By the time a child reaches middle school,they have already fallen into a homework Habit.Good students study,do their homework and turn it in when due but many children start to fail at this age.One reason that school children begin to fail at this age is lack of organisational skills.lost homework and assignments often plague students.Study has often shown that even children with learning disabilities will benefit from organisational skills.

1) HOMEWORK BOX : Purchase a homework box.whenever your child brings home an assignment,use the supplies in the homework box,this alleviates the time spent in finding sharpened pencil,pens or paper to do the assignment.make it a policy that homework time does not end until the supplies are put back into the homework box.

2) ASSIGNMENT BOOK: place clean sheets of paper or exercise books into the homework box.the assignment book increases communication between you the parent and the teacher.

3) IN AND OUT FOLDER : Label two folders in and out, that way you know what assignment has come in and what is done and on its way out.

4) SCHOOL WORKER TRACKER : As graded schoolwork comes home,have your child list the school work and grade on the paper into a binder, this allows you the parent to be able to look at the child's grades.it also prevents the child from missing assignments in the teachers grade book.

Using one or all these methods will keep your child get organised.Always start these strategies at the start of the school year and forgotten homework will become a thing of the past. Organised children spend less time finding their homework assignments and tend to turn in their assignments often and in time.The key to success for any of these strategies is PARENT INVOLVEMENT.Ask your children questions if you don not understand their notes.These habits if taken seriously,are habits that will last them into college.

Top Neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander was convinced that out of body experiences were mere hallucinations until he went into a coma himself and had what he now believes was a Glimpse of heaven.
"The near-death experience will change lives in more ways than one" .he said.He attested that his vision of the universe was replaced with a new one.After he contracted what doctors ascertained to be Meningitis caused by a rare strain of E-coli,His survival chances were set at Zero.He lay for seven days in an unresponsive coma.
While in Coma,he gradually became aware of being in a primitive state that felt like he was being buried in earth.He sometimes heard and saw other entities." It was partly horrific,partly comforting and familiar. 
Best part for him was a meeting with a biological sister whom he said he was unaware of because he was adopted as a child and knew nothing of his birth family and the death of this biological sister named Betsy.
This Woman Betsy was extraordinarily beautiful and first appeared riding on the wings of a butterfly." I had never seen this woman before,yet her presence was enough to heal my heart,to make me whole in a way i'd never known possible,her face was unforgettable,her eyes were deep blue and her cheekbones were high,her face surrounded by a frame of honey-brown hair" 
"There i encounter the infinitely powerful,all knowing deity whom i later called OM,because of the sound that vibrated through that realm.I learned lessons there of a depth and beauty entirely beyond my capacity to explain".
Four months after coming out of Coma,he received a picture in the mail.Due to his earlier investigations to make contact with his biological family,a relative had sent him a photograph of his sister Betsy-The sister he never knew.The shock of recognition was Total.It turned out to be the face of the woman on the butterfly wing...culled from dailymail.co.uk..
