Okay,
I recently started homeschooling my 5 year old because he was falling behind, due to a crowded classroom, an unorganized k-5 program, and a teacher who truly did not care to teach! He has done very well with homeschooling, but how can I be sure that he stays on target, incase we decide that he should return to public school next year?
He is very advanced in Language Arts, but we are pretty stuck in Math and Science. Does anyone have any checklists for kindergarten curriculum? We live in Florida, but info. from any state would be very helpful.

What is the difference between "alive" and "live"? And, specifically, which would I use: "An alive [noun]" or "A live [noun]"? If the noun matters, it is a mouse.
Thanks!

The percentage of men on America's college campuses is steadily declining. Research suggests that college women may soon outnumber college men by a ratio of 3:2. What do you believe to be the causes of this trend? Is this a problem for our colleges and universities? For our nation?

The English Church was established and Catholics were denied from their rights to vote. The religious freedom of Catholics in Maryland was restricted until after the Revolutionary War.
Catholics have suffered when their rights have been prevented. Catholics have not always fought for their rights as well as they could have. At the same time, the struggle of Catholic leaders, among both the clergy and laity, has greatly improved the human rights of the entire country. The Catholic Church has made great contributions in many areas in the United States in its schools, its hospitals, and charitable works. Catholics have also made significant contributions in the United States in science, literature, the arts, and social justice

I am studying in community college right now. I planned to transfer to a UC, and then I'll go to a medical school. However, one of my frds (she is a premed too) said she is going to transfer to a CSU. Cuz it is easier to get good grade in CSU. Thus, she will have a high GPA, which means it may be easier to become accepted into a med school.

1)Should I transfer to a UC or CSU if I want to go to med school? (well, u may get a better GPA in a CSU)

2)I want to go the med school of Davis. Should I transfer to Davis and receive my B.A. degree there, then apply to Davis med school? Or I should receive my B.A. degree in other UC (or CSU?), and then apply to Davis med school? (Do Davis med school admission officers flavor those from Davis or from some other university?)

3)Since I am spending 3 years in community college for Prerequisites of science. Will medical school look down on me because I take those courses in community college?

“I used to want ‘she tried’ on my tombstone, but now I want ‘she did it’ instead,” said Katherine Dunham. Even though I deeply admire Ms. Dunham’s determination, I have to admit that I always fall short of that kind of strength. Yet, during my freshman year at Trinity I feel as if I have reinvented myself, for I no longer wait for things to happen, I make them happen instead. Miraculously unbelievable at first, especially to my parents, I was actually eager to learn and to reach my potential.
I was denied admission to Rice University last year, a wise decision by the Committee on Admission. However, since then, I’ve add a new edge of competitiveness, and a never-settle-less-than-my-best attitude to my resume. As I was reading my personal essay from my last application to Rice, I realized that Li Bai’s moon and cup no longer defined me as they used to. My Chinese heritage is simply nice bonus to the entire package.
Discipline, submission, and conformity bettered me, while restrained me from further improvement. While making my homework or papers to absolute perfection, I only complete the assignments that I was assigned and never one problem more. This paradox has always troubled me from fulfilling my potential, resulting in a malevolent mediocrity that I had to carry around for as long as I can recall. Yet, as I entered college, I begin to recognize that blaming my mediocrity with my cultural heritage is probably the last thing I should do if I want to succeed. Although I understood that starting from college is a bit late, I began a battle within myself.
While I still respect authority and thrive on humility like no other, I learned to be competitive and ambitious. My first experience with competition in college was during the HUMA 1600 course. Given a choice between two courses composed of a seminar with a writing workshop and a six-hour course on the readings from the western culture, I resolutely selected the latter, thinking that it would probably be as hard as an AP course. However, I was wrong. Only a few days into the semester, numerous students dropped out of the course because the syllabus show a total of eighteen papers. The beginning of HUMA was difficult as I struggled to write about Odysseus or Clytemnestra, characters I have never even heard of until then. Yet, as Telemachus embarked on his rite of passage, I began my journey to maturation as well. The Western ideas are no longer the blurred imageries that I had blindly followed, for I was learning the hows and whys. “As we go about our daily lives, we are taking things for granted much too often” was among one of many things that my HUMA professor said during our first class. I eagerly adapted to the challenges this course had offered, and I learned my limitations. Surprisingly, there was none. I learned to cherish setbacks as much as I treasure accomplishments.
Even though HUMA had brought my GPA down, I have never regretted taking it. I may not be the brightest student in that class, but I was the most hard-working. Ds on my first papers will only make me to try harder. Being with better students will only encourage me to improve my own shortcomings. As Ms. Dunham’s quote hanging above my desk, I no longer settle for simply trying. After receiving an A on my final paper, I decided to apply to Rice again.
I knew I was ready.
Instead of focusing on my experience as an ESL student, I discovered that my transition from China to America can’t simply define me. It’s my newly acquired determination and motivation that will give me the edge of competitiveness that I will need in the future. Never giving up and settling for anything less than my best, I am prepared to face new challenges and conquer new fears.

He watches as the cold blood from his wrist,
onto the cold floor,
The razor falls from his hand,
as he took his last breath,
he slowly fades away,
slowly death leads him to the gates of hell,
he left without no note,
no reason why,
he left witout saying gooodbye,
hes no longer in pain,
they hoped he left in pace instead pain,
theres nothing left to gain,
their all grieving
their hearts bleeds,
their fears are coming true,
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what they know now,
their hearts screaming,
breaking the silence,
he life ended so fast,
OH GOD WHY!?!?!?
WHY DID HIS LIFE ENDED SO QUICKLY!?!?!?
WHY?!?!?!?!?...................
oh god why!

I have a boy who was 14 he cursed at the priciple and they kicked him out for the whole yr. No other school will take him, and this was all 2 yrs. ago Now he don't want to go back to the 7th grade to be 2yrs older than everybody. But if we kept the kid out for a week we'd be up on charges. Any ideas? He doesn't have the knowledge to take the G.E.D. test. I'm at a loss.

I don't get homeschooling! How does it work? Do you get a professional teacher to teach? Do they come to your house or do you go to somebody elses? Do you do it with a group of kids or would you be all by yourself?? How much money would it cost? Wouldn't it be consfusing and hard to learn like this? And how do you get into it in the first place? I know these are alot of questions but I'm currious!
