Education & Reference - 31 January 2007

The assignment is to create a paragraph comparing the greta purge and animal farm, Please read this and tell me if anything is wrong or if there is something that would sound better if it were changed. Thanks in advance for the help. ( the topic sentence MUST be used so it cant be changed )

'Chapter seven of Animal Farm is an allegory of Stalin’s Great Purge. First of all, both were lead by dictators who used “secret police” to gain control of society. For example, Joseph Stalin was a dictator in Great Purge who used the KGB ( secret police ) to control those under him. Similarly, Napoleon is a dictator in the Animal Farm Revolution who used dogs to maintain the order of his people...... (rest in additional details)

I'm on a bunch of education/teacher mailing lists. All the members do is talk about research findings on one method of teaching or another. Why have teachers lost the basic core of understanding what education is all about--mainly what is worth learning, and the differnce between education and training. The way the educators and educational researchers refer to students sounds more like they are training seals than educating human beings. Are people in education clueless or is it just that old adage, those who can do, those who can't teach?

Hi,

I applied to a graduate school and I'm going to visit there tomorrow. There is a tour twice a day. In addition, what departments should I visit and what else should I follow up on? I already have the financial aid office in mind just to ask questions about grants and scholarships. Should I dress a certain way? What kinds of questions should I ask? Thanks.

For this question of mine i need some help from those ppl who are in Canada and in British Columbia.
Iam interested in studying pharmacy in ubc, but don't understand exactly where to start from.Currently iam almost done with my grade 12 and when i contacted ubc they told me that i can't directly apply from grade 12 and that i need to do atleast one year of bachelor of science.The problem is that if i start doing the one year program there i won't be done by next year and their application deadline is somewhere in feburary.
Some of u might think that why iam asking here and not talking to the advisors in university.....well i did and and everytime i called....talked to different ppl and they had different opinions.
There must be someone here who either goes to ubc to study pharmaceutical sciences or has done it recently.....and can give me some advice and guidance.
Thanks in advance
p.s which colleges and universities offer that bachelor of science besides ubc in British Columbia

I know there are "tutoring" sites, but I wonder what it would be like to start a web page where I take money from spoiled, lazy rich kids. For example, are there any existing sites that just plain do homework for such people for a fee?

This way, we reduce their funds and dumb them down at the same time, bringing more socioeconomic equality to the world (and make a little profit). I figure they're going to cheat or buy there way up in life anyway, might as well take a piece of the action.

Many high school students are pressured to go to college when it's not the best choice given their talent, career interest, and maturity level.

Sometimes college is actually NOT a good decision. (I speak from both personal experience and endless examples of successful people without college.)

Right now Im a senior in HS and I want to be a pharmacist. I know I have to complete my pre-requisites which should take about 2 years tops before applying to Pharmacy school. I originally applied to University of Florida but unfortuanately was denied. I did get accepted to Florida State. They do not have a graduate pharmacy program like UF does but it is possible to complete the prepharmacy courses. FSU is 400 miles away from home. Should I leave for 2 years just for prepharmacy classes when I know I wont be there any longer than that or should I stay home and go to a community college instead? Its an important decision that I had all figured out until UF denied me and all my plans changed. I appreciate any suggestions
