English

hichkok12 [17]2 years ago

Answer:

on a shoestring. With very limited financial means, as in The newlyweds were living on a shoestring. The precise allusion in this term is unclear. One fanciful theory is that debtors in British prisons would lower a shoe by its laces from a window so as to collect funds from visitors or passers-by.

Write an Article on Digital Learning experience and future of schools and
Helga [31]

Virtual learning was a modality that most students, until then, did not know. However, the moment in which we are living and the need for social distancing made virtual learning not just a necessity, but the only type of teaching allowed.

Although it may seem like a promising system, virtual learning has raised questions that are likely to shape the future of schools and education not only in the country, but worldwide. It is now questionable whether virtual learning is really effective and whether it will be able to prepare students for higher academic and professional levels. This is because it distances the student from the teacher, decreasing the ability to exclude doubts from them, in addition to being a type of learning that is constantly susceptible to distractions, since it is not carried out in an environment suitable for this. In addition, not all the population that needs to study has access to the devices needed for virtual learning. We must not forget that this type of service makes the teaching service more expensive, since it guarantees an even greater workload.

With this, we can say that virtual learning promotes a higher expenditure on education in exchange for a less qualified education and therefore should not be adopted as a substitute for traditional education in the future. However, we know that virtual learning has some advantages, which may justify its fusion with conventional learning in some factors, as long as this allows education in a country to be more inclusive, efficient and egalitarian.

Diagram sentence the first week of school can be very difficult
mamaluj [8]

The first day of school is the hardest. An example would be a child's first day. Going to school on their first day can get real troublesome for most of the children since they are not used to be separated with their parents. This will become their first big step into the world beyond the confines of your home. That is why, getting prepared for the first day of school of the child can help minimize the parents' anxiety. Here are the tips:

1. Get organized.

Make sure that you have everything they need for their first day such as deciding on what food must be inside their lunchbox or what clothes they should be wearing. 

2. Talk to them what to expect in class.

Tell the child what are the rules inside their classroom and what not and not to do when inside the class. Make them feel at ease by telling them that the teacher can help and that the parents' are always there at the end of their day. 

3. Become familiar with the school.

You should practice the journey together to school and talk about the things that they will be doing to help them become emotionally prepared.

What does captain le bret say happens to anyone who makes fun of cyrano's nose?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
In Act 1

Ragueneau and Le Bret discuss Cyrano's nose. They are joking if the nose is real or not, and Le Bret responds "He keeps it on, - and cleaves in two any man who dares remark on it!" 

"He keeps it on" simply means it really is his nose

and "cleaves in two" he will fight anyone who makes fun or "dares remark on it."
