The original of this narrative, kindly lent me by Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, to whom I make full and grateful acknowledgement, is a manuscript booklet of 41 pages, about 9 in. by 5 ½ in. The author, it seems clear. was Lewis Clifford, who with his twin brother Arthur was in the school year 1792/3 in the class of Poetry. These two boys were grandsons of the 3rd Baron: their father. the Hon. Thomas Clifford, of Tixall, Staffordshire, the youngest son, was married to Barbara. a daughter and co-heiress of the 5th and last Lord Aston of Forfar. She it was who inherited Tixall and at her marriage brought that estate into the Clifford family. The twins, aged 17 “le cinq du mois ventose de l’an troisieme” (23 February, 1795), after their release from Doullens reached London on the following March 3rd. and after a month or so at home spent the summer term—April to August—at Stonyhurst. Arthur then rejoined some of his former fellow prisoners at St. Edmund’s, Old Hall. Of Lewis one knows only that he died unmarried in 1806. For Arthur’s subsequent literary work. see the Dictionary of National Biography.

Intrinsic motivation is important and it can be divided in different dimensions. The Self-Determination Theory is based on intrinsic motivation. The test based on this theory was given to 14-year old students from three different schools: one where students used tablets in the science class during the 2015-16 school year, and two schools where students used textbooks and workbooks for the same subject in the classroom and at home. The test measured three dimensions of intrinsic motivation: interest and satisfaction in connection with the tasks they perform, how they perceive their competence to use the necessary tools to study and the value of the tasks they perform. The results show that students using tablets are more motivated in the three dimensions measured by the test than those using the textbook.

This study aims to examine parents' perceptions of distance learning in response to the closure of many schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research subjects consisted of parents of elementary school students, and the data were collected using interview techniques. This study shows that distance learning in a research context is organized in the form of online and offline learning. For parents, the current learning approach is something that must be lived and supported in the absence of other options. Even though parents do not have negative perceptions, distance learning contributes to increasing the burden on parents or families economically, including psychological and social aspects. The lack of parental involvement and support in the learning process of children at home is generally due to the lack of time and the inability of parents to become teachers for their children at home. Actions to accompany and support children's learning at home are carried out in the form of providing internet packages, helping children to master the learning materials, and participating in completing assignments or tests given by the teacher. The surprising finding of this study is that children's learning motivation has decreased, and for the remainder of the school year, parents expect the government to reopen it so that children can study again in class and meet with their peers.

The “Little Readers’ Circle” was born as an attempt to encourage reading in a class of young adolescents. One of the authors worked in a middle school that served a socially and economically weak area in the North of Italy. The class, in its first year at the school, was composed of 11-to-12-year-olds. Over the course of a school year, one hour a week was spent sharing what had been read at home, presenting books that had been particularly loved, writing quotes on a dedicated poster, reading out favourite passages. Thanks to a well-organised school library and to enthusiastic support staff, all children could access books, some of them reading three books a month. Many even subscribed to the City Library to be able to continue reading over school holidays.

Julius Berend Cohen and his twin brother Adolf were born in Manchester in 1859. Their father was Sigismund Cohen, one of the numerous Germans who migrated to this country to take up the career of merchant shipper. It was his expectation and his desire that his twin sons should enter what had become his prosperous business. After early education in a Manchester day school, they attended a general matriculation course at Owens College from 1875-76. With a view to their preparation for business, one of the twins, Adolf, spent a year in Lisbon and the other, Julius, a year in Paris. The following year the brothers entered their father’s business, but it appealed only to Adolf. Julius had in his school days practised experimental chemistry in schoolboy fashion at home and acquired a strong interest in science. After a year of his father’s businesshe then decided to prepare for a career in chemical industry and returned to Owens College for two years, 1878-80, principally to study chemistry.

This study was developed to investigate parents' perceptions and attitudes towards distance learning in response to many schools' closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of parents of elementary school students in Gunungsitoli City who were determined by purposive sampling technique, totaling twenty-four people. The data were collected using semi-structured interview techniques and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study shows that distance learning or learning from home in a research context takes the form of online and offline learning. For parents, the learning approach implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic emergency must be lived and supported in the absence of other options. Although parents do not have negative perceptions, distance learning has increased the burden on parents or families economically, psychologically, and socially. The lack of parental involvement and support in children's learning process at home is generally due to the lack of time and the inability of parents to become teachers for their children at home. Actions to accompany and support the learning process of children at home are carried out to provide internet packages, help children master the material, and participate in completing assignments or tests given by the teacher. The surprising finding from this study is the decline in learning motivation and cognitive abilities of children. Parents hope that distance learning is not extended in the remainder of the 2020/2021 school year so that children can study again at educational institutions.

This study aimed at obtaining an overview of demographic data (education and employment) of the parents of kindergarten children, the parental involvement in the kindergarten activities and in educating their children at home. As an exploratory research with descriptive analysis, the study was conducted in the school year of 2013/2014 in Pamulang and Serpong, Sub District of South Tangerang, Banten, where 238 parents were participaed as the subjects of the research. The finding of the research showed, in terms of education and employment many parents are potential enough to take part in child care. The involvement of both parents both in the kindergarten and at home is pretty good, but needs to be improved, especially in educating their children at home everyday to be independent. The parents are also needed to persuade to be volunteers in the kindergarten. Therefore, further research is recommended to identify appropriate strategies to make the parents more involved in their children’s education.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate where students in a Swedish compulsory school acquire their knowledge of food safety and how trustworthy they deem them to be. Design/methodology/approach A survey of students’ self-reported sources of and trust in food safety knowledge was performed. A student response system was used for data collection, and the students were asked to answer questions presented on a PowerPoint presentation using a small wireless handheld device: a clicker. A questionnaire with 24 questions was used, and the responses were collected at 18 different schools with a total of 529 participants attending school Year 9. Findings Mothers were reported as being the most important source of food safety knowledge (38 per cent), especially among girls, and were also given high credibility (36 per cent). Boys reported trusting home and consumer studies (HCS), fathers and media to a higher extent. Girls reported cooking at home more often but, for all students, it was more common to rarely or never cook at home, which is why HCS teaching can be seen as valuable for many students. HCS teaching needs to be improved in order to raise its credibility. About half of the students (51 per cent) reported to have the highest trust for their source of knowledge. Research limitations/implications The students could only choose one source of knowledge and trust, although it is usual to learn from many different sources. Practical implications HCS teaching needs to get higher credibility among students as a counterweight against other sources. Social implications Educated consumers could influence their health. Originality/value Limited research has been performed on food safety knowledge among adolescents.
