Help for Homework Headaches

The Atlanta Public School’s Homework Hotline: a free service for students around the country

678-553-3029

www.myhomeworkhotline.org

For many parents, the particulars about percentages or the past tense of “lie” are long-forgotten lessons. So what happens when their child needs help with a tricky math problem or an irregular verb? Assistance awaits at the end of the phone line.

The Atlanta Public School’s Homework Hotline is a free community resource staffed by retired and current teachers who are experts in math, science, Spanish, language arts and social studies. From 4 to 9 p.m. every Monday through Thursday, they man the phones from a corner of the Public Broadcasting Atlanta building in Midtown, a space that was at one time a school itself.

“The hotline is a great resource,” said Dan Gillette, the APS’s broadcasting director. “I have three boys myself, and I’ve tried to help them with homework, but heaven knows, there are some math functions I need help with.”

The hotline started in the late 1980s. It was first based at Grady High School then moved to another APS facility before finally settling into the PBA building on Bismark Road. Though its original objective was to help APS students, it has since expanded its reach across the country, thanks to a grant received in 2010.

“We have students calling in from California, Texas, all over,” said Glenn Randall, a retired APS math teacher who has been answering hotline calls for 13 years. “Some calls may take a minute; others are longer. But students can call 20 times a night if they need help.”

Science teacher Willie Mae McLeod retired in 2004, but she’s been working with the hotline since 2002.

“The hotline is very different from being in the classroom and trying to make someone learn when they don’t want to,” said McLeod. “The students who call us usually do so because they are looking for help, and I enjoy working with them one-on-one.”

The Hotline is also a resource for parents. Team member Julio Blanco, a teacher at Bolton Academy, works with many Spanish speaker who want to help their children. “I’ve had parents spell me assignments letter by letter so I could tell them what it said,” he said.

What the hotline teachers won’t do, they point out, is just give students the right answers.

“Oh, yes, I’ve had students call and say, ‘I don’t have time for you to tell me how to do it; just give me the answer!’ ” said McLeod. “But my job is to help them understand the concepts so they can answer them for themselves. And I’ve had several students who didn’t like that approach.”

Each Saturday, we shine a spotlight on a local neighborhood, city or community. To suggest a place for us to visit, e-mail H.M. Cauley at [email protected] or call 770- 744-3042.

APS’ award-winning Homework Hotline answers students’ questions

We took some time to watch the award-winning tutors of Atlanta Public Schools’ Homework Hotline as they took calls from students. A unique partnership between Atlanta metro school districts and Public Broadcasting Atlanta’s (PBA) E-Learning/Cyber Center, the Homework Hotline is served by diverse mix of retired and active APS educators, as well as Georgia Tech students. These talented tutors take on all comers, addressing topics such as math and science, foreign language, English/language arts, history/social studies — you name it. They’ve also become an asset as students prepare for the upcoming CRCTs.

We interviewed two seasoned veterans — retired APS teachers Willie Mae McLeod and Glenn Randall — and Georgia Tech senior Steve Iarocci as they walked us through the process of staffing the hotline. Download this flyer to keep at hand for easy reference . You can read our Atlanta Educator article about the Homework Hotline, which last year was honored with a My Source Community Impact Award for Education by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The staff also includes APS teachers Julio Blanco (foreign language), Marcia Jackson (English/language arts) and Kevin Wright (social studies).

How much does an essay cost?

Starting your search for an agency, you need to carefully study the services of each option. There are a lot of specialists in this area, so prices vary in a wide range. But you need to remember that the quality of work directly depends on the cost. Decide immediately what is more important to you - financial savings or the result.

Companies always indicate how much 1000 characters of text costs, so that the client understands what price to expect and whether it is worth continuing to cooperate.

At Essayswriting, it all depends on the timeline you put in it. Professional authors can write an essay in 3 hours, if there is a certain volume, but it must be borne in mind that with such a service the price will be the highest. The cheapest estimate is the work that needs to be done in 14 days. Then 275 words will cost you $ 10, while 3 hours will cost you $ 50. Please, take into consideration that VAT tax is totally included in the mentioned prices. The tax will be charged only from EU customers.

When choosing an agency, try to pay more attention to the level of professionalism, and then evaluate the high cost of work.

Customer Reviews

What is a good essay writing service?

Oddly enough, but many people still have not come across a quality service. A large number of users fall for deceivers who take their money without doing their job. And some still fulfill the agreements, but very badly.

A good essay writing service should first of all provide guarantees:

• confidentiality of personal information;
• for the terms of work;
• for the timely transfer of the text to the customer;
• for the previously agreed amount of money.

The company must have a polite support service that will competently advise the client, answer all questions and support until the end of the cooperation. Also, the team must get out of conflict situations correctly.

It is necessary to have several payment methods on the site to make it easier for the client to transfer money.

And of course, only highly qualified writers with a philological education should be present in the team, who will not make spelling and punctuation errors in the text, checking all the information and not stealing it from extraneous sites.

State commissioner pitches 988 at Carter Center mental health forum. Next up: Atlanta Braves game

Primary content.

LISTEN: The Atlanta Braves will partner with state health officials to create awareness of the 988 crisis line. On May 29, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Health and Developmental Disabilities Kevin Tanner will throw the first pitch of the Braves home game. GPB’s Ellen Eldridge has more.

For Georgia   Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Commissioner Kevin Tanner, getting the word out about the new three-digit mental health crisis hotline requires heavy hitters — and word-of-mouth. He'll throw the first pitch May 29 at Truist Park, when the Atlanta Braves take on the Washington Nationals.

Tanner said he is practicing.

"I went to the Little League Park in Forsyth County and found a young man who had a great arm, and he and I played catch," Tanner told GPB. "We stepped it off at 62 feet from the mound to home plate. And we played pitch and catch. And I think I did a pretty good job."

When the topic came up during the 28th annual Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Forum at the Carter Center on May 14, Tanner joked about his chance to pitch 988.

"Let me just say, that's created a great deal of mental health stress for me because I didn't think a whole lot about it," he said as audience members laughed.

Though it did occur to him that he could make his point about mental health and the 988 crisis line another way.

"Well, maybe I need to skip the ball to the plate and then get on the microphone and say, 'You know, it's OK not to be OK. You just get up every morning and play ball.'"

Everyone laughed, but the message is serious.

Mental heath crises are on the rise

In 2021, there was one death by suicide every 11 seconds in Georgia, and, nationwide, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 14 and ages 25 to 34. 

"So those are staggering numbers," Tanner said.

But only 16% of Georgians know about the 988 suicide crisis and access line.

Two years after its launch, more rural Georgians are calling for help than in other parts of the state.

The first reason for the disparity is the obvious lack of resources, Tanner said.

The second part is stigma.

"If you live in a rural community and you park your Chevrolet truck in front of the clinician's office, everyone in town is going to know that you were there," Tanner said. "You can call 988 and remain anonymous. I think that's a big factor in why rural Georgians are calling 988."

The money invested in expanding these and other behavioral health services already helped reduce call response time from 200 seconds to 12 seconds, Tanner said.

More funding, per usual, is needed as staff are still struggling with increased call volume and mobile response time.

About 2,000 times a month, a mobile crisis team of two people, at least one of whom is a licensed clinician, meets callers where they are anywhere in the state.

"The goal, nationally, is to have that mobile crisis team to you in a metro area within one hour, and in a rural area within an hour and a half," Tanner said.

Building a legacy of mental health care in Georgia

Georgia first lady Marty Kemp highlighted during panel the nearly $20 million investment Gov. Brian Kemp made toward behavioral health care, including $16.5 million for more mental health crisis offering emergency care.

While it was noted after Sine Die that the fiscal year 2025 state budget leaves an unprecedented $16.3 billion general fund surplus, Kemp maintains her husband is fighting alongside mental health advocates.

"There is definitely an investment in our state that will help," Kemp said. "But that doesn't mean we're stopping there. I mean, we have to continue on."

Another $1 million each is budgeted to help expand mental health services in child advocacy centers, the Veterans Mental Health Services program, and through telehealth services in schools, Kemp said.

The David Ralston Center for Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities at University of Georgia received $1.5 million.

Tanner said Ralston, the late former House speaker, inspired much of the work state agencies are doing to fund and enforce mental health parity, and he valued his opinion.

Years ago, when Tanner considered taking the commissioner job, he asked Ralston for advice.

"'I said, what do you think, Speaker?'" Tanner said.."Because I served under the speaker, I had a great deal of respect for him and his wisdom and judgment. And he said, 'Kevin, you only get a few opportunities in life to make a difference. And when those opportunities come along, you need to take them.'"

So, when the Atlanta Braves reached out to Tanner about literally pitching the crisis line at the upcoming home game, he had to accept, even if he did so without contemplation.

"They made the offer and asked me if I was interested in doing it," Tanner said. "How often do you get the opportunity to go out and throw the first pitch at the Braves game? So I jumped on that."

More from the Mental Health Forum

Established in 1995, the Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum hosts service providers, policymakers, advocates, and consumers from across Georgia each May to address timely mental health policy issues facing the state.

This 28th Mental Health Forum is the first after former first lady Rosalynn Carter's death in November 2023.

The gratitude for her life's work was palpable in the conference room.

In addition to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline discussion, experts assessed the mental health needs of Georgia's veterans and service members.

Morehouse School of Medicine and Voices for Georgia's Children representatives shared best practices in preventing and intervention for Black youth who may be at risk of mental illness.

You can watch the entire conference , including recorded messages from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, and U.S. Rep. Earl "Buddy" Carter on the Carter Center website.

Who can help me write my essay?

At the end of the school year, students have no energy left to complete difficult homework assignments. In addition, inspiration is also lacking, so there are only a few options:

• do not write a scientific work;
• write it badly;
• delegate these responsibilities to other people.
