I've been trying to think of ways to raise the money, and I'm thinking that if I write to local businesses explaining the Oxford summer program, they might possibly donate to the cause. I just don't know how to go about writing a letter to the businesses. Any suggestions?

I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision by dropping out of the nursing program but I really didn't like it. I don't want the liability of hurting someone. What do you think as far as the job market (opportunity and pay) goes between a business major in comparison to nursing major?

Im a teacher in a pubic school and I see our children falling thru the cracks. The teachers these days dont care as much as they use to and all the principals care about is whos has the best school in the district. There is alot of pressure on the kids to do well on tests that sometimes determines where they will end up and the basic instruction is neglected.. The school system has a big part in the education of our children. And the public school system SUCKS!!!! On the other hand, there is not enough parental involvment. A lot of these kids dont have anyone to care about their education, like checking their homework, or going to a PTA meeting, or volunteering in the schools. Why does education have to start once your child gets into kindergarten? It should start at home.. tell me what you think....

The reason why I ask is because I personally noticed if I use the title "Dr." in front of my name (whether stated or written), people tend to treat me better or differently (with more patience and respect) versus if I don't use the title. I truly did earn it but wonder how some people view this. What are some of your opinions? Thanks!

I'm fourteen and a half, the appropriate age to take drivers ed and I really want to hurry up and get it over with but I really don't have a ton of time to do it in a classroom. My school doesn't offer it so I would have to do it at another school which I'm okay with but it would be a lot easier if I could just take it online. I read in my seventeen magazine that I could take it online at www.driversed.com Do you have any other suggestions? Do I have to pay for drivers ed at all whether it's online or in a classroom? If so, about how much?

I am writing a script, and I am trying to think of things that would represent the idea of success through trial and error. It could be a famous book that relates to this, or some kind of photograph of a historic person or event that has to do with this idea.

I have demur on my skill after I joined this new company which no one has experience in my area and I need to set up the procedure which I have difficulty in. My superior can't really help me as he is new in this area and I can feel that the person here look down on me and it is difficult for me to continue working here even though I try very hard to pick up. I feel so demoralize if I continue to work here but if I quit, I may not get a job soon and I need to cater for all house expenses and school fee. I need to upgrade to gain more knowledge but If I take up this course, I need ample time to study and can't take up too stressful work....Help!

Should I go for a junior post /part time job and pursue my degree course for three years or should I continue working here..? Do you have any better advise and suggestion for me.

Thanks,
Shane

I used a dry erase marker on my board then left it on while the board wasn't in use for a few months, now it won't come off. Is there anything I can use to take it off? I tried alcohol, hairspray, windex, orange clean, sticker remover, and soap scum remover.

Would Montessori be a good fit for a child with Asperger's or a traditional school? My 8 year old has it very mild but the I know some of the boys find him a little different. He is also very smart and most 8 year old in his current class are not into the same types of stuff he is into like history, traveling, etc. He has a hard time fitting in with most boys since he is sensitive but he does get along with the girls better which my husband gets worried. I just thought he would thrive better at a Montessori setting but would it be too competitive?

I need to have a fundraiser. We need only about $60 for each of 12 highschool kids. Me and some students are going to beat the system and not give the money to our school because there is someone with access that is stealing the cash. I needs to be a bit of a DL plan.

By the way that is 720 dollars.
