Education & Reference - 2 January 2007

Two points

I asked a friend, a rebel and non-conformist if there ever was one, what he would set for a curriculum for school children. He replied, "Just the 3 R's, reading, writing, and arithmatic, then I would let them do what they wanted."

Q: What do you think would happen then, considering the fact that school is supposed
to prepare you for life?

Second
In a book about Nepal, it showed a young man, part of a remote village, who had been rescued by some artisans and taught to paint wooden boxes in the style of the art of the area. It showed how he first learned the outlines of the traditional designs, and then how to shade the outlines, eventually how to color them and apply them to the boxes (like blanket chests!). He had no other education to speak of.

I would try to get him proficient in the 3 R's ..so no one would dupe him. What else do you think he would need?

Do you think US could ever downscale its eductional requirements in such a fashion?

Let's just say the college students says they are going to study at 8pm well by the time 8pm comes the student starts to whine and says "I dont wanna study, maybe tomorrow." Why the student delays her study time? What makes the her do that? Does that means she is lazy? Please explain and let me know what u think.

I need to present my project, which is a powerpoint, tomorrow, and I'm really scared and totally nervous about it. I'm not used to presenting and talking in front of people, and the fact that I only have 2 friends in that class makes it more scary. Now I'm thinking of not going to school tomorrow, but I can't since that would affect some school thing that I have.

What do I do?

Please help. Any advice would be very appreciated. :)

I teach a medical terminology class to adults at a local community college.

I was looking for some fresh ideas for this upcoming semester.

Anyone out there have any suggestions for some activities to do with the students.

I teach a body system lecture and go over the medical terms associated with that body system each class time.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a brother who wants desperately to become a lawyer in California but neither he nor the rest of my family knows which schools he should be applying to aside from San Francisco University and UCLA.

Thank you for your time.

Someone might have asked this, or I'm just a complete idiot, but if you complete a Associates at a Junior College, when you go to a University, do you have to go an extra four yours to get a B.A. or just two (in speaking, I mean a 4 year degree)?
