I dont understand the quote thing for purchasing car, insurance, house, etc.
Why do we have to look for a quote for something?
Is it optional to get one?

The essay is against the idea that man is causing global warming. This is what I had in mind for the end.

Whether global warming is man made or not I think that nature will take care of itself and resolve its own problems, it already has for millions of years! The world will continue to spin one day at a time regardless of us. We can choose to worry and fret about what will happen or we can continue living our daily lives and let nature go through its natural cycles.

Is this good what do you think?

My signature phrase are words that I live by:

'You hate me, I hate me, now why can't we just hate me over a cup of coffee?'

It's a good, funny saying. But I don't suggest it as a pick-up line(Personal Experience).

Hello everyone

I had recently posted a message about my 6yr old daughter that might have to repeat kindergarden, i wanted to offer a more thorough explanation.

Firstly I had enrolled my daughter in a ESE program for children with either learning disabilities she went to a pre-K class last year she attended it at her current elementary school, at that point they decided to pass her to regular kindergarten and continue speech therapy, they said they would watch her to see how she does in regular classes, well my mistake was not to ask them what would happen if she didn't do well, I guess since the teachers were so optimistic, and i thought that kinder was as easy as it was when i was growing up,I thought she would be fine.

anyway after she started kinder we went to one meeting and they said she was doing well except for math, well that was about 3 months ago, now the teacher tells me she might be held up in kinder because of reading problems, and that she is doing well in math, well we only have 2 more months of school here in florida and I am of course worried, I mean I do have many books, and I do spend some time with her, however I am now also asking myself why didn't they put her in some sort of special ed class if she is a slow learner, and it's not as if they didn't know it since for her to be put on that program she went through a lot of tests in 6 months.

anyway I am a bit upset at myself also would I have known that kinder was sooo hard nowadays I would have done more that I have to this point, but in the same token there the experts and they should have known what to do with a child that has learning difficulties, maybe take her out of a normal kinder and put her in some sort of special ed class?especially since she is enrolled in that ESE program, there solution is for her to repeat kinder, and I don't agree as I have seen how much she has learned.

The teacher tells me that my daughter is very well behaved and gives it her all, but with reading difficulties she cannot pass to 1st grade, I really don't know whether I should fight this or not, because I know I am the parent and I take full responsabilty, however some does fall on them since they should have informed me of this sooner, had I known she would have to repeat kinder for failing to learn how to read, I would have focused more on reading and not so much on math. I figured they could put her in 1st grade special ed class instead of having her repeat kinder.

I however did order Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons recommended by someone here I also and did go to the starfall.com website, this is the first time I have had this kind of experience since she is my oldest daughter and my youngest is in Pre-K I had no idea kinds could repeat kinder, anyway I will ask them about summer school and what else I could do, but this has all caught me off guard, I just need some guidance when it comes to this, because we will be having a meeting soon, and I don't know whether to fight it or just let it be, in any event I just want to look out for my daughter, Thanks so much to all the caring folks on this site, I appreciate all your advice. sorry for the long message I made paragraphs but they don't show up for some reason.

your in a class.. your teacher or professor asks the class a question, you raise your hand and get the question right. Across from you, a girl that you barely know goes "omg, your soo smart".

The tiebreaker question comes up, and the team nominates you to take the guess, and that same girl goes, "don't worry she'll get it right, she's smart".. and then you get pressured and you get the answer wrong??

why do people feel the need to point this stuff and say it like a bad thing?? doesnt it bug you??? i mean its not like your some type of rocket scientist and yet people feel the need to emphasize something that makes one person feel uncomfortable.. and supposedly genius, while the other person reasonbly stupidER yet smug...

what's the deal here????

I know that gettting the actual position is case by case, and depends on the grades of those that you're up against, but what kind of average normally at least puts you in the running?
