We started the @steemiteducation account to help promote learning on this platform. We believe that education gives us better knowledge of the world around us and it changes the world into a better place. We even hand out homework to give people ideas on what to write and to earn a little extra money if they have completed the homework successfully according to the post criteria.
Education is not supposed to be boring, because when it's boring, then learning stops!
Steemiteducation wants to bring back the fun into learning, because the more fun something is, the easier someone learns. Every day we search high and low for the best educational articles to upvote and resteem, and because of the vast amount or writers it has become more and more difficult to find good quality educational articles.
With the limited amount of SP we have in our account it is unfortunate that we can only vote a limited amount of posts per day, it is therefore very important to make sure that you follow the rules to make sure that you are one of the twenty posts that we vote on daily.
Although we would love to support all of the education related content we find, we simply don't have enough SP to do so. As a result, we have to be very selective when it comes to rewarding posts.
We have been overwhelmed by the community sending us donations to help support the educational community. For a while we were able to rent delegation, but it is no longer affordable. We now have to depend on our income again, and any donations from the community. Please feel free to send us any donations. Thank you!
We urge everyone to read this criteria below and be aware of the type of posts that we support! We WANT you to succeed on Steemit and we WANT you to earn money, and that is why we reward GOOD QUALITY posts that meets the criteria below.

Steemhomework for the week!
It is often difficult to handle discipline in classes, but we all have our own ways of dealing with the more difficult students in classes. To handle a difficult student is however far less complicated than dealing with parents. How do you handle the difficult parents that gets involved at school? Tell us all about it.
Come on be a little creative!
We have opened an account on Facebook to promote steemiteducation. We resteem all the posts under Edu Cation on Facebook so that we can become more visible. You are welcome to post your links there!
You are welcome to invite your teacher friends to our Facebook page. You can now also follow us on Twitter. Please join us here!

Education is the cure for ignorance and learning is something that we should never stop doing. I will do my part by posting a few more educational blogs going forward. Keep up the great work
"Education is not supposed to be boring, because when it's boring, then learning stops!" That is so true!!! I'm very excited to find an educational community like yours where it is not just focused on cryptocurrency or blockchain. I just posted my first post on the discord server but I'm a bit confused with the photo source. I'm pretty new here should I still put a source if it is my photos?
