Why can't Schools cut down or totally cut out homework for school kids in the USA? I see no data to suggest they are any better off with having 3 hours of homework a night, matter a fact, it makes them hate school work all together!! Remember the saying "too much of a good thing ruins it"? well same for homework and now they are assigning it on weekends? do you agree with three hours of homework for a 9 year old per night -plus weekends?

I have passed my PGCE and am still awaiting my certificate from the GTC to say that I have achieved qualified teacher status. Without this I cannot work and am reliant on my partner for money as I have come to the end of my overdraft. I have joined an agency and am only awaiting this certificate to begin work. However I have phoned them up 5 times in the last month and have finally been told I should recieve my certificate by the end of this month. This isn't, in my opinion, good enough; how to I move forward from this situation? They tell me there is nothing they can do, that I cannot have a letter to prove my QTS as I have not yet paid them any money. Don't think they deserve any, frankly. Any advice welcome, thank you.

I would love to work abroad teaching English as a foreign language;however the amount of information on the web is confusing!There are many varied types, I would like to do an in-depth course and gain a recognised qualification although, I am not sure which type of course to take - I found a good website cactustefl.com that helps to differentiate between all the courses but any more info would be great! I would love to hear from anyone who is currently teaching abroad or has done in the past. I would love some tips and info of good courses and where to study. (I dont want to do an online course) Thanks v.much!

I would like to do a TEFL course so that I can teach English abroad. I don't really want to go to university and would like to do maybe a 4 week course? Does anyone know of a good course that would give me the qulifications needed? There seems to be loads on the internet but I don't know if they're genuine?

My past is totally dodgy, from birth to the present, full of abuse, prostitution and drugs. Are people tired of this, now it seems to be the norm.

I am doing a project about emotions and I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that sybolizes sadness. It could be a phrase, such as "proud as a peacock" or just a flower, bird, ect. Depressed would also work. So basically if you know of anything that is sad or depressing that is an item that could symbolize it, that would really help me. Plus you get points for answering so...

I read that if there are 13 people at a table, more often than not, two will share the same date of birth. I'd like to try it out. You can leave out the year if you want. I won't rate your answers, but if you give some such experiences or stories along with your answers then I will.
