Is there such a thing as a popular quiz?

Written by Brian Fong


Q. My students have asked me for a popular quiz. Can you recommend one?

A. The answer to that question depends upon what your students mean when they say "popular".

Do they mean a quiz that can tell them if they are "popular", or do they mean a quiz that is popular because everyone likes taking it?

Hmm, maybe I can craft one answer that covers both options. You see, a popular quiz, also know as a popularity quiz, it very popular in itself. Starting at about third graderepparttar concept of being "popular" takes root and children begin to seekrepparttar 109105 "status" that being popular seems to offer to them. It isn't until much, much later in life that they learn there are more important things than being popular. Chief amongrepparttar 109106 more desirable traits are being noble, honest, truth worthy, and caring. However, for now, let's focus on popular.

A popular quiz purports to measure personality traits that make someone popular. It measures such earth-shaking issues as:

How many parties have you been invited to? How many times a day does someone compliment your clothes? Home many boys (girls) want to be your crush? Do people imitaterepparttar 109107 "cute" things that you say? Are you always picked first to be on a team?

The added advantage in african american children's education...Computer Homeschooling (Part4)

Parents and friends in our third article we championed using computers to homeschool African American children and prepare them for a future where computers will have an impact on every part of our society. Inrepparttar final part 4 article we will completerepparttar 109104 series by stressingrepparttar 109105 importance of making sure your computers and broadband Internet connection is secure fromrepparttar 109106 daily attack of hackers, viruses and thieves.. oh my!

Lions, tigers and bears in digital form are being unleashed onrepparttar 109107 Internet daily, if not almost hourly. Now most parents would getrepparttar 109108 idea that if it's that bad then why userepparttar 109109 Internet at all. If you take a closer look atrepparttar 109110 educational environment today, there are lions, tigers and bears already out there in public and private schools waiting to take advantage of our african american children each and everyday. It's almost become a challenge to just stay alive, let alone avoid drugs, teen pregnancy and other ills.

The difference betweenrepparttar 109111 two learning arenas is that while they are at home learning you have more control protecting them and more tools to defend against whatever comes their way. It's far better to have a daily defense for your african american children's learning, then to wonder what's going on at their school.

Now, let's get to looking at viruses (lions), hackers (tigers) and thieves (bears) to keep out of your computer and your home. Virus software is as important to your computer andrepparttar 109112 network it's connected to as proper nutrition is to your children. Both help to defend against having a healthy computer/child becoming sick or worse.
