyone can publish them.
So I have my list here. Yes, from those books that I adapted myself. Yes, the books are not free, but they cost a penny. Most of them are modern and relevant in terms of the English language, and I refreshed a couple of ancient ones (for example, Tom Sawyer).
Let’s start. If you learned English a hundred years ago at school, then it’s best for you to start with a very simple “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” . Here is the book:
I think everyone knows who Tom Sawyer is. The tomboy and his amazing adventures. Flying is read.
Adapted books for Pre-Intermediate
Moving on. I feel that you still tried to read Sherlock Holmes or “Three Men in a Boat” (after all, they are free on a thousand sites), and the soul wants something else.
At least I really hope he does. And here you go: adapted “Bridget Jones’s Diary” – almost like in the movie, only better. And if you think The Diary is a book for girls, then it is. But the book is interesting, even in an adapted version.
If you are not interested in the experiences of a girl over 30, then I have another diary. More precisely “The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole” about the experiences of a teenager of thirteen years. And no, this is not a children’s book. And yes, read at a time. Even in English.
Next adapted book in line: Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Who doesn’t know “Fight club”? Everyone knows him. Even in the truncated, adapted version, the book retains all of its…hmm…noiriness.
If you’re after the classics, the next book to read is Truman Capote’s adapted Breakfast at Tiffany’s . And it’s better than the movie, too.
If you read all the books listed above, then I assure you, your English will skyrocket (no, of course, but it will definitely get better).
