Education & Reference - 31 May 2007

Since careful budgeting is part of our lives, we're always looking for great resources and ideas that are inexpensive. Anyone wanna throw anything out there?

One thing we do is collect old school text books. We have gotten them from our district for free (every so often, they throw a bunch out, so it pays to keep in touch, especially if you have a homeschooling-friendly community). We also ask around, most people who have older children have some lurking in the garage or attic somewhere, or sometimes you'll find them at yard sales. While we don't often use them straight through, they do come in handy, and you can always search on the internet for additional enrichment materials like worksheets or project ideas if you wanted to do an entire chapter or unit.

As a Sophmore, so far I have amassed a Cumulative 4.1 GPA taking an Honors English and AP US History class this year. My Class Rank is 12 out of 528 students. Next year I plan to take AP Govt. and AP Stats and Spanish my senior. I am a varsity athlete in wrestling and i have a shot at placing next year. I participate in our state recognized A'Capella Choir
Every Sunday I am a bing caller.
Also plan to be in NHS next year and I am in a group that welcomes the freshmen the first day of school
With a these stats, would most colleges accept me?
I fear that some colleges would not even look out me.
What is your opinion?

I know you use "a" when the next word starts with a consinant like a friend. and I know that you use "an" when the next word starts with a vowel, like an insult. But what if the next word starts with a "u" like an unicorn or an urinalysis? Are there any exceptions to the "a" "an" rule?

From Ward Churchill to the 88 Duke professors who publicly convicted and demonized an entire team without evidence and, as since has been proven, without cause, these and other "educators" spew filth to our young people without apology or fear of reprisal. Why should any job, especially one as important as teaching our children, be guaranteed, no matter what the employee does or says?
