Why is it important to teach middle schoolers prepositions? Do prepositions deserve such attention, and why?

I am in college and I'm thinking about dropping out in order to work full-time. I am going to do this next year when I have $60,000 saved up. I figure that will be enough to get me started and I should be able to survive the rest of my life if I continue to work and maybe invest that money somehow. I always hear people say "Stay in school" but I think I'd learn more if I dropped out and worked. Am I making a bad decision or do you think it sounds good? I want to get married at that time, too.. so I figure that if I work full-time and let my wife go to school and do whateevr, not only will she be happy but we'll be able to save money too.

I have a 3.42 unweighted GPA and a 4.24 weighted as of tenth grade (didn't get my report card for eleventh).
Also I took my SAT last June and got a 1990 total but I am retaking it October, dumb writing section: 610 ><
Yet to take my SAT Subject Tests,

Last year I took 3 AP and 3 honor courses, recieving 4 B's and 2 A's and this year I'm taking 5 AP's and an honors courses.

and I have 100+ community service hours working with Miami-Dade County PRIDE program.

But extracurricular activities are lagging behind, I'm only in the Italian club.

So, do you think I have a good chance at getting into Brown University? And, don’t worry, Brown is not the only school that I will be applying to, I have some safety schools.

Another question on this board got me thinking about this and it's something I've been curious about for a while. I'm asking because I have a disability - actually various physical disabilities resulting from a brain injury - and I am in graduate school. I'm considering getting a PhD after I get my Master's. I am just curious what people with disabilities go through when they decide to become professors and I'd also like to hear from students who've had a professor with a disability or professors who have a collegue with a disability. What was your experience like? Thanks guys!

I have a high GPA for a bio major based on the fact that it is above the average for top med schools (usual majors are bio, biochem, other science associated majors). However, since law schools typically have a higher GPA acceptance average than medical schools, I am just in the range for the top law schools. Would law schools take into account that I am a bio major or would they still base their assessment of my GPA on their average.

What do you think about the NCLB Act? - Is it working, why or why not? What is it doing for the average students? What is it doing for the above-average students? Do schools give the mentally impaired kids special tests so that they can get more funding? Do schools get more money if more students are in advanced classes? If so, why don't they make as much of an effort to find early geniuses as they do to find early below-average children? etc.
Thanks

One is a part of Asia with a reputation for hosting unwilling travelers. The other is a part of Europe to which you might actually enjoy being exiled, especially if you like the sun as much as the binational people there do. Drop the first of the Asian Place's sever letters and you'll get the european place

My dad is talking to my sister about her grades, and started dragging in other people. I'm an A student, and he was talking, sort of, about people who want to learn and all.
I am smart, ok, booksmarts, whatever.
But does that mean i want to learn?
I hate class, I hate school in general, I only like magic in my books, am i some kind of freak?
