Education & Reference - 11 December 2006

my daughter is twelve years old and about to enter high school, unfortunately, she is reading at three years below her year level.
her reading has been a problem from the early years, she shifted schools in the ACT during her years 3 and 4, missing out on the intensive learning support the gov. had supplied, as the school she was moved to had done the program the year before.
the years that followed were put in the to hard basket as she didn't meet the criterier.
are there any programs available that are not going to cost a fortune?
please help me address this issue and help her through her learning years!!!

I was thinking about pursuing a career in teaching. What do you like most about your job and what skills/traits do you need to be a good teacher? I love tutoring kids, but i've never done anything in a classroom setting. What are ways I can get some experience of teaching before I decide to get a masters degree in education?? I have no background in education or taken any classes like that.

Domino game… Am I odd or even?
The teacher separated the class into groups of fives. Each group was given a case of dominos. The teacher instructed each group that they had to find 3 dominos that had only even numbers on each side, 4 dominos that had only odd numbers and 3 dominoes that had both an odd and even number.

All right, so here's the deal:

I got a perfect score on my test to even gett ACCEPTED into my school bee (the only one in the school). I asked my teacher what I should do to study and she said ,"Don't study. Just relax, be yourself, and have confidence. Trust me, you'll do well."

I just don't understand how she expects me to do well in the competition if I DON'T STUDY! Any ideas? Should I listen to her? Or should I study as much as possible? I mean, the words in the test were from the booklet "Spell It!" and I had already studied all of them by the day of the test. NOW, the bee will consist of words from the Rancom house's Student Dictionary, which I unfortunately cannot buy or borrow because my parents will not let me (plus, I don't have a library card and cannot get one anytime soon). Help, please!

If you are a teacher please tell me if you like your job and if it was the right choice for you. Please tell me some of your likes and dislikes about your job, and how much work on average you usually take home at night.
