PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4, 2011 — "The common saying 'a mind is a terrible thing to waste' now comes with an ardent ring of truth," declared PrimeHangout founder and CEO Henry I. Balogun. "In my earlier press release, I emphasized what I firmly believe and care about and that is the fact that the time has come to help students from elementary school to high school and possibly beyond in their quest for academic excellence. We cannot and should not stand idly by and act like we are not concerned about the state of our educational system. Teachers are frustrated, students are defiant and failing grades are on the increase in some school districts while some are enjoying quality education. No child should suffer and struggle quietly with learning problems. Let us begin to implement Transparency™ in every school district," Balogun emphasized.
What is Transparency™? "Transparency™ is a free tool designed to transform learning. If you are a teacher, Transparency™ is designed to reduce frustration associated with teaching a child who is running away from learning due to difficulties in comprehension. Transparency™ provides an open door to a child struggling with whatever subject — math, science, or any subject. Transparency™ is a new ally designed to reduce whatever stigma is associated with slow learning. Teachers from any school enrolled in the Transparency™ program would be able to post homework along with any specific instructions. Students would immediately have access to the homework posted by their teachers. Parents of students in the enrolled school would receive notifications and access to the same homework their children have access to. Any child who is in need of help would be able to find pre-screened and approved mentor(s) willing and ready to assist the child every step of the way. PrimeHangout, through the connecting power of the Internet, makes it possible for students, parents and mentors to connect in real time regardless of distance and time. Mentors are volunteers and their services — one hour a day or one hour a week — is a free service to any child, anywhere without compensation — monetary or otherwise.
"Transparency™ makes it possible for parents and teachers to meet in cyberspace to review a child's progress, when necessary. Poor academic performance at school should not go undetected longer than the first time it occurs. Our goal is to attack whatever the problems are and to help each child as well as parents in their quest to making better academic performance a right and not a luxury.
"PrimeHangout makes it easier for all the parties concerned to know enough about each other to feel comfortable. Parents would be able to monitor interactions between their children and mentors from virtually anywhere there is Internet access to ensure that whatever communication exists is socially acceptable and age appropriate.
"The idea of transparency in education is an idea whose time has come. Embrace it and register your school for free at http://www.primehangout.com," concluded Balogun.
