Translation jobs are undertaken by professional translators who are well versed with at least two languages.Translation can work at two levels: inter-state or regional language translation and inter-national or foreign language translation. Some forms of parent involvement with the school such as communications with school, volunteering, attending school events and parent--parent connections appeared to have little effect on student achievement, especially in high school.

I remember the day when my father and mother dropped me off at college. My father was an immigrant who had come to America when he was 11 years old. My mother, the daughter of a traveling salesman and a seamstress. Neither of my parents had gone to college, so I was living a dream for them by going to college. I was going to have a "better life." I was going to succeed. And the day they dropped me off on campus was when it all began.I realize that not all families view education in exactly that way. But the fact remains that Americans have always placed great value on education. Newly arrived immigrants to America continue to value education today. In fact, the quality of America's schools and colleges is a big reason why new Americans continue to arrive on our shores.How are those dreams going to change in the new world of American distance learning - a world where students can do their coursework from their computers anywhere? I don't have a crystal ball, but here are some changes that I can predict. Some of them, in fact, have already begun . . . A new and practical outlook will evolve about the value of education. With tuition costs rising at a rate that far outpaces the rate of growth in personal income, fewer Americans are going to go to college just because doing so is part of the American dream. We have reached a tipping point where Americans are placing practical value above vague notions of the "status" of a college degree. A variety of non-college certifications will become just as coveted as college degrees. This is already happening today, as more students are training for needed professions and jobs instead of getting college degrees and then thinking about employment later on. In the future, students and their families will take more pride in pursuing training that is practical and useful. People will accept that education has more to do with learning than with location. At first, it may be difficult for families to realize that the old ritual of dropping a son or daughter off at college is about to become an artifact of the past - and that a good education can be delivered electronically. What will matter is how education happens - not where it happens. This kind of new thinking is already taking place, but full acceptance will take some time.A new kind education-based class structure will develop. Wealthier "old school" Americans who can pay absurd tuition costs will continue to send their children to high-ticket, exclusive colleges and universities. But a class of "new school" Americans will evolve too. These "new schoolers" will be just as well educated as the "old schoolers," and they will be just as successful. The fluff and elitist trappings of "exclusive" educations will hang on, but will start to look as silly as they really are. People will have to accept a new kind of educational timeline. In the old days, most people went from high school to college to working. That chronology is already disappearing. People today are attending college whenever it makes practical sense to do so. There is no longer the belief that if you don't start college after high school, the opportunity will be lost. A better new world will evolve, where people of all kinds will be able to attend college. Thanks to new educational offerings like those offered at StraighterLine, virtual classrooms can include students who are just starting college, students who are in the military, students who are parents, and students who are already working full-time jobs. This new diversity will make virtual classrooms highly evolved places to learn - settings where people can bring their diverse and unique perspectives to the shared process of learning.No mistake about it. American higher education is changing fast. But thanks to the growing prevalence of distance learning, something else is changing too. American higher education is getting a lot better Article Tags: Distance Learning, Higher Education
