Education & Reference - 11 February 2007

There's a principal in our town that is absolutely horrible. Many students, parents and teachers have had problems with her and we want to get her out. The DOE (Department of Education) is too cowardly to get rid of her and she's very slimy. It seems that our complaints go nowhere and she continues to ruin the lives of kids in the community. What's the best way to put pressure on her so that she'll be held accountable for what she has done?

What does it mean when someone writes "Regards", and then their names. I know the meaning of it, but it doesn't make sense. The meaning I know is "look upon", or something.

the problem is set up like this

x-13 3x-3
---------- + --------
x^2-x-12 x^2-x-12


I have got
4x-16
-------
x^2-x-12

am I right?

I got this by keeping the denominator the same then taking
x-13+3x-3=x+3x=4x and -13-3=-16

I'm pretty tolerant of misspellings and of common errors, especially in a forum like this, it's not formal writing, so who really cares? BUT - there are some things that people should just know! Starting with that! Know vs no!

Other important things:

-Who's vs whose
-they're, their, there
-wit is a clever expression; with is the preposition that means "to accompany"

..and more.

Communication and language are the back bone of civilizations. Without the capability to effectively communicate with each other, our society will stop functioning!

Who agrees? Who disagrees? Why?
