Either I take remedial courses in college next year or I study a lot in the next 5 months and take a placement exam to be put in a normal college class. How can I reteach myself the stuff I missed when I was sick and couldn't attend school? (I ended up failing Algebra 2 that year) I have two algebra books on hand for a limited time that I was thinking of copying some pages out of.

Ok, because teachers are evil, my Sociology teacher assigned a paper over Spring break. I need your help. If you could please send me 10-12 words that you think relate to 'aging' or 'old' you will be my next best friend (after the 15 people I have already promised die.) So for example, you might think that 70 is 'old' so that would be one of your words (or phrases) Please give your answers in list form. I have to get 14+ people this next week. If you do choose to participate, please include your Age, Gender, Location, and Ethnicity as these are all part of the assignment. If you don't include them I have to guess. Thanks everyone

Please give your answers in list form like this:
1. 70
2. walkers
3.
4.
etc
thanks!

Ok I have 2 questions. First of all, should I join the Academic Decathalon team next year in my junior year? I want to because I have done any extracurricular activities nor joined any clubs at school. However I'm taking a lot of difficult classes next year including AP U.S. History and AP Calculus. I'm already doing poorly in Math Analysis right now so I have a lot to study for Calculus next year. On the plus side, AcaDeca's theme for next year is the Civil War, I'd be getting a lot of practice for AP U.S. History. However, I've been told that AP Calculus is very time comsuming.

SO I thought about taking AcaDeca in my senior year... but don't you have to send your applications to the colleges in by November of your senior year? If I join the Academic Decathalon then, will it be too late?

So I have two questions: Should I join the Academic Decathalon next year or wait until my senior year of high school? Do the classes you take in your senior year count?

Thanks

We have been "told" that our school (K-5 grades) will be implementing a new lunch/recess schedule next year. This is coming from our Health Dept. through our Wellness grant right to our superintendent. In all the years I have taught (32), the children eat lunch and go directly outside for recess. Next year we will have to switch that schedule - now they will go out to recess and come directly in to eat lunch. We were given alot of "literature" to read about it but I would like to hear directly from some school systems and/or parents. What advantages do you see from this schedule? Disadvantages? How did you set up your lunch schedule? We have 18 classes with one cafeteria suitable for holding 6 classes but that's really too many. Hoping to hear from schools in various parts of the country! I am also on the committee to set this up, so looking for suggestions. Thank you!

I tried looking up info on grants, but most of the sites I found I have to buy a book to find out. Is there a way to find out if I qualify for grants without buying anything? And I don't know anything about financial aid, do you pay back the loan after graduating? And what if I don't qualify for financial aid? Sorry the question is so long but I have so many questions and can't find any answers.
