Education & Reference - 30 January 2007

The school counselors at my school are COMPLETE morons. They are always trying to put you into classes that you do not even need, and when it comes to senior year, you find out that you are missing a bunch of classes. Luckily, I check the requirements to graduate and the requirements to go to college so I already KNOW what I need. I am DONE with science, I took my two lab science and two other sciences; I am a Junior. All that I need is 12th grade English and Gov. & Economics. I go to the office today to make sure that the idiot doesn't screw up my schedule and he is trying to tell me that I need to take science, take this and that, when I KNOW that I am DONE. He also put me into a bunch of classes w/o asking or even telling me. And when I tell him that "I do not need science or math", he goes on to say "well, I do not know". WTH?! This same exact BS is why my friend (who is a senior) is taking THREE English classes because the counselors did NOT give her the classes she needed.

I got my answers that this diploma is almost worthless.
What is the point in these LD kids to stay in school when they are going to get a certificate that will not enable them to further their education let alone get a decent job? It
boils down to what is the difference of having a IEP diploma(certificate of completion) and being a drop out
when you can not move ahead? I am sorry to be asking
so many questions about LD because I am LD and I care
about LD kids today.
In my days I was told by teachers,psychiatrists and my own parents that I have no right to an education and was told to give up on myself.This was in the 1970s.
Is it because the teachers did not care or did not have
the resources to know what to do to help underacheiving kids?

I am worried that a 218 rank out of 782 is not good enough. How high does my rank have to be to get into a good college? I am thinking about going to Georgia Tech to study bussiness management. I am also taking 2 AP classes next year(LA and World History). Am I on the right track?

I don't recall being able to get on the internet and ask people for answers regarding homework. I believe we used to have to revert back to the books to find the answers to our questions. Isn't this teacing the younger generation the easy way out? They're not actually having to work for what they need to find.

What is your opinion on this?

For example the word "won't" is a shortcut for "Will not"
So what's the complete word for "aint" and please tell me what it means exactly and why don't we use the word "not" instead?
Thanks.

I am a freshmen in college and I would like to pursue a career as a physician assistant. My current major is healthcare administration with a minor in gerontology. I really don't want to major in any science (bio or chem). All PA schools require that you finish certain prerequisites, but most also say that they do not care what you major in as long as you finish those courses. However, would a Bachelor's in Nursing better prepare me for PA school? Would it give me more of an edge when I apply? Or is healthcare administration an okay major to stick with?

We have book reports about every six weeks in my English class. I don't mind, I love to read. However most of my class only read during book report time (usually the last week) because they want a good grade. They'd rather be going shopping and going to parties than having a quiet time (about an hour or so) reading. I find it really sad, especially since nearly 40% of my graduating class will have a reading level of a fourth grader. This isn't because they don't know how to read, they do, they don't take the time to read. When book report time comes around they get a great grade for a book they read in three minute or got the cliffnotes from the store. This only points out the highlights. When they do read they get bored and never rate a book a ten. They always whine about reading and say it's a waste of time. I can only say if they read then maybe they'd know words like diligence with having the teacher explain it. Or they'd actually know people like Pocohantas were real, and not a

If I decide to take AP Chemistry next year, I have a choice of taking AP Biology online because I already taking Honors Chemistry and I have an A. Is taking AP Biology hard if I take it in the internet? Is it even harder if I take it while I take AP Chemistry for 90 minutes in school everyday?
