Hello! I am apart of the generation that never learned phonics, I was taught to memorize my words and eventually became well read and read 60+ books a year. I have zero problems understanding literature and analyzing text, and words that I cannot pronounce, I can understand the meaning behind them through context clues, etc. I KNOW HOW TO READ! (Kinda… lmao see later) My problem is PRONUNCIATION!!! I don’t read aloud a lot, and recently I just started reading a book to myself and realized, holy shit, I can’t pronounce these words and I also don’t know how to. I am missing the phonetic knowledge to properly sound words out. For example, here are some words I know how to say from memorizing but I would pronounce like this prior to hearing it correctly: hyperbole → “hyper-bowl” instead of “hy-PER-buh-lee” epitome → “epi-tome” instead of “eh-PIT-uh-mee” segue → “seg” instead of “SEG-way” facade → “fuh-kade” instead of “fuh-SAHD” I could not tell you why those words are pronounced that way.
Student: Can you reopen the test? I didn’t pass. Me: I can, but I’d like you to take a little time to review the content first. Student, with a dramatic sigh: But I don’t know it. I just used AI for everything. Me, more shocked than I should be at their complete lack of embarrassment: Okay, so, how do you expect to pass the test? Student: I’m just trying different answers each time. Me: That doesn’t seem to be working for you. Student: Well I don’t know what else to do. Me: Do you think you might learn the content better if you did the assignments on your own? Student: No. I don’t know any of this. Me: … Student: Like I know I should do it, but I don’t have time to learn everything in three weeks. Me: Just humor me, okay? Go back through your assignments, and redo these ones in particular, because even the online system flagged them as AI.* Take some good notes. Then I can reopen the test. Student: … Me: I care about the quality of your summer break and want to graduate you as soon as

Hello, I’m a 16M, and I am working on creating mental health initiatives at my school. As the junior class vice president and someone who has struggled with mental health, I want to help others. I’m thinking of collaborating with our mental health club to make videos about the signs and symptoms of depression or anxiety, along with some ways to support a friend. I also want to develop a buddy system for students who feel isolated. I plan to have students take leadership roles to assist those who feel left out. This could involve a Google form where students feeling lonely can ask for help, and then they would be matched with a buddy. I’d love to hear if anyone has additional ideas or advice on how I can implement this. submitted by /u/WPJHtx [link] [comments]
I am 16 years old and my dream is to pursue a higher education, or be able to learn understand and know about difficult subjects, this dream of mine is motivated by the fact that, due to financial struggles, i have not been able to attend school or any sort of educational curriculum ever since primary school, which created a lot of insecurity surrounding my education or critical thinking abilities. i have always thought of myself as pretty dumb or average and ever since i couldn't go to school it made me feel even worst about what im intellectually capable of achieving. i want to be able to do hard things and i want to be able to pursue a higher education and challenge myself, but i believe or i feel that its not possible for me to get to that level with a different learning experience, i dont have any guidance, or a environment that helps point out and correct my personal mistakes, or a environment to discuss subjects with people who have more experience. ……… I plan to take a GED in r

I've recently been accepted into a Masters program to study Higher Education and Administration, and I'm wondering if the degree is worth it? I already have a masters in Secondary Education, and have been a secondary teacher for 4 years. I'm ready to transition into a college academic advising, student success, or career advising role. I'm willing to take an available position that might not be related to these just to get my foot in the door, and gain experience needed that will equip me for more desirable roles in the future. I'm just ready to move on from the high school environment, but sincerely passionate about supporting young adults in higher level education. I've read that you don't necessarily need a masters in a particular field to work in higher education, but have also come across hiring managers who say they don't even consider hiring applicants who do not have a MA in Higher Ed. I've been applying for lower level positions at my local colleges/universities but I'm hoping

Ive always had a lot of absences except for 2nd to 1st grade, the limit is 100 absences and in 3rd grade i ended up having 216, in 4th 251, in 5th 122 and in 6th grade 99.. in like 4th to fifth grade i had a surgery and was absent for a while though so i had that excused. I usually have 98-99 absences in a school year now, which id say is way better than how it was back then but could still be improved.. i have 6 classes every weekday except for friday thats when i have five classes.. how many absences should i be having? submitted by /u/xXTouhouPenisGod3Xx [link] [comments]
I've been thinking a lot about this lately and wanted some honest perspectives from teachers, students, and parents. AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere in schools now. Some students use them as a genuine study aid, asking followup questions, checking their understanding, working through problems step by step. But a lot of students seem to be using them to skip the thinking entirely, paste in an assignment prompt and copy whatever comes out. The thing is, struggling with hard material is kind of the point. That productive frustration is where a lot of real learning happens. When AI removes that friction completely, are students actually building any skills, or just getting grades without the growth? I've also seen teachers mention they want to stop relying on AI detection tools because it shifts focus away from actual teaching. That resonates with me. So I'm curious what people here think. Have you seen AI genuinely improve how a student understands something? Or does it mostly functi

BackgroundChoosing a medical specialty is a critical career decision that affects both physicians future professional lives and the composition of the healthcare workforce. Specialty preferences are shaped by multiple personal, educational, and socioeconomic factors, yet evidence from senior medical students in southern Iran remains limited. This study aimed to assess willingness to pursue specialty training among medical interns at Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, identify their preferred specialties, and examine factors associated with their decisions. MethodsThis descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among medical interns at Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Using a convenience census approach, all eligible interns were invited to participate, and 83 students completed an online questionnaire. The instrument collected demographic, academic, and occupational data, as well as reasons for willingness or unwillingness t
Most previous studies have examined medical postgraduate research training from a single dimension, lacking a full-chain analysis that integrates capability demand, actual possession, obstacles, and output. Consequently, the measurement of capability gaps and the analysis of underlying training model deficiencies remain insufficient. To address this gap, we administered a self-designed multidimensional questionnaire to 86 clinical medicine postgraduates at a medical school, covering research cognition, interest, capability demand and possession, participation pathways, difficulties, and outputs. The aim was to systematically characterize the current situation, identify problems, and propose optimization strategies. Over 90% of participants expressed interest in research, yet only 1.16% self-rated as very knowledgeable. The largest demand-possess gap was for writing and publication (86.05% vs. 16.28%), followed by independent research capability (75.58% vs. 11.63%). A total of 59.30% ci

BackgroundEarly clinical exposure and student participation in research are important components of medical training. They may support learning motivation, evidence literacy, and self-directed learning. In many programmes, however, clinical training and research training remain separated. Few studies have explained, within a real teaching team, how learners turn clinical phenomena into researchable questions and how research participation can reshape their clinical understanding. Early Clinical and Research Training (ECART) is a clinical-research integration approach developed by an orthopaedic team at the Second Hospital of Shandong University. MethodsWe conducted a theory-informed, interpretivist qualitative single-case study. The case was an orthopaedic clinical-research team at the Second Hospital of Shandong University. Participants included medical undergraduates, academic degree graduate students, professional degree graduate students, clinical teachers, and research platform le
Birth preparedness is a critical strategy aimed at promoting safe childbirth by encouraging pregnant women and their families to create thoughtful birth plans and prepare for potential complications. This approach ensures timely access to skilled maternity and health care services, which are essential for reducing maternal mortality. This study assessed the factors influencing birth preparedness among pregnant women attending Antenatal Care Clinics at the Regional Referral Hospital in Makeni City, Sierra Leone. A probability sampling method was used to select 112 pregnant women, and data were collected during 2023 with a structured questionnaire, using the Matturie Birth Preparedness Scale, as uniquely designed and prepared for this study. The collected data were analyzed using STATA software (version 14.0). Our findings revealed significant gaps in birth preparedness: 83.0% of respondents were unaware of their expected delivery date, 79.5 % did not register for antenatal care in their

Despite the increasing availability of VBHC education, gaps remain between health professionals conceptual understanding of VBHC and their confidence to implement it in practice. This study assessed perceived learning needs and preferences of healthcare professionals across foundational topics essential to VBHC implementation. DesignCross-sectional online survey study Setting and participantsThe survey was distributed to the global VBHC community and yielded 518 responses. Most respondents were based in the UK and Ireland (51%) and 65% had more than 10 years of experience in the health sector. Participants represented a variety of professional backgrounds, including clinicians (34%), operational or executive managers and leaders (22%), and life sciences or procurement professionals (13%). Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome measures included self-reported interest and
IntroductionIn-hospital cardiac arrest carries high mortality despite standardized ACLS training. Educators face increasing time constraints in developing assessment tools for ACLS training. Two possible solutions to this problem are using pre-medical students or using artificial intelligence to generate test questions. This study compared the quality of pre-medical student-generated ACLS test questions vs. AI-generated ACLS test questions, testing the hypothesis that AI-generated questions are non-inferior to student-generated questions. MethodsTen pre-medical students created ACLS questions following predefined criteria, while an AI model (Northwells Artificial Intelligence Hub) generated comparable questions. A blinded ACLS-certified physician evaluated questions on the qualities of Alignment, Clarity, Cognitive Level, and Question Design using a standardized rubric (Likert scale: 1 = poor quality, 5 = excellent). Students T-test and Chi-square analysis were used to compare the qual
