RoadFish.com Publishes Website Article Calling on U.S. Educational System to Educate High Schoolers on Finance

(PRWEB) October 14, 2012

RoadFish.com, a website that dedicates itself to educating male consumers on issues like finance, maintaining a good credit score, and online dating reviews, presents a post that offers the argument that proper financial education should be taught or offered to high school aged students in order to prepare them for life beyond the education institution. Astonishingly enough, only 13 states within the U.S. have laws requiring students to take a class on personal finances in order to graduate from high school, says RoadFish.coms Senior Staff Writer.

With the U.S. economy in a state of turmoil, the article on educating high school students on finance is a timely and eye-opening one. I believe that smart money knowledge needs to be instilled at a young level, something that can be done in school and at home, ways to avoid bad credit is essential, says the Senior Staff Writer of RoadFish.com. Indeed, the website presents supporting evidence of the serious situation in educating U.S. students on financial matters by referencing an article by Daniel Bortz of U.S. News. Bortz observes that, High school students are studying up on calculus, advanced chemistry, and world history, but most arent learning fundamental money lessons to help them financially navigate the real world.

For RoadFish.com, the goal of educating consumers on better, personal financial understanding is paramount to the sites success. Smart money knowledge needs to be instilled at a young level, says RoadFish.coms Senior Staff Writer. By offering insight on some of the top issues facing consumers financially, RoadFish.com is placing itself on the path to be the go-to website for easy-to-understand financial education for high school students and adults.

Pacific Metrics and Interactions Ltd. Release iPhone Apps for the California High School Exit Examination

MONTEREY, CALIF. (PRWEB) August 31, 2012

Pacific Metrics Corporation, (http://www.pacificmetrics.com) a leading provider of online assessment solutions, has partnered with mobile product design firm Interactions Ltd. to develop iPhone application practice tools for the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). Available now at the Apple App Store, CAHSEEMath1 and CAHSEEStart help students practice for the exam anywhere, at any time.

The CAHSEEStart app gives students an insight into the types of questions they will experience in math, English language arts, and writing. Priced at $ .99 for unlimited use, the app contains 60 questions in an easy-to-use format. The CAHSEEMath1 app, priced at $ 3.99 for unlimited use, includes over 100 multiple-choice practice questions covering algebra, geometry, data analysis, functions, statistics, probability, and practical problem solving. Both apps give students two test formats to choose from: a flip-card test, so students can receive immediate feedback on their answer; and a continuous test, with scoring results given at the end of a session. With the auto-save feature, students can close the app in the middle of a test and resume testing at their convenience.

“Interactions’ test framework enabled us to partner with Pacific Metrics and easily present their web content as an iPhone app. Additional CAHSEE modules comprising a comprehensive test will be released in the coming weeks and months, says Dave Parkhill, Managing Director of Interactions Ltd.

CAHSEEMath1 and CAHSEEStart include the following features:

Graphs, tables, and charts similar to those on the CAHSEE test
Coaching hints
Two chances to answer each question correctly
A record of past test sessions and scores

Pacific Metrics understands that in education it is imperative to reach students on an individual basis. The development of these iPhone apps means students have access to an easy-to-use tool that will lead them toward success, states Stella Gibbs, Executive Vice President of Pacific Metrics.

The purpose of the CAHSEE is to significantly improve pupil achievement in public high schools and to ensure that pupils who graduate from public high schools can demonstrate grade-level competency in reading, writing, and mathematics. All public school students, except those identified with an eligible disability, must pass the CAHSEE requirements to receive a high school diploma.

Pacific Metrics has been developing online assessments for over 11 years and was involved with the original development of the CAHSEE standards. For more information about Pacific Metrics, visit http://www.pacificmetrics.com or call (831) 646-6400.

DEATH CULTURE: Student dies after ‘suicidal’ jump from three-story high school building

www.facebook.com www.youtube.com | LA CRESCENTA, Calif. (KABC) — Authorities responded to a La Crescenta school on Friday due to what was a student’s apparent suicide. The LA County Fire Department responded to Crescenta Valley High School at 12:22 pm The student took arunning jump off of a three-story building, just as classmates were entering the main quad for lunch. “We were all just walking out of class and we just heard a loud thump on the floor, like maybe something dropped,” said student Laura Kodaverdian. The victim, whose name has not been released, was a 15-year-old male. He was declared dead at the scene. Authorities said witnesses initially thought the victim was a girl because of the student’s longer hair. Authorities don’t know what led to the tragedy, but they do know there was no talk of bullying. Crescenta Valley High students were evacuated to the football field where they were signed out of school by their parents. Crisis counselors were on campus to talk to the students, especially witnesses, as the campus community attempts to make sense of the death. “I’m devastated, devastated, I just count my blessings that my children are happy and healthy, it’s just horrible, beyond words,” said parent Anne Capra. The counselors will be at the school for the duration of next week. In the meantime, authorities are continuing their investigation. FAIR USE NOTICE: This video may contain copyrighted material.
