The smartest, and most inspiring thing I have ever heard was said by Tom Hanks, "As long as you keep breathing the sun will rise tomorrow."

'Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold- too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.

I remember those days, where learning was fun. I wanted to be involved. Now that Im in high school, theres not a lot of motivation with teachers. The ones that motivate you are the rare ones. Some just say what you have to learn and you have to learn it on your own. I don't find that learning for me. It's kind of stressing me, because over the years, I feel like I have not learned anything on some of the classes I have taken. It feels like Im waisting my time.

I have been working on a remodel of a high school and the other day I was passing a classroom and heard the teacher to say " It is ok to kill but only if you know your views and beliefs are right and You feel the other 99% of the population is wrong" I stood by the door and listened a little more and the teacher was teaching basicly that you can't end violence so you might as well use it to your advantage. I told the office what I heard and they say that is well in school guidlines I also told the districts super what I heard and he also said it is in district guidlines and even if it wasn't they couldn't do nothing without censoring the teacher and violating her rights and risking a suit,
My question to you isn't this just teaching hate and criminal activity without consequences towards the teacher?

I cannot take away recess or give afterschool detention for legal reasons. So far I've tried silent lunch, but the kids honestly just don't care. I don't like the idea of assigning extra homework because that would give homework an even more negative connotation than it already has. I'm tired of lecturing my students about it, and I'm tired of providing incentives to do what should already be done. I feel like today's kids perform when they know there's something in it for them, and I just don't like that. So I feel like I'm kinda stuck. Any ideas? I appreciate any sincere replies, especially from those who are actually in education.

Question 1
How have you taken advantage of the educational opportunities you have had to prepare for college?
Throughout my years in high school, I feel that I have taken advantage of what my school has to offer. I have challenged myself by taking Accelerated, Honors, and AP classes. As a sophomore I took accelerated English, Honors Chemistry, and AP World History. Then during the summer, I went to Long Beach City College to take Intermediate Algebra and Spanish 3 because I wanted to be in AP Calculus AB and AP Spanish Literature in my senior year. As a junior, I took four AP Classes with two Honor classes which kept me busy especially since I was president of the French club. Being bilingual, I challenged the AP French Language exam and passed with a 4. Now as a senior, I am challenging myself by taking 4 AP classes: Calculus AB, Chemistry, Physics B, Spanish Literature, and 2 Honors classes. I took the toughest courses because I wanted to be able to demonstrate that I am willin..

I have met several home schooled children in my life, and I find that they are quite different from other kids. Are parents who choose homeschooling actually doing their children a disservice?
