Do they? Are they like high school, where you have to complete a certain number of courses in order to graduate? Obviously, you have to complete the courses involved in your major) If so, which colleges have one?

I watched Shaq's Big Challenge and I was surprised that daily PE was not mandatory in Miami, Florida. In Virginia, DAILY PE is mandatory from grades 6 or 7 to 10th grade! Weekly PE is mandatory from grades K-5. Which school systems do NOT have mandatory PE?

When I was in middle school, a teacher assigned us a book on domestic violence. This would have been a book that was in publication prior to 1994 definitely and more than likely prior to 1992.

I have searched for years (amazon and google) and I'd like to use it for teens likely to enter abusive relationships. The book is written on one side from her point of view. The girl is in high school and what her experiences/emotions were while dating this guy. Then you flip the book over to the back cover. That side is written His Story. How he entered the blind rage and couldn't stop if he wanted to, how he needed therapy.

It was written as if a true story, kind of diary format, from a teenage perspective. It is probably less than 100 pgs and must contain both his side and her side. The earliest it would have been published is 1985s, latest 1994.

Hi!

I am planning on becoming a doctor and after completing my undergrad, I know that I am going to med school. I am a senior in high school, and as that frightful time of college apps approaches, I am not sure where I should apply. I am a pretty good student, and I got a 32 on my ACT. Should I apply to a small school or even a state school since they are cheaper (I was thinking UNC-Chapel Hill or OSU or U of Michigan), or should I try and get into a really good university like Vanderbilt or Cornell or something for my undergrad?

I passed 9th grade but I did badly on my school work and barely passed with a 73 percentile. I failed 10th grade, but when my mother moved me out to California to change my attitude, instead of keeping me as a sophomore like Texas was going to do, they put me as a junior. So, now I go to a continuation high school, and I'm doing well. Before I got out to California, I knew I wasn't going to be able to go to college, but since I been at my school, I've changed my attitude and I actually want to go to college.

My GPA in 9th grade was 1.7
10th grade was .7
11th grade it jumped to 2.8

If I get all of my required stuff out of the way before I graduate and keep my grades way above 90 percentile like I have been, do you think the college(s) will overlook freshman and sophomore years?

I think I want to go to a liberal arts, but thats not set in stone yet. I want the university to a great school in an urban area that won't cost too much. (I know thats kind of hard to find) I would also like to try from the middle to the east side of the country but thats not a requirement. Im also planning on going to medical school when Im done with my undergrad, so it would be helpful if the school also specialized in something medical.
