PrivateSchoolExam.com ISEE & SSAT Test Prep System

If acing the ISEE/SSAT exam and getting into a private or independent school is important to you and your child then I suggest Click Here!

Every year millions of parents attempt to get their children into private school and it's no secret that admissions are getting harder and harder all the time. Schools only want the best and brightest students and because of the large amount of applicants, they can afford to be choosy. In fact, its become so competitive that only 1 out of every 5 students who apply will be accepted. This means that a shocking 80% of students are rejected.

Let's face it, an average score on the Independent School Entrance Exam or the Secondary School Admission Test will NOT be enough to get you into these competitive schools. You really need to excel on these crucial tests and you only have one chance to do it. For The Whole Scoop Click Here!

HISD chief may halt alternative school program | Top stories | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

HISD chief may halt alternative school program | Top stories | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Some Houston ISD principals banished as much as 11 percent of their students with disciplinary problems to a privately run alternative campus last school year, while other principals sent only one or two children away.
The wide disparity in principals' use of schools run by Community Education Partners has caught the attention of HISD Superintendent Terry Grier, who questions whether schools are kicking out too many students on trivial grounds.
Texas law requires that students be sent to disciplinary alternative programs for certain reasons — such as assault and selling or using drugs or alcohol — but gives principals discretion over less serious offenders."

Islam and Christianity - know the difference (OneNewsNow.com)

Islam and Christianity - know the difference (OneNewsNow.com): "'The Koran reveals...that if a man leaves the Islamic faith and refuses to return after three opportunities, he is to be killed,' he notes. 'Islam is the only religion that sanctions that sort of inappropriate, hostile behavior to those who want to leave the faith.'

In spite of that threat, however, Reverend Dobbs says many Muslims are leaving the religion of Islam for a life-changing relationship with Jesus."

Sex, Schools and Lies

Here's an article that I thought was worth reading......

Sex ed, lies, and modern culture
Marcia Segelstein - Guest Columnist - 11/3/2009 10:30:00 AM

"Perhaps your local school's sex ed is taught as part of health class. That would be ironic, since in most cases, teaching sex education has less to do with health than indoctrination. In fact, much of what's taught under the heading of sex ed actually allows for practices that are distinctly un-healthy."

Free Speech in Danger

Dear Friends,
Earlier this week, the Senate held an important hearing on the so-called hate crimes legislation that grants special protections based on sexual orientation and "gender identity" (without clearly defining those terms). Our research staff and the overwhelming majority of family policy organizations are convinced that this bill is a serious threat to our religious liberties.
In fact, this bill could impact your pastor's freedom of speech to preach the biblical view of homosexuality. Even though the bill does not specifically target pastors, combining it with the existing "inducement" statute could result in a pastor being charged if an individual commits a violent crime against a homosexual after hearing a sermon about God's view of sexuality. Wouldn't you agree that protecting our precious freedoms of speech and religion are more important than ever?
To learn more about how "hate crimes" legislation threatens religious liberties, watch our special online video.

HOW TO CHECK UP ON NEW FRIENDS

After moving into a new town or neighborhood, you may have the tendency to feel incomplete. Ifyou do not know anyone in town, you end up being complete stranger, left feeling like anintimidated new kid on the first day of high school. As time progresses, residents of theneighborhood begin to open up to you, making you feel a bit more welcome. Eventually, associates at the job are more receptive. You establish a group of your own that gathers faithfully in the break room. Some of them you have even grown close to; close enough to label friends.
After a while, things begin to change.....

One of your friends in the circle becomes a cause for concern. Perhaps his behavior has grown erratic; he has become suddenly depressed and his actions are strange. While some may think you are over reacting, your need for worry is genuine. By way of national and local news, we are witnessing more senseless violence on the job. More innocent victim's lives are being claimed by co-workers, people they casually associated with on a daily basis. Once the story hits the press, we typically find that the suspect had a shakypast, one that could have been thoroughly looked into with an employee or criminal backgroundcheck
.
When suspicions arise, you may need to take the situation in your own hands. Checking into your friend's prior record before getting too involved in the relationship is certainly a wise idea,especially in consideration of the times in which we live.

Contrary to popular beliefs, you do not have to be a seasoned private investigator to conduct an individual's background check. One of the best resources to find out anything about anyone has to be the internet. On the web exists a large amount of tools to help you learn more about your new friends. In fact, the mission of finding information on anyone is performed with more efficiency on the internet than any other platform. These online searches are fast and fairly accurate. With enough of the basic information, you will be able to find out practically anything about new friends, including criminal records and even driving records!
When you are looking to find out about anyone, even strangers, the internet gives you many options. Net Detective is the most popular people search engine online. This five star rankedservice is frequently used by law enforcement agencies all over the world. Anything about anyonecan be accessed through criminal records, family history files, birth and death certificates,adoption records, social security numbers, telephone numbers, email domains, and much more.

There are many other great services available that allow you to find out about anyone. With indepth information, background checks, and criminal records, you can rest assured that your newfriends have no dark pasts¦or that if they do, you can steer clear of the danger.

When you are conducting a background check on a new friend, you certainly hope to be proven wrong about your doubts. However, it is best to remain on the safe side. By using a little web savvy,you can instantly jump online and find out about anyone who strikes you as suspicious. The tools on the internet are very effective in helping people search the past of a new friend.

Time For School - Learn about Loans!

Some of you know me from my real estate and mortgage blog. I was poised a question in one of the online forums. So, I decided that it would be a worthwhile Blog entry.
The entire lending industry appears to be the verge of a total re-vamp. But here's some basic guidelines that are basic standards for the lending industry.

Congress recognized a need for standardization in the consumer lending arena a number of years ago. So it enacted the "Truth in Lending Act," and charged the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System with the task of coming up with a set of rules called “Regulation Z” that lenders must follow when advertising consumer credit – which includes private student loans.

With information disclosed under “Reg Z” and a working knowledge of some basic lending industry terms, consumers can directly compare competing credit offers and choose the one that makes the most sense for them.

Student Loan Comparison Shopping 101

Here's some basics to enable you to become an effective comparison shopper for student loans.

Origination Fee. Most lenders charge an Origination Fee or “O Fee” on their private, credit based student loans. This fee, which usually varies depending on the borrower’s credit history, income, and other credit-base criteria selected by the lender, is generally calculated as a percentage of the loan amount. Typically, the O Fee is added to the loan’s principal balance so the borrower need not pay it “out-of-pocket.” Note: In mortgage lending, origination fees can be less if you are workin with a portfolio lender or an entity that services it's own paper.

Index. The index is a published interest rate which is the base rate specified in the loan documents a borrower signs to which a rate known as the “margin” or “spread” that is specific to your situation is added for a determination of a loan’s overall interest rate. Indices are widely used in financial circles and are never set by us. Typically, the index used is the Prime Rate or LIBOR.

Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is the interest rate commercial banks charge their most creditworthy or “prime” customers. It is set by each bank, though many banking institutions quote Prime Rates established by the large commercial banks. There is also a Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal which is an average of the Prime Rates of the nation’s largest commercial banks. The Prime Rate is often used as the base rate or “index” on consumer loans. We use the Prime Rate as our index and update our rates monthly.

LIBOR. LIBOR stands for “London Interbank Offered Rate” and is the average interest rate offered by a specific group of London banks on U.S. dollar deposits of varied maturities, similar to the Prime Rate. Student Lenders often use either the “one month” or the “three month” LIBOR. Although LIBOR is typically lower than the Prime Rate, that does not necessarily translate into a lower overall cost of credit. You have to consider the “spread” or “margin”, the “origination fee,” and other fees along with this “index” to consider your total cost of borrowing.

“Margin” or “Spread”. This is a percentage lenders add to the “index” or base rate, to arrive at the overall interest rate. Like the O Fee, the “spread” or “margin” on most private student loans is determined based upon review of an applicant’s credit history (or the credit history of their co-applicant), their income and other credit based criteria unique to each lender.

Repayment Fee. A fee that is often charged on loans with total deferment in which there is capitalization of interest at the start of the principal repayment period.

Now, one would think that by comparing the “overall interest rate” of two loans, one could determine which loan was less expensive.

But one would be wrong.

The “overall interest rate” doesn’t reflect a lot of other items you’re paying, such as the O Fee and any Repayment Fee. Which brings us to the concept of APR – the “great equalizer” when it comes to shopping for student loans.

APR. This stands for “Annual Percentage Rate.” And why is it “the great equalizer?” Because:

APR expresses the total effective cost of credit as a yearly rate. It takes account of every penny a borrower is being charged for credit, including a loan’s origination fee, the finance charge and other charges such as “repayment fees” on total deferment loans with capitalization of interest. The APR also takes into account other relevant factors, such as the term of the loan and payment schedules.
By law, nearly all consumer loans – including student loans – MUST disclose its APR. So ANY student loan you could POSSIBLY want is going to have this key information disclosed "clearly and conspicuously" in compliance with Reg Z.
A word of warning, when you are comparing student loans, make sure that you’re looking at each loan’s APR, and not its interest rate, finance charge or the loan’s Index or Spread. This way you will be comparing the total cost of credit on each loan on an “Apples to Apples” basis. This is the only way to make a fully informed financial decision and the right financial decision for you.

Truth in Lending Disclosure. This document – sometimes referred to as the “TIL” – is sent to the borrower(s) prior to or when the loan is consummated which is when the first check is disbursed for the loan. It contains four (4) figures about the loan which contain critical information for the borrower:

APR – the total effective cost of credit expressed as a yearly rate
Finance Charge – the dollar amount of interest if the loan is paid over its full term
Amount Financed – the amount of credit actually available for the borrower’s use, or the net amount of credit extended
Total of Payments – the sum of the Finance Charge and the Amount Financed.
Lenders may – but aren’t obligated to – disclose additional information in their correspondence with borrowers.

Onward and Upward.

You now have the tools and knowledge to make an informed decision about the student loans that you need.

There’s no chance of you being taken in by offers of low “teaser rates” that shoot up after graduation. Secure in your understanding of key financial terms, you would no more confuse an Index with a Spread – or the LIBOR with the Prime Rate – than you would mistake a mouse for an elephant. Thanks to Reg Z, you know you can zero in on APR to do a real “apples to apples” comparison of the cost of every single student loan you’re considering.
