Growing up Drug Free.
INTRODUCTION
Child rearing is
one of the most important tasks anyone ever performs, and the one for which
there is the least preparation. Most of us learn how to be parents through
on-the-job training and by following the example that our parents set.
Today the widespread use of alcohol and other drugs subjects our children,
families, and communities to pressures unheard of 30 or 40 years ago. Frankly,
many of us need help to deal with this frightening threat to our children's
health and well-being. Recent surveys show that we are making
progress in our national battle against some drugs. Casual use is
declining, attitudes are changing, and we know more about what works to
prevent drug use by our young people. As parents, we can build on that
progress in our own families by having strong, loving relationships with
our children, by teaching standards of right and wrong, by setting and
enforcing rules for behavior, by knowing the facts about alcohol and other
drugs, and by really listening to our children.

INTRODUCTION Of all the taxes
you pay, probably none delivers more tangible benefits than the property
tax you send to your city, town, or county. Real estate taxes are the lifeblood
of local governments, accounting for some three quarters of their budgets
for schools, sanitation, parks, and public safety--in short, for just about
everything that makes the quality of life in your community what it is.
But even if you're satisfied with what your property-tax dollar buys, you
should not have to pay more than your fair share.
What do the records show? The most basic errors
arise from a simple mis-description of your property in the municipal records,
and this is where you should look first if you suspect a problem. The listing

Most of us can't snap off a check for the total price -- we'll need a loan, a mortgage. And that means knowing how much we can afford to pay on that loan each month. No two people are in the exact same financial situation, but a good rule of thumb is 25% to 29% of your gross monthly income can go toward housing, depending on the size of your down payment and whether you purchase mortgage insurance. Keep in mind that this has to cover not only your mortgage payment, but all housing costs, such as taxes, insurance, and any homeowners association fees. Determining 29% of what you gross is pretty simple. Let's say you earn $2,500 a month (remember, this is before taxes). Multiply that by .29, and you'll see that you can probably spend about $725 a month on housing. O.K., that's the easy part. But if you have $725 a month to put towards housing, what exactly does that mean when you're looking at the total selling price of a home? And since the interest rate on the loan affects your monthly payment, you have to consider that as well. Fortunately, The HUD Home Buying Guide includes an easy-to-read mortgage payment chart based on a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage. With it, you'll have a pretty good idea of the selling price you can afford, at a particular interest rate, given your monthly income. Data is provided for interest rates ranging from 6% to 10%, and for homes with selling prices up to $170,000. Knowing what you can afford is just the first step; there's still a way to go before realizing the dream of owning a home. But you don't have to do it all yourself; a real estate agent can help. After discussing the kind of home you want, the areas you're interested in, and the various features you're looking for, an agent can show you those places within your price range. You may not be able to find a 3-bedroom house on the north side of town with a fireplace and finished basement just by driving through neighborhoods. But if there's one on the market, your agent probably can. Most people only
buy a house once or twice in their lives. Real estate agents do it every
day. They'll help you decide between mortgages, handle the seemingly endless
paperwork, and be there to answer any questions you may have. Just remember,
the agent's commission is usually paid by the seller, not the buyer. Which
means when it comes to negotiating the sales price, the agent is normally
working for the seller.

INTRODUCTION Every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. The Office of Educational Research and Improvement has produced Helping Your Child With Homework to contribute to the drive to increase family involvement in children's learning. As the handbook points out we know that children who spend more time on homework, on average, do better in school, and that the academic benefits increase as children move into the upper grades. But the value of homework extends beyond school. We know that good assignments, completed successfully, can help children develop wholesome habits and attitudes. Homework can help parents learn about their children's education and communicate both with their children and the schools. And it can encourage a lifelong love of learning. In addition to helping with homework, there are many other important ways that parents can help their children learn. Parents can encourage children to spend more leisure time reading than watching television. They can talk with their children and communicate positive behaviors, values, and character traits. They can keep in touch with the school. And they can express high expectations for children and encourage their efforts to achieve. |
