I think homework is the worst educational idea! You sit in school for 6 hours and then you go home to do about 2-4 more hours of homework. then adults say "wait until your older and then you have to have a job"! that's just the point, we aren't adults yet so let us have our childhood while we are young. Also, homework can take way to much time. I can learn how to do the pythagorean theorem by doing about 6 question, So why do we have to do worksheets with 40 questions. Also, school is for learning and homework is to review so why do teachers waste our time by making us read chapters and take notes by ourselves, we are teaching ourselves. Are some teachers really that lazy that they make us read the chapter? another point I have is homework over vacation, Vacation is time off where you don't work, homework is work to be done at home! Lastly, it is more annoying that the only people who understand are the kids because most adults have to compare today to their friggen childhood!

I have a ten year old son who was nominated by his teacher to an academic academy in Illinois and he was accepted. However the problem is that it is $1700 for one week. He will be attending in the beginning of the summer. His father and I would like to be able to split the cost. So I need some ideas to make $850 within the next month or so. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

I have recently been accepted to both of these schools, but I have no idea which one to choose! I'm interested in the social sciences or humanities.

Most likely something in International Studies combined with Political Science or English.

Anyone have any (credible) insight into the differences between both schools?? (besides the social atmosphere b/c i know that California and the East coast ivy league are very different)?

Hello everyone,
My friend and I had a discussion about grammar, and we disagree on which form is correct. I guess it could depend on how you group the phrase.

In the first case, you could be thinking of all the wives who belong to your friends, and choose one of them.
"One of [my friends' wives = their wives] is sick."
(One of the wives of my friends is sick.)

In the second case, if you think of all your friends, then pick one of them, he (or she!) would have (most likely) one wife.
"[One of my friends' = his] wife is sick."
(The wife of one of my friends is sick.)

Although I appreciate everyone's willingness to help, please don't reply citing one or the other as correct just because it "sounds right". I am looking for solid, grammatical rules to support one or the other.
I'm not much of a grammar stickler, but it just bothered me that my friend and I weren't able to come to a concensus. Hopefully, you guys will be able to help us out!
Thanks in advance for all your help!
