Where There's A Will There's An A

I just ordered this from QVC for the middle school level. It is a set of learning tapes to help your kids with their study/learning skills. Has anyone ever tried them? If anyone is interested it is the special value today.

Hi TC. I've never used this but would be interested on how it works. Keep us updated.

I don't know anything about it, but I just thought it was ironic (or coincidental) that you posted this today because John Ritter used to do the commercial, or infomercial, for this, and he's the topic of the day on the boards.

Hi Tuffcookie:
While I was in middle school (early 90's) all students had to take a critical thinking class and Where theres a will theres an A was part of the class. It is the only thing I remember from those classes and it help me boost my grads from B-C's to straight A's which I kept up through High School and into College. Because of Where theres a Will I was able to concentrate better and get more out of my study time. Jeez I sound like I'm giving a testimonial
I am glad to know that it is still available and I will purchase for my kids now so we have it when they are ready.

Kitty beat me to the post.

JeniC - Can you tell us a bit more about the program. What type of strategies does the program give? By this I mean does it give provide specific study methods? How does it improve concentration?

LOL! We must have been posting at the same time. The demo on the program will be on QVC at noon ET, just about ten minutes from now. It's on the three payment easy pay plan and the total with tax and shipping was about $195. The regular price is $299 and I don't know if that includes shipping or tax.

Hope that helps!

Wondering what the difference is between the high school and college versions. Anyone know? I think my kids could both benefit from the high school, but I wonder if the college is very different?

Its been over ten years since I watched the vidoes but the main points that have stuck with me over the years are:

Be Organized with your work and notes
Study in a quiet place
Review, Read and Review again
Try to relax yourself before taking a test

Hope this helps!

It normally sells for $299 but today, with s & h it's $189. From what I gather it helps to teach you kids how to organize and develop good study skills. It comes in a set of DVDs (or vhs tapes) and when you watch them with your child it shows you how you can help your child. I should get mine by next Thursday so I'll keep you posted as to how it goes!

No kids around to buy these for. Let us know if they are helpful. Who knows, I might actually have grandchildren someday and want to buy them.
