Education & Reference - 25 January 2007

I'm having sort of a rough time finding any; I'm planning on majoring in Astronomy, and the only ones I've found are specifics (specifically for graduate students, university-specific, must do our internships-specific, etc.). I don't feel comfortable with those big sites like FastWeb because they require my home address and other personal info, although I'm sure it's all safe for the most part.

Do I just have to keep trudging through the neverending websites or is there a better way?

I teach 8th grade and I've always believed in being respectful, fair, consistent, energetic, and caring to the kids. Sometimes I feel like they are too young to understand that when I treat them well and pay attention to them and their lives, that those things are done to help motivate them and get them through the middle school years. As the year progresses, I usually run into increased disrespect, like this week for example. I know if I come in the door and act stern and even speak loudly and firmly, they'll listen and not get out of line. I'd rather not do that, but sometimes I have to. When I do, it doesn't sit well with them because they are used to me having a positive attitude.

I try hard not to deviate from how I feel things should be done, but sometimes I feel like they aren't old enough to get it and that I should change how I handle them. I'd just like to hear people's thoughts on this and if anything has worked for you in the past or if you have any suggestions.

I screwed up in chemistry, where I used to have an A, but after the start on November, I began to struggle with it. The teacher that teaches us did and still does a poor job at teaching and assumes that we know everything. We were given a test today, and all the stuff on it was stuff we haven't even learned how to do,all thanks to his poor teaching. I have thought of ideas on what to do, stay in this class and hire a tutor, or drop this class to be in a lower, easier chemistry class. Any ideas would help please. Can you give me an idea on what to do?

Tommorow I have a big earth science honors midterm exam. Our teacher told us the test has 180 questions, and we have about an 1.5 hours to do it. So, I figure that is about 2 questions per minute.
Does anyone have any good tips for taking these kinds of exams? I know that I have to work quickly, but how quickly? Should I try to have enough time to check it over at the end? Thanks all.

Assuming a teacher makes a point to correct students' errors in grammar and pronunciation when talking in class, should a teacher instruct a black student who uses the word "axed" to instead say "asked"?

Could anybody help me answer this question?

I would usually do this myself, but I have been working on this for hours...
Please help me if you can.


You have to figure out the "mystery" number.
Here are the clues given to help figure out what the number is.

-The number has six digits.
-The product of the 1st and 4th digit equals the last two digits.
-the 3rd digit is the product of the first two digits
-the 4th digit is the sum of the last two digits
-the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digits are multiples of six.

Thanks for any of your help!

I've been having trouble adjusting my study habits. I recently moved and my old school used block scheduelle which meant I only had 4 long periods a day instead of 7 short ones. My entire study habit is based on that type of scheduelle, so now I'm having ALOT of trouble keeping up with assignments and homework on this 7 period sched.

Now I find myself even barely spending any time on homework, just basically 20-30 minutes here and there and thats it.

Anyone have any advice for this situation, or just anything to help study habits in general?
