Education & Reference - 10 July 2007

I am a 47 year old SAHM and I'm planning to go to college in the fall to become a teacher. I've been accepted to one and now have to take college placement tests and I'd like to know why. What are those going to tell someone? When someone has chosen a major, there is a curriculum they have to follow in order to get a degree in that major, right? So what role do the placement tests play in following that curriculum? Thanks!

i think a girl in my year 9 class in hurting herself. She don't really talk alot or fit in the class she looks like she has been crying alot. Is very tearfull in class and seems very depressed. The other children in the class do pick on her and she don't have friends. Yesurday she was geting something out of her bag under the table and her sleeve moved up and i could see deep scars and cuts. I've never come across this sort of thing before. And i am unsure of my footing here. Should i try and talk to her? I'm just really unsure of how to deal with this. I mean what if its not self harm them i've upset her for no reason.

The clue was Rich Little e.g. and the answer was "aper" I confirmed it in the back of the book. I can't find this word in my college dictionary. What the hell is an aper? Someone who acts like an ape?

I've had this word stuck in my head for the past couple days and can't figure out were i've heard it...or if it's even a word. I don't know how to spell it or say it...but here is the phonetic spelling from what I can remember..."nair-dE-well" I think I remember it from some movie I've seen, and I think it is used as an insult, but I'm not sure. Can someone please help me?! Am I crazy or is this actually a word?

.I need a 4 measure example of a rhythm in 3/4 time...

That's my main question, so whoever has a written example (that only uses dot's, quarters, halves, whole's and eighth's.) will be selected for best answer... I'm teacher a Music in Rhythm class, and I'm teacher about 3/4 times... I can't manage to find anything simple enough for the kids to clap.

Also, I'm looking for a way that I can teacher then why it's called 3/4. The 3 stands for how many beats in the measure and the 4 stands for what note gets one count... These kids are, honestly, not the smartest kids, and I'm wondering what's the best way to explain that to them?

My Problem is that sports take up ALOT of my time, so I dont have any other Extra- curricular activities. Does The College Admissions Recognize sports as a "good" extra-curricular?
