Being a student myself, I understand the struggles some students may face academically.

...learning, I believe in two very basic principals. First, "Perfect practice makes perfect." I use this modification on the old adage to show that when practicing anything from math to grammar, repetition of the correct kind is absolutely key.

Every student, no matter how old or young, experienced or novice, gifted or challenged can...
