iam quite confident, but have absolutely no idea on a few bits in some topics, no matter how much my teacher explained them and no matter how much i used books and internet. iam sure they are going to come up. apart from the subject matter, iam far more nervous thinking of entering that exam hall and sit there for 2 hours calm. what to do?

"I wasn't sure where I was, and I knew that New Orleans is referred to as a quote, "checkerboard city", one minute a safe neighborhood and the next a bad," she says.

I know this is wrong, but how do you put a quotation in a quotation, or can you?

If so, that would seem to invalidate the theory that immunizations can cause autism. If not, then this strengthens the theory that vaccines are the cause of the increase in autism. I am interested to hear the different points of view on this topic.

I was homeschooled until I was 14. I started college at the age of 16. I graduated early with a 3.5 GPA while working 30 hours per week. Throughout my education, I was 2 grades ahead in math & science. I was actively involved with homeschool groups. I've met hundreds of homeschoolers in my life.
That being said, I would like to pose some questions. These are NOT personal attacks and you don't have to justify anything to me. I'm just curious as to the motivation behind homeschooling.
#1. What is your highest level of completed education?
#2. Why are you homeschooling your children?
#3. What impact do you believe homeschooling has on your child's social development? ("None" is not an acceptable answer)
#4. Should anyone be allowed to educate their own children? Why?
#5. Through what grade level do you plan on teaching your children? Why?
