Education & Reference - 8 March 2007

I'm especially surprised by how quick so many SF Bay Area private schools and parents are today to hold back and dismiss age eligible kids as not ready for Kindergarten just because their 5th birthday falls later in the year (June-November). It seems more a tactic for schools to weed out candidates and for parents to ensure their kid excels (in sports, class, etc.). Is it really in the best interest of the child especially for those kids so eager to learn and experience new things, and seemingly ready in many other ways? If children aren't progressively challenged and inspired in these critical early years, their interest in learning in the long run could detrementally be impacted.

Would you hire someone with a professional demeanor and a distance degree from a developing country (but still an American or a legal immigrant), especially were such employee all you could afford?

I received my Associates in Business Administration from Nichols College, and my final GPA was a 3.87. Before that, I went to the University of Montana for a semester and received a 3.8 GPA. I am keeping my Business degree, because I already have so many credits toward it, but for the past year I have been taking classes part time to satisfy my pre-med pre-reqs. I am taking these classes at one of the City University of New York campuses, but I'm transfering to a school out west to finish up undergrad full time as I'm getting out of the service. As long as I keep my GPA around a 3.9 and do well on my MCATs, should I have a good shot at getting in? Also, will being in the military better serve me, as it adds diversity to my resume?

I went to a community college about 10-11yrs ago. Didn't do too well due to certain circumstances at the time and dropped out. Now years later I have re-enrolled and am in the middle of my 2nd semester. I received A's & B's last semester and am currently on track to receive the same grades again in my classes this semester. Obvioulsy life is much different now in my late twenties then when I was 18. I am completely dedicated to finishing school first at the community college and then transfering to another school to get my Bachelors. I just received a call from the school counselor saying I am up for academic dismissal because of my grades from 1996???? I am totally surprised. Can they actually do this? I am going to meet with someone on Monday.

I have a essay to write, and I wanted to get other people opinion as I'm writing it.
This is the information I was provided with:



The Evergreen School Board is meeting later this week to decide whether a high school student with a disability should be allowed to participate in competitive athletics at Mountain View High School.

The student was born with a disability and is unable to walk on his own.

Those against his participation claim that it is a risk to his safety and the safety of other athletes.

Those who would like the boy to participate say that all students should have an equal opportunity to compete.

The school board is asking student representatives at Mountain View to contribute to the decision.
