What is an Accredited High School E-teacher ?
July 6, 2012
ROXIE, MS - The importance of a high school education and diploma in a young persons life is so important for their future. Nobody should question that statement. However, some young people do not see this until it is too late, they don't like regular school, have to help support their family or other factors in their busy lives. With the advent of the computer age, we have found a very successful online accredited high school that gives the parent and student a choice. A learning experience plus a High School diploma.
At National High School, you will find the same classes that you find in traditional high schools. They provide a comprehensive set of high school classes online that cover core subjects, as well as additional areas of study. National High School has over 100 course offerings.
E-teachers and the Virtual School Guidance Counselor are available year round to help students pick the courses that are right for them and their post graduation goals. They also have a Course Suggestion List with recommended classes to begin. Students receive a well-rounded online high school education! Their curriculum is challenging, innovative, and aligned with national standards. Students awarded an accredited high school diploma must satisfactorily complete the minimum 24 credit requirements to graduate.
National High School’s Credit Recovery Program allows for full-time students enrolled in traditional, brick and mortar schools to take the credits they need to meet their resident high school’s graduation requirements. In addition, National High School is a great option for both formally homeschooled and first time homeschooling students, plus: they provide qualifying students with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) approved core courses required in both Division I and Division II schools.
The following information is taken from their website ....
National High School is accredited by The Commission on International Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). SACS Accrediting Commission is also recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). CHEA is a non-governmental agency that reviews and recognizes accrediting agencies that accredit degree-granting institutions and is listed by the United States Department of Education as a nationally-recognized accrediting agency.

The following information is taken from their website ....
NHS students are at the center of the learning process. Students experience a accredited virtual classroom that values cooperation, diversity, and high academic achievement. As in traditional classes, students are responsible for learning course content and completing course requirements. Students may find that the e-teacher has posted an announcement to the class, responded to questions or work submitted the previous class day, or made a new assignment available. Most students adjust quickly to online learning and enjoy their classes. What did students tell us they liked best about their online classes?
• Regionally Accredited recognized High School Diploma: Working at their own pace
• The relaxed feeling of not being in a large classroom with other students who always have the answer• Exploring their creativity: E-teachers who helped them through the parts of the class that were hard to understand• Not having to sit in a classroom and listen to someone preach• Learning “a lot of things I would have not had the opportunity to learn if I had lot taken this course”• Discovering that “I learned a lot more by reading than I would have by listening”

Lawyers Rank 5th Among Top Paying Jobs
July 5, 2012
Staff Report
The legal profession has had it detractors over the years. Is their cost of higher education paying off in their field of endeavor? The ranking maybe misleading since most Chief Executive Officers receive their salaries in other forms of payments in order to lower their taxes burden.

Franklin County School District Statistics True or False ?
July 5, 2012
Staff Report
Most all schools are in the 'spotlight' because of budgets, teachers hiring qualifications, student welfare and other factors. We sometimes take for granted the people we elect to our School Boards that have to consider these factors and make management decisions under the 'spotlight'. They are the direct decision makers and managers of our local educational process. Therefore, the local elected School Board Member makes final decisions, both good and bad, that effect us as students, parents, citizens and taxpayers. Do we care enough to question those decisions?
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education in the U.S. and other nations. NCES is located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences.
Who Uses NCES Statistics?
We should all use the tools we have at our disposal in order to educate ourselves on the 'facts'
about our own schools.

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education in the U.S. and other nations. NCES is located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences.
Who Uses NCES Statistics?
Education statistics are used for a number of purposes:
- Congress uses them to plan federal education programs, to apportion federal funds among the states, and to serve the needs of constituents.
- Federal agencies, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Commerce and the National Science Foundation, are concerned with the supply of trained manpower produced by schools and colleges and with the subjects that are being taught.
- State Education agencies are both users and suppliers of NCES data.
- State and local officials are concerned with problems of staffing and financing public education.
- Educational organizations, such as the American Council on Education and the National Education Association, use the data for planning and research.
- The news media, such as television networks, news magazines, and many of the nation's leading daily newspapers frequently use NCES statistics to inform the public about matters such as school and college enrollment and expenditures per student.
- Business organizations use trend data on enrollments and expenditures to forecast the demand for their products.
- The general public uses education statistics to become more informed and to make intelligent decisions concerning educational issues.
We should all use the tools we have at our disposal in order to educate ourselves on the 'facts'
about our own schools.
