My friend's daughter eats finger foods on her own. But if the food requires a fork or spoon, her parents feed her. Her Dad told me she drops food and makes a mess. Should they give her a bib and teach her, until she can do it on her own? I have worked in Pre-school before, the teacher had the children feeding themselves at meal times. Is it possible she may have a learning delay in a certain area of development? Help appreciated.

So basically, I got a 69.4 percent in AP US history 1st semester and my teacher wouldn't round it up to a C. I have to go on a mission trip to Ecuador this summer, and if I have to go to summer school for history then I can't go on the trip. How do I ask my teacher to round it up? (If she doesn't then I'm screwed.)

“The walk to high school” they called it, and as I walked across the stage last June at my eighth grade graduation I didn’t know what was in store for me. That long walk was directing me into my new phase in life. In that phase, I learned so much. Like how annoying it is when people just stop in the hall ways to talk, and when I realized that teachers won’t pass you for your own social benefit. The most important one though, was that I learned that when school starts, friends might not be the same when that school year ends.

Everyday I have the same schedule, and every day on my way to Algebra, I get stuck in the traffic. Just like in real life on the road, there are road blocks, and even though in the halls there are no traffic accidents, but there are the ever-so infamous people who stop in the middle of the hall and talk. This is by far one of the most annoying things a person can do. Not only do people scowl at these people as they walk by, but a lot of times they get picked on or other things. For your own sanity and you classmates sanity, don’t stop to talk in the halls! Why people can’t wait till after class I don’t know.

In elementary school and in middle school, teachers always seem to pass students who are disruptive and who don’t do that work. When those kids get to High School, they will be in a shock because in High School, if the work isn’t done, you’ll stay in that grade and class, till the work is done. Classes next year for the kids who failed will be filled with under classmen. Also when you’re older, the freshmen seem to be even more obnoxious, and being in a class with them would be terrible. Its not that hard to do work, just pay attention, and maybe your classes wont be filled with the fish’s we call freshmen.

Friends are irreplaceable, and they can influence who you’re going to be. In middle school friends are very much alike, but in High School, things change, and sometimes they change overnight. It’s not preventable, and you’ll find yourself changing. Some friends may move, some may follow a totally different crowd, some may ruin there lives. Who knows, maybe you’re the friend who may change. Changing is a part of life, and it may bring hardships, and tears, but it will bring more friends, smiles and wonderful memories that will never change.

High School life begins once you receive that diploma. It’s an ever popular time in a teenage life. It will be a change, and continue to change thru out your years, but its all worth it. Talking in the halls is a big No-No, and doing your work is a must if you want to move up with your friends to the next grade. Change is ineluctable, but it’s a tremendous thing all the same. Life in High School isn’t hard at all; it just takes some advice and some listening. Soon or a later, that walk to High School will turn into the walk into the rest of your life, and in High School, you’ll get ready for that walk.

Ok, I am trying to build a pyramid in coordinates (x,y,z). The base has 4pts (10,10) (10,-10) (-10,10) (-10,-10) that make 4lines that make a perfect square. The base lies in the xy plane only, z=0. The pyramid sticks above the xy plane.The peak of the pyramid is (0,0,50). How do I find the equation of the 4 slanted lines and the 4planes (the ones in 3d) that make the pyramid? Need answer today or tommorow. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it have to be checked out like a patent? Can your thesis be a based on another persons work/research?...like for example, filling in the blanks of another's work to find the cure for a disease?

Also, in the movie, The Core, the geophysicist and his grad students try to explain the weird occurences going on with the weather. At one point, he tells the students that if they help him figure it out, he will sign off on their thesises. Can he do that in real life?
