This is english homework, and it is based on a news show with an interviewer and two people from germany- a shopkeeper and a policeman. It also involves 2 young boys, one jewish, one not. They were playing with a rubber ball, when the non jewish person chucked it and the jew didn't see it, and it hit the womans shop window and smashed it. She came out and accused the jew of it, but the non jew wasn't having any of it. He kepr protesting, but it wasn't making any difference. The policeman came along, and he thought that the jew had done it as well, but he wasn't as anti-jewish as the woman was. After this incident, they have been taken to an interviewing show in england, but I can't think of any questions to ask them. If you were able to send a question in for them to be read out live on the show, what question would you send in to ask them?? Please make it sensible and on the subject, I need this for tomorrow for my english homework.

I just wonder Australian teachers share the same trait with US teachers. My child is in primary school in Sydney. She is a quiet achiever. She performs at very high levels above her class mates and her year. She hates to show off in front of her class. But most of her teacher(s) always marked her down to just above average because they did not like her quiet nature. And also because they often don't give kids tests. They often assess verbally and informally at primary school level. This year she is doing national wide competitions. She is going to make her teachers look stupid as she is beating other kids left, right and center. At grade 3, she is practising with tests for grade 4 and 5 from the US and Australia.

Do you experience this problem in the US? It looks like modern school is a personality contest. It has lost the character ethics long ago?

I am wondering how you feel about American Universities and colleges compared to any other country. It seems so many foreign people want to enter an American University. I mean people from (I know the scope on these places is different) India, France, Africa, China, and many other countries strive to get into American Universities. But do they do the same in other countries like Japan or the UK? Why do you think this is so? I have been in school for a long time taking many different degrees at many different universitys for work. Most of my experience comes from IT and Engineering (and a bit of business) just to give you an idea of my thoughts.

I am 23 and have been out of college for a couple years, having a child and getting married and all, but I recently decided I would really prefer not to be a server for the rest of my life, so I am going back to school this fall come hell or high water but I have a couple questions, when I was in school before I had scholarships that covered everything so financial aid wasnt really a concern but now it definitely is, I filed a fafsa online and got my SAR, it says my EFC is 2608, anyone know what this means? My husband and I make an ok living so I doubt I will qualify for much but I also know I can not afford to pay for everything myself, so heres my other question, will I be able to get a student loan if I have bad credit? I am going in to talk to a counselor at the college sometime this week but I want to go in with some idea of what to expect so any thoughts and comments are welcomed, thanks in advance!

1. Go to college and obtain a degree or your life will be absolutely miserable. You can't get a half way decent paying job anymore without a degree. Employers will demand degrees for jobs that don't even pay much or require degrees. It doesn't matter what your degree is in...just get one. Get a degree in "Wine Tasting" if you have to...just get one. There's a position and pay ceiling in the workplace for non-degree holders. You will not break that ceiling without a degree. Get a degree, and break the ceiling. You don't want to be stuck in one low pay bracket. That will happen if you don't get a degree. Uhh, degree holders will compete for jobs with non-degree holders. Who do you think will get the job? Yap, you guessed it...the degree holder. Society is obsessed with degrees, you have to feed the beast by getting a degree or you won't be valued, and you'll live a miserable life. Satisfy all the college requirements no matter what you have to do. BEG, BORROW, OR STEAL...JUST GET A DEGREE. Degree holders are the masters. Non-degree holders are the slaves. Would you rather be a slave or master? Well, without a degree, you might as well be the slave. Degree holders are valued. Non-degree holders are not valued. If you don't have a degree, you're screwed. You might as well be dead if you don't have a degree.

2. Join the military (not the best thing to do) if you can pass the ASVAB, get through basic training, and technical school. The Air Force should be your top choice. The Air Force has higher standards of living. Actually, they have higher standards of everything.

I wish to be accepted and enter the Johns Hopkins Medical school, but this school is one of the best medical schools a person can attend, and I don't know if I have the necessary prequisites to be accepted. I heard that in order to be accepted into any medical school, I should attend one of the best colleges I can get into to get my bachelors degree, but the college I will be attending is not what you can call a "hard to get into school". Almost anyone can get into this school. Do I stand a chance at medical school? Will hard work ultimately help me get into Johns Hopkins?

How could correctly rewrite this sentence with a more descriptive verb: "I worked as a supervisor of three team members."?

How could correctly rewrite this sentence so that it doesn't contain a negative qualifier? "Although I am not very familiar with Lotus, I am experienced in other spreadsheet programs."
