Education & Reference - 23 August 2007

Combo of reasons:

1. He has a terrible short-term memory.
2. He CONSTANTLY mispronounces words and has a difficult time translating thoughts into words.
3. He also has a reading problem.
4. He constantly appears to be over-whelmed, flustered and disoriented

I realize that it is normal for ANYONE to experience any of these problems every now and then. However, I feel that he has a HISTORY of struggling with these problems and it has become apart of his character and image.

(I am not trying to "defame" those who have a learning disability, but I was just curious if that could also be his diagnoses)

This an honest question and I would love your thoughtful and honest feedback!

Is it "hwat" or "what (wat)"
I personally don't pronounce the H and I think it just sounds weird if people pronounce the H anyway.

she don't want students to smoke but she smokes VERY OFTEN anywhere she wants, and even in her office.

she dislikes our section which ended up calling us "$#!T!", shouting.

she always call some students in our class "Blupper", which, to her, means boastful. duh?

she blew cigar smoke to the face of a student.

and... she flirts with almost any guy student...even if she's already 50 years old!

I'm currently a sophomore in high school in the US and it's always been a dream of mine to spend at least one year in college abroad in another country. I'm most likely going to purseu a career in the law field (lawyer) and I'd like to know some good colleges/universities in the UK, Australia, and Canada that I could potentially study a year/more at...also how hard is it to get into those schools?
I'm looking into Ivy Leagues and schools like them here in the US.

OK - this is not hard at all people ... I want to see how many of you can tell me what you did today-- in Haiku form...it can be absolutely meaningless ... like mine:

My Day Was Crappy
Then I watched my favorite show
It Wasn't too bad

Remember -- there are three lines in a Haiku
1st line - 5 syllables
2nd line - 7 syllables
3rd line - 5 syllables

OK - 1 -2 -3 Go!

I'm stuck with a 3.5 GPA Unweighted, but I have a 2250 on my SATs, and I am very involved with my extra-curricular activities: (please bear with me) I founded and currently conduct San Francisco's very first high school chamber orchestra, I'm the president of my school's Pre-Medicine Society, I'm on the San Francisco City Hall's Youth Commission representing District 4, I'm on the National Ocean Sciences Bowl team, and I am almost done writing a book. I really don't know if I can still get into any elite institution since I've been told that GPAs matter most in any college application and acceptance. And unfortunately, 3.5 is quite low compared to the average GPAs of most Ivy-Leaguers. Any advice or feed back would be deeply appreciated!

A week ago I happen to go on my schools website. On the "upcoming events" it had "ninth grade orientation 6pm to 8pm" on the 23rd which was today. I was waiting to get a letter or some sort of information in the mail or some sort of phone call. The school has a call feature where it can call your house, its like the principal can record a message and then it goes to all the parents houses.

But never got a letter. I noticed that there was a girl who lives down the street and shes going to be a freshmen. I noticed she was out walking with some friends going to the store. And theres another kid who lives down the street whos gonna be a freshmen at my school and he was outside playing basketball,

My dad calls the school and noone answers. It just tells the office hours and to press a button for "current events" and my dad pushed the botton and it said "no current events scheduled"
