ST. JAMES, NY, December 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — This Week’s Letter from the Head of School
December 1, 2010 — Letter from Chris Pryor
Race to Nowhere – An Inspiring Film; An Urgent Message

Last month I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 annual Head?EUR s Conference for the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS). We had an all-star line-up of dynamic and engaging speakers for 3 days, which included two of my favorites: Pat Bassett and Ned Hallowell. Although Pat Bassett spoke eloquently on the topic of trends for school leaders to ponder and Ned Hallowell reminded us all of the importance of connections with one another, I think it was the viewing of Race to Nowhere that caught my attention a lot more than anything else. Not for the reason that you might think?EUR?

Race to Nowhere, a film directed by Vicki Abeles, was thoughtfully prepared, expertly filmed, riveting to watch, and at times, downright saddening. Her purpose was to galvanize change and bring communities together toward creating nowadays?EUR s education for children far more meaningful, purposeful and mostly doable. Yes, doable. The film was clearly presenting a case that nowadays?EUR s high standards for educational excellence are making the daily routine of our students just plain unbearable and eventually unsuccessful. We met stressed teens, depressed teens and parents who felt helpless.Race to Nowhere exemplified high-test scores as well as the college application process as the root cause that drives a lot of students into a never-ending circle of frustration. In fact, the film followed several students and their families and it was truly difficult to watch. In one horrific example of a teenage girl committing suicide, the viewer saw the devastating effects our educational culture can have on a child.

Certainly the film captured my attention in regards towards the fast pace, high stress that seems to rule the lives that numerous teens in this country are leading. However, the spotlight on how we in independent schools are doing several things nicely was far more towards the point and much more relevant to our lives in independent schools. And for me ?EUR” it was powerfully affirming.

Often our school?EUR s missions refer to the raising of the whole kid, which includes cherishing childhood, questioning the world around us, solidifying our sense of self, and cultivating a student?EUR s emotional intelligence. To do this correctly, there are certain times when educators ought to insist that students unplug, close the books, and connect with 1 another. This means not placing test scores in the center of our universe but raising children in an environment where we teach a sense of balance and that test scores are understood to be one element of a very complicated and complex profile of a student. At Harbor Country Day, and several independent schools across the country, we dedicate time to learn about other people and ourselves. We dedicate time to learn about philanthropy. We dedicate time to community service. We dedicate time to slow down and be thoughtful. We connect. We teach students to think critically, be creative and we aspire to instill a adore of learning. We promote a healthy life-style and teach students to seek a better a sense of balance.

I do not wish to take anything away from this film ?EUR” it is remarkably properly done and sends a message we all need to heed. I chose to focus on the positives and also the schools that are preparing our students properly for a Race to Somewhere.

CAVAN, IRELAND, December 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — Young drivers’ car insurance is something that is really a painful subject for numerous new or inexperienced road users.

With a few commonsense steps, it could be possible to reduce those premiums to a much more manageable level, says car insurance specialist Quinn-direct. They have issued a few tips that young drivers could find helpful, from choosing a new car to getting young drivers’ car insurance:

- Some insurers equate high-mileage estimates and younger drivers with significantly increased risk.

- Some insurers welcome evidence that your tuition has been conducted by means of a skilled and highly reputable driving school. Some, such as Quinn-direct, might offer discounts if you have undergone 25 lessons having a Driving Instructor Registered (DIR) instructor.

- Steer clear of motoring convictions. These are normally very bad news for any insurance company, particularly so if you are a young driver.

- Check out student opportunities. Some insurers such as Quinn-direct offer discounts to students.

- If you have been driving on somebody else’s insurance policy, remember that some insurers could be willing to take that expertise into account if you are looking for young drivers’ car insurance of your own.

- Think about insurers. Not all motor vehicle insurance providers necessarily welcome young drivers. By contrast, other insurers might specialise in young drivers’ car insurance. Quinn-direct is an example of one such company that delivers particular solutions for young or inexperienced drivers.

- Keep your policy requirements simple. If you are a younger driver and are trying to include other younger drivers on your policy, you might find that your expenses soar. Trying to insure other drivers on your policy that have motoring convictions might prove to be difficult and/or equally expensive.

- Think about your no claims bonus. Firstly, avoiding minor and marginal claims may be a good idea in terms of protecting your no claims bonus (topic towards the terms of your policy). Secondly, some car insurance firms may allow you to earn a no claims bonus even if you do not however have your full licence – providing the cover is in your own name. That could be very useful for the future.

Following these simple steps may assist you to find young drivers’ car insurance that provides you both good cover along with a cost-effective solution.
