A new study has revealed that teenage fatherhood results in a decrease in years of schooling.

This study from Economic Inquiry evaluated the negative educational and economic outcomes of teenage fatherhood, a topic far less researched than teenage motherhood.

From in.news.yahoo.com:

Authors utilized the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a school-based, nationally representative longitudinal study of 7th to 12th graders in the United States beginning in 1994-1995. Their dataset included 362 men younger than 18 years and nine months. The authors compared young men whose partners experienced a pregnancy but suffered a miscarriage, with those whose partners gave birth.

The authors found that while only 64 percent of the study participants received a high school diploma and 16 percent received a general Educational Development (GED), the experience of teenage fatherhood dramatically shifted these outcomes by reducing the chances of graduating high school by fifteen percentage points and increasing the chances of receiving a GED by eleven percentage points.

“Educational interventions may need to target new teenage fathers in order to increase their chances of completing their high school diplomas,” according to co-authors Jason Fletcher and Barbara Wolfe.

An expert has claimed that parents who shun traditional fairy tales in favour of ‘more politically correct’ modern books are missing vital chances to teach their children a moral code of life.

More and more parents have been avoiding traditional fairy tales such as ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves‘.

From Dailymail.co.uk:

Sally Goddard Blythe said that the traditional tales show children how good can triumph over bad and that they can foster kindness and generosity.

Mrs Goddard Blythe argues in her book, The Genius of Natural Childhood, that the seven dwarves show children the physical diversity of life.

‘When you don’t give children these stereotypes, you don’t give them a moral code on which to develop their own lives.

‘Fairy tales help to teach children an understanding of right and wrong, not through direct teaching, but through implication.

‘Far from demonising the dwarves, the story of Snow White shows that underlying the physical diversity there can be greate kindness and generosity than is found in the stereotypes of beauty and wealth so lauded by celebrity-worshipping cultures.’

Traditional stories passed down through generations are vital to a child’s development, according to the leading child development expert.

The Internet has revolutionized the world and the world of job opportunities has been no exception. You might find it strange that you can find rewarding jobs on Twitter, one of the most popular social networking sites on the Web.

If you are striving to find the perfect job in the pool of employment opportunities, Twitter.com is one social networking site that you just cannot neglect for long. This is simply because Twitter boasts of members who are there just because to find suitable candidates for their business.

How to Start?

Create a Twitter account and use a professional looking avatar. Now, put your job pitch in the bio section and then Tweet about your job search and preferences. Do not forget to include a link to your online resume and make every possible effort to look and act as a professional besides backing up your expertise.

However, it is important for you to check the authenticity of a potential recruiter before visiting the interview place for the career opportunity. This can be done by having a close look at recruiter bio, followers’ ratio, checking the link to the business website, and enquiring about their credibility from your network friends.

Once you are done with all verifications, get ready to face the recruiter in person. But before this, do make sure that you have all your credentials at one place and you are dressed professionally. Stay confident and the world is waiting for you! After all, finding a job on Twitter is easy but the onus of finding the best one still lies with you.

Before you head to your future workplace, do make sure that you are fully prepared for job opportunities coming your way. For this, first visit the website of the employer so that you have a complete idea of what the company engage in, kinds of products and services offered by it, who manage the company, and work culture so that you do not remain clueless when a question relevant to any of these topics is asked from you at the interview seat.

In addition to that, dress well for the interview. Carry your latest resume that must highlight your accomplishments and expectations. Remember, this is a meeting that can decide fate of your career and life. Stay attentive during the interview rounds and make sure that what you speak is relevant and up-to-date. Speak in a tone that can be easily heard, do not try to be too slow or loud. It is important to note that you should not look desperate for the job; you need to present yourself in a dignified manner and eager to work for the employer.

Never attempt to degrade any one. Remember, each one of us has some skills and weaknesses and you (and no one of us) has a right to laugh at any one’s weakness.

The above tips would surely help you in cracking all interviews of life, whether they are related to your career or life.
