Article
What is an article? An article is creative writing. Written work either about a person, place, or thing or even an idea that can be specific or general. This work may be broadcast by print or electronically for news, research, discussion, or academics. However, the simple definition for an article is a verbal form of contact from a writer to the reader. Why do we read these articles? A person reads these articles mainly for two reasons: enjoyment and improvement. What value is an article? You never know. They say knowledge is power.

The Perspective of a Quaranteen...
To anyone who, upon reading the title alone, is about to criticise us for being selfish and missing the bigger picture of global health and well-being, let me premise this article with this: I completely understand the mass loss of life and suffering that is being experienced world-wide as a result of Corona Virus. I acknowledge the importance of school closures and just as everyone else is and should be doing, we are partaking in social distancing and self-isolation in the interest of flattening the curve and protecting the vulnerable. However, as a sixth year student in Scotland at the time of this outbreak, I feel that I am among a huge group of people in a particularly unique situation. I am among a group who had plans of prom, passing exams and progressing to University, in the same way that we watched hundreds of students from previous years do. Among a group of people who stuck out a final year in education, preparing for the day of their final paper, aiming to get their last qualifications needed to get to their dream course. Among a group excited to experience their graduation, last day and final farewell to their school experience and therefore, I am a small part of a huge global narrative that has yet to be provided: that of the graduating class of 2020.

A Hero Who Speaks The Language of Compassion
The Statue of Liberty stands tall in the New York Harbor, still broadcasting a simple but important message. “Welcome.” But in the last few years, that nation-defining message has been obscured by those who would ignite the embers of fear and hatred. Too often, even those who enter this country legally to pursue their individual dream and then be a collective part of the American Dream are met with suspicion, enmity and sometimes even violence.

HBCUs in the Age Of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a seminal moment in the modern history of the United States. The sheer scope of the pandemic and it's indirect effects are forcing just about every institution we have to re-evaluate how they do business. This is especially true for the 100-plus historically black colleges and universities that are currently part of the higher education landscape in this country. HBCUs fill an educational and cultural niche in the black community that's hard to replicate in other higher ed environments. If you've been to a campus, been around HBCU alumni, or experienced any social aspect of the black college experience, you'll get a general idea why they're so important.

Homeschooling : It doesn’t have to feel like work!
I’m sure that there are many parents stressing about how to teach their children in this crisis. Don’t worry, you don’t have to do it all. Not even close. This is a great time to reinforce what they already know, allow them to apply their knowledge, and have them teach you. Yes, you heard me, make them the teacher. Teaching a skill is the best application of knowledge.

An insider into the present education system and ways to refurbish for the betterment
Children are highly inquisitive in nature. They are not much aware of the conventional ways of the world. Everything they see, hear and feel, creates a wave of curiosity in their minds. They get excited by the sight of the stars, chirping of the birds and the colours scattered all around them. They have their own unique perspective about things, which is far from the impact of worldly ways. It is due to their birdy mind with wings which employs all its creativity to experiment with things. They are not bothered about any boundations, thus, their enormous creativity suffers no limit. As they grow up and begin their journey of attaining education in schools and colleges, they gradually lose their touch with their creative selves and turn into mechanical beings who cram facts, learn theories and strive for the sole purpose of attaining academic degrees. The question which arises here is, who should be made accountable for this drastic change? Has the education system gone wrong in satisfying the purpose of education?
