There are many different approaches to designing educational courses, and the use of online technologies offers more flexibility in this area than ever before.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Advantages of Home Schooling The first advantage of homeschooling that emerges from literature is the need for family members to bond. According to Arai (2014), keeping children at home rather than at school helps parents to have a close-knit family. Many parents regard homeschooling as an opportunity for them to learn more about their children and for the children to learn more about them. Arai (2014) notes that parents whose children have undergone homeschooling would make comments such as “we’re much stronger as a family now” or “homeschooling has brought all of us together as a family” (Arai, ...

Introduction

There have been concerns regarding police conduct for years. Therefore, the managerial departments have been working hard to educate the cops about ethics. Unethical behaviors of police officers can subject their agency with civil litigation. Civil lawsuits come in many forms such as racial discrimination, age discrimination, sexual discrimination and religious discrimination. The organization will, therefore, have a hard time curbing this kind of lawsuits. The media will also bring down an agency particularly if a police office has violated one's civil rights (Barry, 1999). The public will watch the news and lose their confidence in the organization.

After initiating a review of the literature to guide the study, the methodology will involve data collection—interviews with ...

In a paper presented at a symposium on teaching children to think creatively, child psychologist E. Paul Torrance (1972), creator of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (Torrance, 1980, 1966) says, I know that it is possible to teach children to think creatively and that it can be done in a variety of ways.
