Education & Reference - 7 August 2006

Last year when my child was in kindergarten he got in a fight with a girl. I made him buy the girl a flower and write an apology on the card. I thought this was the end of it. Apparently I was wrong.

Today at the school's open house, the girls mother confronted me. She told me that she already informed the teacher to keep the 2 kids seperated, and that she does not encourage her children to fight.

I was speechless. I had no idea what to say. What kind of parent would encourage a child to fight?? I need a snappy comeback for the next time this happens. I am sure it will happen again. Obviously she isn't they type of person to let this go. The kids are only 6 years old.

What can I say next time?? I don't want to just be standing there with my mouth hung open. But it is in school so I don't want to say anything too offensive either. Just a simple, sassy, smart comeback. Thanks!

Besides the obvious, bedding, clothing, laptop, and toiletries. Any tips on how to make it seem less dorm like and give it personality are appreciated too.

8 years ago I graduated from a community college with a diploma in dental hygiene. I am stuck because I am debating whether I should go do the one extra year of the dental hygiene degree completion program available only online or go start all over and take courses that interest me in the faculty of arts and business. get that degree.the only thing is that would take me 4 years and its too late to apply for this year so I would have to apply for next year which would make me 34!!! I feel that I am too old and will miss the opportunity to get married And by then I will be at least 38, still single with no kids. So, I only want to do it if I can commit to the those 4 years. Right now, I am single, have no family obligations, no kids. Ihave always wanted to go to university but unfortunate circumstances/oblilgations prevented me from it. Now I feel that I will never get the confidence, self trust and skills from anywhere else but going to school for myself. a degree will be mine!

I am considering going back to college for a Masters degree in mathematics, and then teaching math in a community college. How hard is it to get a full-time position in math at a community college? Can anyone point me to some serious research? I'm told by some (guidance counselors, profs with tenure) that there is a shortgage of mathematics teachers but I have not seen any actual data to back up this claim. I'm told by others (unemployed or underemployed liberal arts majors) that it is impossible to get a full time teaching position at a community college.
I like math, but I don't want to go back to college and then find out it's impossible to get a job teaching math.
Thanks.
