I've often seen people talk about legacies when talking about college admissions. What is a legacy, and do they help with college admissions or anything like that?

I live in MD and recently a bill has been proposed that will have the public school system pay for the physical, occupational and speech therapies of special education students who are currently being homeschooled. I am curious as to what others...both in the special ed and home school community think.

As the mother of an autistic child, and someone who has done a fair amount of parent's advocate work, I generally discourage most families from homeschooling because in doing so they will loose all the ancillary therapy services they can get from the public schools. Few families are in a financial position to pay for these from private sources and insurance coverage for them is spotty. Also, special education budgets shrink every year, so the addtional cost is a factor.

As a homeschooler (of my other child) I feel that until the schools are willing to let my daughter join the drama club or play school sponsered sports, then no one group should be given special treatment.

I teach university-level Writing II and we will be doing group writing project. I am now sure, however, how much I can control this, but I am looking for some ideas to help ensure that my the project is fair for all of the students. I think I'll give a survey at the end, so students can tell me if one or two students slacked. I'll be giving both individual and group grades. Any other ideas? Thanks!

I once discovered in an English Dictionary a French word that describes a woman's beauty as being so striking that it was indistinguishable with hideous-a paradoxical and elusive beauty-I believe it was spelled jolly zed or jolie zed, but it was prounounced 'zollie led'. Help me if you can. Thank you, Rex

I currently have an English teacher who just seems to have it out for me. He has told my parents that I lack motivation even though I have a B in that class, he has given me bad grades on certain projects simply because he doesn't like me, and then has told my parents that he told us that we had to have a specific form with the project that we infact did not unless we spent more then $25. So my quesstion is how do I get back at this teacher who has walked all over me.

Next year I'll be looking at schools to go away to and I'm looking to go into business. And since my parents are telling me, "Missouri has to be in the schools name," I'd figure I better look in Missouri. So if anyone has any input let me know.
