Education & Reference - 11 April 2007

I cheated in a game of Scrabble and now I want to see if I can make this a real word. I think it means "something that is attempted to be passed of as genuine or authentic" like a genwenen artifact. Or if you have a better idea of what it should mean that would be great too.

I will be entering my junior year of high school next year and I can either take Honors Pre Cal or Advanced Functions and modeling. I can't decide what to take. I am not a fan of math, though I have done well with it in the past. I am also taking AP Gov, Ap Env. Science, and AP Language 11. My question is, if I want to go to a good college like UNC Chapel Hill, do I need to make it to Calculus in High school?

Again, computers in schools are taking away from the needed literary skills. Does anyone have a solution? I have found a few, such as:
*Complete new crop of learning software
*Use computers only during recess or relaxation periods.
Both of these ideas are great, but I am also looking at middle and high school students affected by this.
This is for a Problem-Solution Essay, and I am stuck. Help!

Here are the lines::

1. It all started when
2. I had been here before
3. Nothing happened. Time stood still at that exact moment.
4. The time had come. I had to do it now before I backed out.. again.
5. I walked into the room and everyone started staring.


The story I'm trying to write should be somewhere around 5-7 pages long, so it's no novel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

My 16 year old son was asked to do an art project of any person. This
project consisted of making this persons face out of clay, then putting in a
kiln. My son chose Hitler. The reason he chose Hitler was because he was
learning about him in his History class, which they have pictures of Hitler
on the wall in his History class, so he thought that would be easier for him
to do. When he showed his teacher, she refused to put it in the kiln and is
failing him, giving him an E. The reason she is failing him is because she
was offended. I went to the superintendant of the school, who agreed with
the teacher. I believe this is discrimination. They teach my son about
Hitler in history class, but yet he cant make a art project out of what he
was learning? Hitler is a part of our history if we like him or not. What if
my son chose Jesus, and our teacher was offended by that and failed him?
Where does it stop?

If it rains on the day of the movie, the movie trip is cancelled forever. There is a 20% probability of rain each movie day. How likely is it that the King's family will get to go to atleast 2 of the 5 movie trips.
