Just had coffee with my Mom. She went back to college in her 50s now-she says the older male professors hate older women students who go back to college. She said one professor told her she would never get a job, even after she finishes her PhD because she is too old to be a professor and departments will view her as not being able to provide “longevity” in a college teaching career.

Do older male professors hate older female students who attend college?

When my husband is made redundant, we will have 4 children, the youngest of which will be 2 and a half. His plan is to go to college full-time to train for a decent career. I would also love to go, but would we be able to claim benefits during this time or would the govenment see it as our choice that we're not earning and refuse our claim? Anyone know?

You have a 500 ft^3, square-based, open-top, rectangular steel holding tank, Find the dimensions for the base and height that will make the tank weigh as little as possible.
So I know I have to use derivitives and the volume and area formulas, but they're not working. I know the answer is 10 x 10 x 5, but I can't get it. The formulas I have are: V(500)=lwh or s^2h and A=s^2+4sh. I can only assume my equations are wrong, but what's wrong with them??? Any help would be very much appreciated

Are there any colleges out there that would accept kids even if they dropped out, so long as they are very intelligent, of course?

As a "helping" teacher, I have to explain kids what they did not
understand in class.
I am a Dr in Engineering, lecturer, and have a pretty good knowledge of sciences & maths.
I am BAFFLED by what the ORDER in which they are learning "things".
IE: they are taught to resolve trigonometry problems of triangles
BEFORE understanding Pythagor's theorem... etc... WHY??????
So, I am writing on my website (www.skytargets.com) simple lessons on "things", that are available to any kid.
To cater for that superficial "knowledge" (forgotten the day after the test) and implement a form of LOGICAL progression, I need to establish a proper CURRICULUM, starting at the early age of 7-8 to the 16-18.

Please, provide me with some guidance, where kids will be learning things that are useful, and BASED ON PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE.
(Don't teach ax² + bx + c = 0 BEFORE teaching 1/2 + 6/5 - 1/3!)
If I have enough replies, I shall set-up a line on my website for this
purpose.
Thanks to you all.

It's a reach, but if I want to attend CU Denver's Pharmacy school, I have to have a 3.5 to even get an interview. I currently average 3.0 - 3.2 depending on which classes you average in (all my schools vs. only some)

I have 3 semesters left before I start applying, plus 2 summer semesters.

You know there are some short stories that are well-known like the Canterville ghost, the happy prince ...etc. Reading these stories for students of English is quite difficult. They have some kind of simplified versions. I am seeking these easy versions. If I can get with comprehension questions, I will be grateful in deed.
