Mrs. Owl's Tutors

08/30/2016

Dear families,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Mrs Owl's Tutors will be closing for a few years. I attempted to continue running my business while raising my son as the "stay at home parent". I found myself spread too thin and overwhelmed. I plan to reopen when "Baby Owl" Lucas begins school. I am sorry that I will not be able to help you find tutors for this school year.Thank you for your understanding and I hope you have a wonderful school year!

‘Every Student Succeeds’
The Every Student Succeeds Act gave power over education reform back to states and local school districts, effectively reversing the power given to the federal government under No Child Left Behind.

The bill was notable for its bipartisan support, as both Democrats and Republicans agreed that No Child Left Behind forced schools to spend too much time and energy on testing or face increasing penalties.

“This is a Christmas miracle,” Obama said at the December 10 signing. “A bipartisan bill signing right here.”

In effect: Immediately.

What it means for you: The testing standards from No Child Left Behind remain in place, but states and local districts now have more control over how to handle failing schools. States are also not required to adopt Common Core standards. Learn more:

We can reduce math anxiety!

Math anxiety is much like other fears, say scientists who scanned the brains of third-graders. One-on-one tutoring soothed the fear circuit in anxious kids' brains and improved performance, too.
