Education & Reference - 11 January 2007

Yes filtering out pornography and all of these social sites for middle schools & elementary schools is fine but I think that at the high school level students do deserve more freedom to access whatever site they want on their own time as long as it is not porn or bad chat rooms.

Yes I know that some school filters can be overridden by using proxy's and we will always be able to find a way through but when you are researching a topic or something and the site you need on is blocked it would piss you off to and that is when you must resort to the proxy's and etc.

I just think there is a bit to much censorship for high schools.

I have a keyboarding/business system and technology class in school, and I already type fast enough, about 70wpm, BUT I only type with 3 or 4 fingers....we're learning how to type "properly", and about everyone else in the class can barley type and is at 5-20 wmp (which I find kind of funny , imagine those people typing up a 5 page report, Hell!), anyways, the teacher makes us use this keyboarding program to learn and practice how to type "quickly and efficiantly" ( fingers on home row, wrist up, blah blah blah), and I learned that I can just speed through it when she's not looking typing how I normally type, I was just wondering, to the older people out of highschool, do you guys actually type like that? I find it a lot harder for me to type "properly" how many people actually do it after learning how?

ok so im doing this assignment where theres a short excerpt from a story. and i need to write a totally different story but using the same format as in the short excerpt.
This is the sentence from the excerpt:

I pulled out the broom and tore out a batch of straws and tossed them into the fire
and watched them smoke, turn black,
blaze, and finally become white wisps of ghosts that vanished.

This is what i have so far:

I picked up the pen and pulled off the cap and laid
the point on the paper
and watched the ink overflow, become black, _______________________________________________.

Please help me find a way to replace those words in the sentence above, and place it in the blank above.

I had a 4.23GPA from up to my Junior year so I decided to take 4 A.P. Courses for my senior year ( I thought I could handle it). However at the end of the first semester my GPA is a 3.0 and I have a "D" (66.7%) in A.P. Chemistry. I now have 4 Cs and 1 A and 1 B+.
I decided to switch into College Prep Chemistry for my second semester because I need to get rid of the D on my transcript and decrease my work load. I'm going to tell the UCs I'm applying to about the change (Irvine,Berkley, Davis,LA,SB)
I was wondering whether it was still possible for me to get into the UCs with such a big drop in my GPA from Junior Year and a D.
Also I was wondering what I should tell them to improve my chances .
Thanks.
