Education & Reference - 27 April 2007

I have decided to begin teaching myself. (I'm in 7th grade.) The things I want to teach myself are English, Math, History, Geography, and Latin. What are some good websites that I can go to to get some "notes" or "lesson plans" for these subjects? I already have Latin.

I DO go to school, but since I moved to Virginia their curriculum is WAY TOO EASY. So during class, I am going to work on MY lessons. And don't say, "Well then you will fail." I won't. Everything they are learning for the first time now I have learned in 5th grade.

Which "fake words" bother you the most?

It drives me crazy when I hear people use the "term" conversate. Which ones get your goat, so to speak? :)

Is it Require or Requires?

This is a grammar question.
Fill the blank
Hammering nails ______ the proper tools ( Require or Requires) The subtleness is pretty confusing.

Bachelors Degree In two years?

I have been looking at Neumont University and have gotten letters from them. They offer an accelerated bachelors degree program in computer science in which the student finishes in just two years rather than four. However, I found out that the students go year round, that is, 10 weeks on, 3 weeks off, for 2 years. Their schedule is Monday thru Friday, 8am to 5pm. That would be my class schedule everyday, then I would only imagine the amount of work they get and study time. They don't have dorms, but rather apartments and use a shuttle to get to their classes. I would also be out of state and away from friends and family.

So my question is, would you want to go though this for 2 years, graduate with a bachelors and get a job that averages $60,000/year (according to the pamphlets they sent me and their website) or go to a close to come commuter college for 4 years get the same degree (but maybe not the same job), but have a much better schedule and have time for other fun things too.?

What are parents thinking about?

I cant understand why there are parents out there who think that it is ok to raise children to be disrespectful, spoiled, entitled and lazy. In my profession I see many parents who dont hold there children responsible for any of their behaviors. Do these parents really think that they are doing their children a favor when they fight the school on every issue that concerns their children? Do they really think that their children are going to be able to survive in college when they cant even complete a 5 problem math assignment on their own. Why do certain parents think it is the teachers fault that THEIR child is lazy? I wonder if they plan on going to whatever college their kid would be lucky to get into, to yell at the teacher b/c the term paper they assigned was too hard and stressful? They are raising kids who will be unemployable, dregs of society. Please help me out on this one.

Parent involvement?

This is just an open question, and I would like serious responses only please..

How do you feel about parents that just drop their kids off at school and treat it like free day care? Do you feel that schools should require parent involvement in their child's education?

I dropped out of high school early to take care of my disabled parents, and now want an education...?

I dropped out of high school at 16 to get a job and support my disabled parents, and now i'm still supporting them, 6 years later, and want something more out of my life except my current job when they pass away (it's not long, both are elderly, and quite disabled), but I don't want to leave them stranded, up a creak without a paddle. On thier current income, they can't survive, they get about $500 a month between the 2 of them, and it's very hard for them to get by. Not sure what to do, don't want to abandon them, but don't want to be left stranded either when they aren't around anymore.
