Education & Reference - 22 March 2007

How do you keep an intrest in your book you're forced to read? For school, I have to read a book called Brady. It's really boring, but I have to read it so I wont fail English Class in school.

I also have a question packet about 4 or 5 questions that I have to answer after I read every 2 chapters. And yes, they are long chapters. I have trouble reading (but my mom is going to hire a tutor) and I am in 5th grade. I dont even have "backround knowledge" about the time of it. Like it was in the 1860's. I dont know anything about the 1860's or anything that actually happened.

Anyway, I just need help on how to keep an intrest in a book I HAVE to read. Please Help!

Is it instilling previously prooved ideas into a student's mind or to allow them room for developing some of their own? I have had both types of teachers, and i like the latter better. What is your opinion?

I have about 28,000 in student loans. about 5,000 is fixed at 6.8% and the rest is variable rates, around 7%. I graduated in December and am still in my grace period. So should I consolidate now, where I would get about 6.75% interest rate to start out or should I wait and see if I can get a lower interest rate in the future. I've heard there's a chance interest rates could take a big dive in the next few months.

I will be graduating from college in May and I have no idea what to expect. Do you usually stay in touch with your friends or do you drift apart from them? Also, what do people do for fun once they are no longer in college? Is it hard to make new friends?

i'm doing a research thesis paper and already have some good sources, i'd just like additional information.

i'm focusing on the fact that male and female brains are different. i'm also focusing on the traits of empathy and systemizing, and tying that into the roles that mothers and fathers play.

if you know any good books or websites for or against my thesis please source them. thanks in advance!
