Title : Amazing Mark Introduction Taking the Literacy Training Service (LTS) is a very difficult responsibility because you are going to teach a pupil and focus on where he/she is slow. Helping them in learning is a great opportunity but a difficult task. You need to have patience in teaching specially they are children, there is a big difference in their behavior compared to high school students. Also, you must have commitment on what you are doing in able to do or teach well. You should commit yourself in teaching. Lastly, the passion in teaching, if you do not have the passion, you will not be able to do your task well. You should put your heart in everything you do for you to achieve whatever your goal is.

Broken Family Structure Leads to Educational Difficulties for Children

by LifeSiteNews.com Mon Jan 16, 2006 By Gudrun Schultz UNITED STATES, January 16, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The U.S Center for Marriage and Family released a study in November 2005 that shows broken family structures consistently lead to education difficulties for children. When it comes to educational achievement, the study says, children living with their own married parents do significantly better than other children. The report found that children from non-intact families (children living in a situation other than with their own married father and mother) have significantly higher rates of difficulty with all levels of education, from pre-kindergarten through to primary, secondary, and college-age levels. Each year a child spends with a single mother or stepparent reduces that childs overall educational attainment by approximately one-half year suggests the report. The study, a comprehensive review of recent academic research on the relationship between family structures and childrens academic performance, compared education outcomes from children growing up with their own married parents to children in non-intact family structures such as divorced, single, remarried or cohabiting parents.

Family structure was consistently found to be the deciding factor in a wide range of child behaviors that directly influence academic performance, including emotional and psychological distress, attention disorders, social misbehavior, substance abuse, sexual activity and teen pregnancy. Children from non-intact homes had higher rates of stress, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, particularly as teenagers. The study found that preschool children from broken homes were three times more likely to suffer from attention deficit disorders than children from intact homes. Children from single-parent homes suffered from more physical health problems, as well. Pre-school children from single-parent homes were also less likely to be read to or given help with letter-recognition. During elementary school, children from non-intact families scored consistently lower on reading comprehension and math, and had more difficulty maintaining their grade levels overall. Children from married parents had much lower rates of behavioral problems in the classroom than children who did not live with married parents. In particular, boys from broken marriages showed a higher rate of classroom misbehavior. For teenagers, students from broken homes were 30 percent more likely to miss school, be late, or cut class than students from intact homes, in part because single parents had more difficulty monitoring their children. These children were also at higher risk for smoking, using drugs and consuming alcohol. Teenagers from non-intact families were more likely to be sexually active and had higher rates of pregnancy. Girls from divorced single-mother homes were at greatest risk for teenage pregnancy. The study also found that children who were in a single-parent or step-parent home by the time they were ten were more than twice as likely to be arrested

by age 14.Children who never lived with their own father had the highest likelihood of being arrested. The study reports that a majority of U.S. children will have spent a significant part of their childhood in a one-parent home by the time they reach 18. Single parent homes in the U.S. nearly doubled in the period from 1968-2003. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive//ldn/2006/jan/06011605

Effects on Children of a Broken Family

Marky Chavez Divorce announcement from parents can be a shocking news to the children. The trauma that the kids will experience can be too much that they might eventually lost interest in school and life itself. Divorce is the hardest challenge that can happen to a couple especially if they have kids. It is painful for the husband and wife to finally end their marriage but they are two matured individuals who are strong enough to handle changes in their lives. The impact of this turn of events in a familys life is more devastating on the children. Not only that it is painful for them on that moment to hear the news that their parents are getting a divorce. But the worst that can happen is the long term effect that can eventually ruin their future. In most cases, usually one parent keeps custody of his/her children. But despite of that, the thought that they are no longer complete seem unacceptable. Here are some effects of a broken family on children: 1. A broken home can make a child insecure. Insecure in a sense that he no longer had a complete family he can call his own. For a childs mind, a family

is composed of a father, mother and children. And living without either his father or mother will create fear and insecurities in him. This feeling of insecurities will even trigger if he is around his friends who are living a normal, complete and happy life. This is especially true in school events where the parents presence are required. There are plenty of school activities that involves the parents and seeing scenes like these will even make him feel ashamed of his family situation. 2. The insecurities, self-doubt and lack of confidence in a child can eventually make him uninterested in school. More often, those who are out of school are products of a broken home. 3. Sometimes a childs reaction on his parents announcement of a divorce is not visible. He keeps to himself the pain, shock and anger he feels. This in turn makes him vulnerable to anger, depression, revenge, alcohol, crimes, drugs and so on. He makes these as his outlets. Too much depression, alcohol addiction and drug dependency, if left untreated, can make him mentally ill or can turn him into a criminal. He may even attempt to kill himself if he can no longer handle all the misfortunes which he thinks is killing him softly. 4. Although, lets say, one parent is still guiding his child, sometimes the traumatic effect of a divorce is just too much for a child to handle that he may even lost interest in life itself. http://divorce-separation.knoji.com/effects-on-children-of-a-broken-family/

Broken Family
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 Family is the basic unit of society. This is the most essential component of a country. A home is where a family lives. It may be alternated to the word

house but a house is more appropriately referring to the material structure, whereas home refers to the intangible things that bind together the family members. It is the immeasurable love and care that keeps together the mother, father and their children. However, no matter how ideal a family in the terms of their relationship, there are still hardships and misunderstandings that will come along the way. It is just part of any relationship anyway. But, the sad part is when one of the family members gave up and the others have no choice but to accept and let go. Thus, the family starts to be broken.

A family can consist of a father, mother, and children. They all live in the same house until they are old enough to leave. Broken Family is a family with children involved where parents are legally or illegally separated whose parents have decided to go and live their lives separately for several reasons/problems. A broken family is one where the parents (mother and father) of a child or children have split up and no longer share a single family home as a family unit. This is also known as a broken home. Have you ever heard the expression "A family who's eats together stays together"? Well, that is true, but and emotionally broken up family means that the family has grown apart, fights all the time, doesn't get along. It doesn't just take a toll on the family, it takes a toll on the family members. No one wants a broken home. Even if they say they do.

Broken Family can be describe as a broken home, where in a child dont have a both parent at home. The husband and wife are legally separated. It can also be spouse and child who were abandoning. Sometimes death of one member of the family can lead to broken family. Broken family is incomplete.

However, no matter how ideal a family in the terms of their relationship, there are still hardships and misunderstandings that will come along the way. But, the sad

part is when one of the family members gave up and the others have no choice but to accept and let go. Thus, the family starts to be broken. Broken family varies from numerous reasons why it had to be that way. Misunderstanding starts from simple domestic quarrel that grows impertinently damaging the long-forged relationship between the family members. When a couple split up, it is the children that are greatly affected scarring them physically, emotionally and socially. The most common dispute between a husband and a wife is the financial issue. A couple that havent able to finish studies and started a family early would likely experience difficulty in monetary aspects. An undergraduate would have a hard time finding a lucrative job. Not mentioning that building a family needs a steadfast preparation particularly financially. Another reason why a family has broken up is because of parental or friends influence. Any relationship should be founded by unconditional love. Having a family is all about sacrifice and self-denial. Lack of genuine sacrificial love is one of the major reasons why couples split up.

Breaks home and has been proven a million times over. Infidelity starts when a husband or wife starts to be discontented with his or her partner. Thus, seeking a partner that can provide the needs he or she wants to fulfill. It could emotional needs, sexual desire or even financial needs. The key in avoiding such unfaithfulness is being very much certain on who you will be marrying. Making sure that your love is enough to spend a lifetime with that partner is important. Although the couple seems to be hurtful when a split up has been decided, it is the children that are taking the largest toll of having a broken family. The impact of having a broken home usually manifests in the adolescence of the child experiencing the trauma of separation. It may cause an internal conflict which may result to depression, anxiety, disobedience, aggression and low self-esteem.

There are difference between a complete and a broken family. Complete family can looked at their child properly than a broken family can. Most of the teenagers who belongs to a broken family did not graduate. They even suffer emotional stress and depression which usually leads to suicide. While teenagers who belongs to a complete family graduated with even honours. But there are some products of broken family who were successful because their experiences inspire them to make a better family someday unlike the family they have. Members of a complete family are also capable of handling problems than a member from a broken one but they are both acceptable in the society.

Broken family is a major problem of the society that should be given enough attention. The behaviour of family setup affects the social, economic and political aspects of a country. It should not be taken for granted as if it will fix the problem on its own. Unconditional love and eternal care should be the foundation of every family. It should always be remembered to keep the family away from the thoughts of separation. http://ambbfa.blogspot.com/

Profile of the Respondent Name : Mark A. Sigua Grade Level : Grade II Age : 8 years old Sex : Male Religion : Catholic Mothers name : Michelle A. Sigua Occupation : vendor Fathers name : Frncis A. Sigua Occupation : tricycle driver No. of siblings : five (5) Ordinal Position : First

VI.

Findings Mark A. Sigua was assigned to me, a grade II pupil from section Gumamela. He is eight years old and hes living with his father. His mother and father are separated but he has two sisters and two brothers. His moher is Michelle Sigua, shes selling a perfume a SM Clark. Hes faher is Francis Sigua, a tricycle driver. Mark is the eldest in the siblings. He is a Catholic but thety are not going to church always because his parents are busy and they are sometimes being set-aside. Whenever he see his mother with her new family, hes not hurt. His father and cousin, who is older than him are the only people who teaches or help him in his studies.

VII. Analysis Mark A. Sigua., the pupil who was assigned to me is a child who has a behavior which really differs to the other children. Hes stubborn, war freak and pasaway, but I can never deny the fact that even though hes not as kind as the other children, he is sweet and caring. Why did I say so? Simply because whenever I start teaching him, hes obedient and thoughtful. One Saturday, he gave me an ice cream which I never thought he would do. I was surprised on what he did. He has a personality, which is far different from others. He came from a broken family, he has two sisters and two brothers, and he is the eldest. His mother and father already had a new family. The only person who takes good care of Mark is his father. Marks story was really amazing because even though his mother left them, still hes not angry. For a child like him, he still doesnt know the concept about the family The behavior that Mark showed me whenever I taught him may be the effect of being set-aside by his parents and letting him do whatever he wants. He also knows the TAUGAMA, which is a fraternity. It was one of the things that really shocked me because at his age, hes already doing the things which are not appropriate to the children. The people around him are influencing him. The behavior that Mark has compared to the other children was really different. It may be the cause of less guidance by his parents and improper parenthood. Hes environment may also the reason why he acts differently and knows the fraternities which has a bad image to most of us. Having a broken family may be the root cause of having a personality like Mark, being stubborn, attention-seeker, pasaway, and war freak.

VIII. Recommendation Mark has a great personality, if he will be given enough time, attention and guidance by his parents or the one who takes good care of him, he may become obedient and with good manners not only at home, but also in school. Mark is still young, so as early as now, his parents should not let him or allow him to join in any fraternities because it will only make him a bad boy. If he will still be exposed in this kind of environment, hell be influenced and become worse. Mark must be given attention in his studies because hes having a hard time in reading. His parents should focus to Mark because if not, he will suffer as he go to higher levels. Parents should give time to have family bonding for their children to feel the love and care that they have in the family. Parents should orient their children about the things that are good and bad for them to know what should be done. Taking good care of the children even if the parents are separated. Children are being victims to the conflicts that their parents have. It will really affect the emotional behavior of the child.
