Education & Reference - 5 June 2006

I am a student 18 years of age and i live in Ontario > Canada. Recently my father recieved a call from my math teacher about the results of my recent test and my current mark. Although I am sure she has only the best of intentions, i am wondering, due to the fact that i am 18 years old, if she has legal grounds to do so.

My daughter has a learning disability but wants to go to college. She wants to be accomplished. Community College will accept her in "not for credit" classes, but will not matriculate her into any "credit" courses. This girl is SO motivated to learn, and has done exceptionally above what one might expect.

Are there courses on-line that offer real life college credit that might accept her and let her try? I'm not talking algebra or physics. Maybe something cultural or maybe something in personality or psychology. She would need an advisor and an advance at your own pace type of program.

She completed a course in sign language after graduating from home school high school. Yes she has some limitations, but the bar isn't welded to the post yet. I think she could be successful if she had the luxuries of time and encouragement.

She has a lovely job in a consignment store and likes working with people. I'm a little unversed in legitimate on-line learning programs. Ideas?

My 4 year old son is already reading. I am a teacher, so I've always read to him and he has taken a natural interest in letters and words. I haven't really been pushy about it, I just answer questions when he asks. Being that he will not enter kindergarten until NEXT fall (2007) I am seriously considering homeschooling him and his sister (now 2 1/2). I feel like they would get a better education at home than in the public school near us. Should I begin formal instruction with my son? I've read a lot of things saying that homeschooling preschool and kindergarten is very loose, and you shouldn't push much of a curriculum. I was wondering what others are doing with their kindergartners. And what do I do with my 2 1/2 year old while I teach him?

Oh geez, I really can’t help myself. They can’t spell and they’re obsessed with sex. One guy wanted to know about washing his ‘pennis’.

Okay, here’s the obligatory question:

Should I make fun of the adolescent puber-kids or just sit back and wish I was still young enough to know everything?

I have decided to go back to school in the fall. I have an associate degree in design, but I haven't done anything with it so I am going to go in another direction. I am going for a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in accounting/finance. Can anyone here who has a similar degree tell me what they have done with it. What type of job were you able to get? Did it take long to find a job in the field? Thanks for your help!

Sorry to ask this twice, but I know that Yahoo! had something going on yesterday so people couldn't answer anything. I didn't get any responses so I thought I would try again.
