Knowledge is Power

Education Depends on Schooling

Charter Schools Are the Way to Go!

My daughter attended public school for five years, there they said her test scores were among the highest. I placed my child in charter school, they said her test scores were below average. I love education and teach my child at home on a daily basis. I realized something wasn't right. I didn't believe my child knew some of the things she should at her age. I knew I had to take my child out of public schools and I 'm glad I did.
East Oakland Leadership Academy is the charter school my daughter now attends, it's great. For P.E. they go to Karate school across the street. After school the kids can go to a tutor or Chess club. I went to private school, public school, and magnet school as a kid.
In private school I received a good education and I knew I wanted my kid to have a good education too. But the price of Private schools doesn't fit my budget, so I went with the next best thing. The charter school my daughter now attends has only 138 students for grades K-8 which is a benefit.
The staff there are great, friendly people with warm smiles for everyone. I help out at the school when my time permits, and my daughter's teacher is always challenging me to a chess game. When she was in public school there was always a substitute teacher and the kids weren't studying. I love the creed at East Oakland Leadership Academy,"Failure is not an option." If you can get your Children in a charter school don't hesitate, my daughter and nephew attend there together.
Public schools are still passing kids on even though the child may not be ready. If you do switch your kids' school, and their test scores aren't where they should be, don't be upset with your child. Public schools aren't all the same, some may be better than others, but look into charter schools I think there pretty good. 

Sports TV

This TV, All Sports, All Day

Man Cave TV for Sports Only

The way TV is set up nowadays you can watch sports all day, every day. Sports center, college sports, and ESPN all you want on your TV, and you just need the right set for the job. My experience and research say go with Plasma. The great debate is LED-LCD vs. Plasma. OLED is new, and might be the best way to go if it fits your budget. Plasma is best with sports because you don't have to worry about the screen freezing or refresher rates. My vote is with Plasma if your main focus is sports. One main factor is lighting. Investing in dark curtains can be a good idea if your goal is to enjoy a lot of sports. So you get the best picture quality you might want to play with the picture contrast, it's a very important feature that controls dark and light levels.
I've chatted with people in Las Vegas where they gamble on sports and take watching sports seriously and the people I spoke with agree, Plasma is best if you can't afford OLED. The Sales Associates at the stores and the people in the Sports Bars agree that Plasma is the way to go.
I also suggest using a high quality surround sound system to get that in the stadium feel. Something in the Bose line that fits your price range might be best, it's what I have and it really makes me feel like I'm at the game. Go with professional installation that way everything gets installed correctly and possibly with a warranty. Like most of us sports fans your going to want to watch two or more games at once so make sure you pick a set with the PIP feature that way you really won't miss much.
