Ensuring effective communication between the school and the parents is essential in order to meet the child's educational needs and goals. The first and most important thing that schools can do is to establish an atmosphere that encourages growth in cultural responsiveness, sensitivity, and appreciation that entices ESL parents to participate in school meetings and other important school functions (Logsdon, 2009)
In addition, texting is helpful in business in delivering financial information, stocks, commodities, etc. (Crystal 2009)
g. cam to cam) requires that one be organized, but able to perform impromptu in business, much as if one were popping in to another person's cubicle (Davis and Weinstein, 2005)
it, like many things in the modern world, is instantaneous, satisfying the 21st century need to have both dependence and independence based on our own decision or whim. Therein lies the confusion for many -- just how real is an electronic friendship that can exist without really "knowing" the person physically? How robust are virtual relationships except in the mind of those participating? and, how do we know with whom we are actually chatting or forming a bond -- could the mother of three living in Scotland be something quite different on the Internet? (Haythornthwaite, 2005)
One will also need to decide if one is going to adopt the shorthand English, or retain business English in communicating through text and/or instant messaging. There are both positives and negatives to both -- and it depends if one is able to switch gears and understand that there are certain times that it is appropriate to use non-standard English, and other times that it is crucial in the business world to use precise, formal, business English (Jaderstrom and Miller, 2006)
Indeed, the use of these electronic tools has likely done more to democratize and allow for transparency in the business world that at any other time in history. Certainly, interdepartmental policy can mitigate the manner in which these tools are allowed in the office; but who really has time to monitor email and IM in the course of the day, particularly when management is also receiving the same amount? We cannot change the evolution (and possible truncation) of language, but we can hold to standards of proper spelling and clear, concise writing that is appropriate for the message and audience intended (Jones & Alexander, 2000)
Rather, one needs to realize, the 5-paragraph theme rule still applies: topic -- back up sentences (paragraphs) and robust conclusion. Just because it is email does not mean it should deteriorate into conversational slang, poor spelling, and lack of professional tone and timbre (Schiffman, 2007, Chapter 2)
Email has literally changed the way business works, but it is important to note that because it can be archived, read by others, and is potentially not neutral; more care may be given to it as a tool in order to assist in productivity, not hinder. Indeed, most current estimates show that for every 8-hour managerial shift and above, 2 hours is taken up just getting through email (Smallwood, 2008)
). Texting systems can also advise customers of billing dude dates, promotions, and other messages more easily converted to text than left as voice mail (Trosby 2004)
Speak clearly, do not mumble, do not hide behind a microphone or prop, but instead, look directly into the camber and, if at all possible, pretend that the person(s) in the same room so that you can be clear and precise. If possible, mimic your verbal presentation with graphics to accentuate your points (Wilcox, 2000)
In fact, the work Paradise Lost can be read as a political allegory, where thematic elements within the epic are "aligned with aspects of the political context of the poem's creation" (Roberts 1). In this political allegory, the characters are in a political situation, as "he saw the events of the Christian myth he was retelling as paradigms or archetypes for the daily events of the Civil War" (Forsyth 63)
Milton's powerful representation of Satan in Paradise Lost is another powerful political tie to the English Civil War. Through this character, Milton is exposing the "fear of change / Perplexes Monarchs" (Milton I
The English Civil War was a major influence in a number of literary and artistic works made during this period. The beginning stages of the conflict lasted between1642-1651 (Roberts 1)
Throughout the work, Satin is one of the primary political figures. Here, the research suggests that "Milton responded to and consciously or unconsciously reproduced these entangled aspects of war in his portrayal of the war in heaven" (Summers & Pebworth 235)
Cultural and Language differences in addition to differences in educational attainment separating families and school staff can make communication and family participation in school activities hard. For instance, survey data show that parents who do not speak English at home are less likely to take part in school-based activities and more likely to participate in fewer activities over the course of the school year thus causing the students grades to fall (Nina & Lu, 2012)

Bover highlights the importance of the family as the significance to education. When those in the home get to know those at school, the child will benefit (Ortmeier-Hooper, 2008)
With that said, the selection process will indeed be purposive. As stated by purposive sampling as explained by Chein (Pracht, 2007) makes the point that the researcher wants to discover, recognize, and gain insight
If she had told me she was a vegetarian, I wouldn't have made steak for dinner. (past time) Linguists sometimes refer to these kinds of sentences as "counterfactual" conditionals, or break them into categories of "counterfactual," and "future less vivid," (Iatridou, 2000)
