Education & Reference - 29 August 2007

I've changed my major for undergraduate school three times: from Chemistry to Print Journalism to Art Education. I think I want to do Education, but can't decide between Art and English. I'm leaning more toward Art, but I've realized if I were an art teacher I would probably have to choose the place I live by the place I could find a job since art programs are being cut in most schools and there are only one, maybe two, teachers of the subject per school. English teachers are much more needed, from what I understand. Maybe I could just get an English or an Art degree, but I have no idea what I would do with either. I've already wasted three years and A LOT of money trying to figure out what to do. I'm hoping someone has some insight on the subject. Please help!

is it a mistake to slap someone with a label that just might follow them for life?

I would like to continue my studies and specifically study Earth and Space Science and secondary Ed. My great, great, great grandfather actually made a huge donation of millions of dollars to build an astronomy building at a California college. This was about 150 years ago. He gave away his entire fortune and nothing to his family. Do you think the college would at least give me a discount or something if I decided to go there? Thanks.

Are 5 year olds supposed to know patterns and read chapter books? My 5 year old knows basic patterns, but my family is telling me that she is behind because she hasn't known them "long enough" or something, and because she can't read whole books yet. She's known her alphabet, numbers, shapes (including trapezoid, octagon, pentagon), colors etc since she was 3 years old, but she's just recently starting to learn phonics, and she's gotten some down pat so far. I don't think she's BEHIND! She's not a genius, but I think she's on the right track.

I think my family is trying to scare me because I insist on homeschooling, and they want me to enroll her in public school. So they're trying to tell me that she's behind and needs help, in order to lure me in. I've talked to other moms with kids her age that say my daughter's fine, and so does my mom...who's a public school teacher. But I'm here for more opinions.

I keep getting screwed over by different CSU's (california state universities) and have accepted a new full time job. I don't want to abandon my schooling, but need something that is completely online (ideally scheduled around the pace I want) and is legit. I tried CSULB but was told no more applicants period / they're making some changes. Any other ideas / experiences?? THANK YOU so much for anything : )

I want to go to college. I am 22, self sufficient, live alone, have a good job, have no contact with my parents at all (jerks) but, I want to better myself and go back to school. I went to fill out the financial aid form and there is a section that they have to fill out. they refuse to enter their info or sign the form, and I have been told since I don't fit any of the standard exemption criteria, that if they don't fill it out that i can't get aid or student loans. This seems very unfair. Does anyone know any ways around this, and if so, can you provide me with links to print up. I can't imagine that I am the only person who has bad parents that had to leave home early and who wants to go to school. this seems like discrimination to me and all people who want to better themselves but have bad parents. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

I was attacked by a stranger in a parking lot. He threatened me with a knife to stop fighting him and he was groping me. He didn't penetrate me with his penis...but he did penetrate me with his fingers/hand. It was very painful and he was really rough with me. I have some tearing down there and I'm a little worried that he damaged something. I finally got the courage to press my alarm beeper on my key ring and my car alarm went off really loud at this point. He got scared away and wasn't able to actually "rape" me. He punched me before he left. Is what happened to me still rape? Or is it just sexual assault? I've only told my boyfriend but I still haven't told him all the gory details. I don't know if I can classify what happened as rape? I looked stuff up on the internet but most cites just classify rape as "unwilling penetration" - does it matter if it's just his hand? Sorry if this is too much info - I just really don't know what to think. Please help!

I've been working on homework for a long time now, and I just can't seem to think of a pronoun slogan. This is what I mean, I have one but I need another:

Our toothpaste brand won't leave a bad taste in your mouth!

The slogan must start with a pronounu (in that case *our* was the pronoun) So do you think that's catchy?

Btw the slogan can't be an already existing one.

Thanx if you have any suggestions! I would really appreciate since I have even more homework..............
