Education & Reference - 8 May 2007

I live in the US, but watch alot of BBC shows and series. In general, I always keep a dictionary and also a pretty big/comprehensive world atlas. I have been watching Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares and sometimes i'm not able to find some of the locations in my atlas. One of the towns was Ambleside, another King's Lynn.

I`m now a grade12 student in my highschool.I came to Canada 9months ago, but because I was a newcomer and ESLstudent,I didn`t take PHYSICS12,CHEM12,and of course, English12. Now,I`m graduating with some other courses,but I need to take those three courses for entering university.I have decided not to go to college because my marks are very high and I just don`t wanna destroy them by taking college courses. I`m now 18 and I can stay another year in highschool taking 3 courses. But because it will take me a whole year to pass them,I`d rather to go to adult school to pass them in like one or two terms.But my parents and especially my older brother insist that I’d better remain in my school another year than go to adult school,because the adultschool teachers do not really help students especially in English courses.On the other hand,I`m really afraid of taking English12 in my school next year,because almost all of the students will be native speakers.I’m really confused…pls help me!

I am a community college professor and would be interested to hear about your experiences in the classroom. Do you teach any compressed format classes and if so, how do you keep your students alert and involved for three to six hours at a stretch?

If a teacher wants to show a movie in class, do they need to pay royalties or get some sort of permission from the owner of the movie to do it? I know people do it all the time but I wonder if technically it is illegal or not. Thanks for any response.

I spent this last semester busting my *** trying to get good grades. Up until about 2 weeks ago i looking at getting a 3.75. Then, in each of my classes i had one final assignment and for each one i got my *** kicked. Now i am looking at a 2.5 with one F. What is the ******* point of trying if all of your effort will end up meaning nothing because some ******* grad students decide to be stricter than all hell while grading your assignments? I don't know if i can do this any more.

I feel dumb...

On this math homework we had today, there was an INTENSELY simple problem. I believe (and I am pretty sure) that it was this:
3-4+7-2=
The given answers were (Also, pretty sure on these)
(a)-2 (b)-1 (c)0 (d)1 (e)2

My answer was 4... and the book is rarely wrong.

I don't really know much about student loans, but I do know that I could really use a good laptop for my graphic design and web design studies. I figured it would be only about a $5,000 loan, nothing to bad, I just need some suggestions. My parents are saying it's not a good idea, but I figure that I would be able to pay it off no problem. Please help me!
