Education & Reference - 24 March 2007

Isn't it scary how inadequate education seems to be for the youth today? The youth are posting question on Yahoo! that are spelled so poorly and so poorly formulated, especially minority youths, that I am very concerned about their futures, their abilities to have good careers and to have happy lives. Basic spelling and grammar and literacy are lacking and I'm not talking about the regular IMing shortcuts that the youth are doing to communicate.

Have you noticed these failures in basic education and what are your thoughts and concerns about this scary lack of basic skills!

Does Irvine Valley College have an agreement with UCI that guarantees admission to UCI?
Is it very competetive? Does anything lower than a C on your transcript make getting into UCI difficult?

My friend has started using this word lately and I don't know what it means. He's also started saying "nugget."
This is slang, but for what?

By the way, If there are any special education teachers out there that could give me some advise, that would be great!

I know people immediately judge people in a bad way do to their speech and communication. It's more harshful in America, but what about other places such as Africa, Australia, Europe, and etc.

Yesterday my teacher told our class that she and most of the other teachers would stop teaching and go on strike if the school district didn't raise the teacher wages. my teacher said that she and other teachers get $60,000 a year. She is outraged because she says she has a masters degree and works really hard. She believes that she deserves at least $100,000 a year.

I am 19 and I want to become a Nurse Midwife. I am currently in college right now. I am going into nursing but I have to be put on a list to be in the nursing program. I am in pre-nursing right now but the waiting list goes up to 2010 and my name isn't on it yet because we have to meet certain standards first. I just wanted to know if there is anything else that I can do to become a Nurse Midwife a little faster.

The answer should have been the Hoover damn.
Combined with its top thickness of 45 feet, there is enough concrete (4.5 million cubic yards) in Hoover Dam to build a two-lane highway from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida. Or imagine a four-foot wide sidewalk around Earth at its equator. check it out, it's very interesting.

Now here is another for you? What structure was built so massive that it can circle around the world at the equator five times? That should be easy enough if you look it up.
First one to get it right wins!
