Education & Reference - 16 July 2007

Okay, so I applied for admission to the American University in D.C. since I feel like I've chosen the wrong school (I'm a bit of a nerd) but AU is pretty expensive and is a HUGE leap from my current school. Funding would be a little difficult.....so I've been thinking about college loans....do you think thats a good idea....? I mean acquiring DEBT and everything...Do you have any suggestions?

I want to join a sorority at my school. I have read all their history and hazing laws. I am scared that when I pledge they will try to do something to hurt me or put me through something that I am not expecting. I really want to be a part of this sorority. It has been my dream since I was about 9. What do I do?

I dropped out of high school in the 9th grade. I took a remedial english course but i failed the compass test which quiz students on english fragments, run-ons, verb form errors, subject-verb disagreements, shifts in person, shifts in verb tense, modifier problems, pronoun and disagreements, errors in punctuation, capitalization, and word usage.

I feel dumb and uneducated every day of my life when i am at my job interacting with my co-workers.

What can i do to improve my writing and identifying run-ons, verbs, punctuation etc....

I want to improve my grammar skills before i take the course again.

I've been reading the New York Times 3 hours every day for at least one year and that did not have an impact on my test results.

I guess reading does not help with your writing skills or identifying punctuation and run-ons in a sentence .

Do i need to read from a different source?

I am currently 21 years old.

Someone please help me!!!!

I want to be an online guitar teacher. Making videos and writing out very descriptive lessons. I don't know how much to charge, or where to really make the website from. I dont want to do it through myspace as it is basically a sham. Not worth anything unless you are a musician with tracks. Anyway, is there anyway to make money being a music teacher online?

The problem: (1/n) Sin x =?

The Solution:

If cancelling the n's, we'll have:

(1)Six =?

or simply:

Six = 6

Is it really that simple, or am I doing something wrong?

Would Children with (APD) have trouble with reading slowly outloud. As well I have (APD) and I often stutter. Would that have anything to do with my (APD). As well I find it hard to get out what I am trying to say would this have anything to do with having APD?

Well I have a nephew who is 3 going on 4 next month. I honestly think he's pretty smart for his age (Am not braggin) but he knows his colors in both english and spanish and pronounces them Very Well!! And he also knows how to count to 10 in both spanish and english. He understands words also in both languages For example: My sister asked me something about church and singing, and he asked me the same question in Spanish which really surprised me because I didnt think he knew what that mean in spanish. What kinds of games should we buy for him?? He loves to play Gameboy and Xbox, and Gamecube, but should we let him play those often?? Also, he still needs 1 more year before he can even start school, is it necessary to put him in Preschool?? They didnt accept him in Headstart because they said they didnt have enough space, even though he WANTS to go to school NOW!! Is there another school similar to headstart?? Let me know what you think!! Thanks!!

Or are you diappointed by the lack of knowledge displayed by the youth of today considering the wealth of reference material that is available on the internet!
Personally speaking I believe that some of the exams are not challenging enough for some of the enquiring minds out there and the less intelligent (yes we do exist) are too easily pigeon holed into having issues with learning !

This generation is more advanced in the academics department than my generation. I wasn't taught things the same way they teach students now. Would that become a problem if I was to have my children home schooled? I was also wondering where is the best place to look for information on home schooling?

I lost my job due to budget cuts and have had no luck in finding a position so far. I spoke with my district and they said they may have a couple of openings but asked if I would take a teacher's aid position if nothing came open. I could work on my Master's if I take the job and have insurance or I could draw a bigger check--unemployment with no insurance and go back to school.
