It's not that I don't try----he just don't like the greens------like most kids/toddlers. I figured the best I could do is give him those Flintstones Vitamines. Is this a good idea since he doesn't get all the good stuff from his vegtables? Is there something else I could do or use in conjunction with the vitamines?

My adopted son is 6 and he is learning new words at school. Quite often he will know it one minute and several minutes later he can't tell you what it is. I worry because we are having difficulties teaching him his abcs and counting. He can count up to 30, but doesn't recognize the numbers on the board. Do we need to do something more to help him? I wonder if he will need special ed? He is a very determined little boy and I would like to help him if I can. Could someone out there give me some information and suggestions?

He talks but not too clearly. He doesn't say any of his first sylables to any words. People that don't see him everyday dont even know what he's saying most of the time. Should I be worried?

My husband and I aren't really wanting to send our son to pre-school. Instid I'm wanting to teach him all of his basic smarts here at home. I'm a stay at home mom so I'd love nothing more than to teach my own kid. However I am sending him to public school when he turns 5. I was just wanting some advice/tips on how to teach my kid his ABC, colors, numbers, etc. I want to also teach him to talk better. I want to make it easy, fun, and stress free for him so he actualy likes learning. He has different books that teach those things really well and I work with him all the time, but he just doesn't seem to be getting it. At his age I would think you could get them started on those simple basics, right? What good advice could anyone give me---Please!?

I'm writing a persuasive essay for english. I have to come up with a good argument and in the essay convince my readers to agree with me.

And i was wondering if any of you have some good ideas i could use. Maybe give me an example of something you feel strongly about and could agrue and why. I'm currently in highschool so what would be some issues that would affect students/teens or staff in the highschool? Maybe some issues going on in the world today (things in the news or the war in iraq).

I just need some good ideass! Thanks everyonee

I graduated from undergrad aug '05, and I don't plan on attending graduate school for at least another year, maybe longer. My question is, how do I get three letters of recommendation (which is what most schools ask for) when I will no longer have contact with any of my old professors? I am taking a break from school to try my hand at starting a writing career, therefore when I do go back to school, I won't have any real professional contacts who could write recommendations either. What do I do?

I know in many areas Guidance Counselors are paid more than teachers. As a high school teacher, I take a LOT of work home. Does anyone know if Guidance Counselors have tons of work that they have to bring home too?

I love working with kids but I am sick of the amount of hours I have to put in to do a decent job for the money I make. Actually...the money isn't as much of a problem as the shear volume of work. It is taking away way too much out of my personal life which is why I am considering changing careers.

I have seen several fellow teachers burn out and retire. I believe it is the negative atmosphere we all perpetuate with constant complaining and feeding off each other. I am seeing it on this board with people who just seem to push the blame for their lack of enthusiasm and competence. Remember, where there is smoke, there is fire. If you get non-stop complaints and ridicule from all sides, maybe it is time for you to look at yourself.

I was one of them. Then I stopped hanging out with teachers, focusing on my classroom and goals, and controlling what I can and trying to get control of what I couldn't. Now, I am happy, stress free, home by 4-5 every day and never work on weekends and my kids are higher than any class in the school and higher than the "snotty" other schools.

This is not for me, its for my husband. He is planning on going back to school and is almost 20. I have tried Fastweb and some of the other well known sites and I dont like them. FAFSA is being a pain in the neck wanting his mothers tax info when he doesnt live with her... He is Hungarian/American (dual citizenship), child of surviving cancer patient and deceased Leukemia patient, former Boy Scout, and is supporting me and our soon to be born baby. What can he do? We do not want loans. Most of the scholarships are for minorities and it's irritating us. Please help, thanks.

I would like to work in an office type job dealing with IT and some sort of management. I'm not too worried about salary, although I would like to be making over 80k a year.
