Education & Reference - 20 September 2007

He is being mainstreamed this year, and he is just not happy. He cries everyday when he comes home, and this goes on through the night. He is now having headaches and stomache aches. He told me the kids yell at him in class, as though they think he cannot hear at all. He's also being picked on at recess, but the teachers always seem to place the blame on my child. I have tried to work it out with the school, but my son just seems so unhappy, they said he laid on the floor most the day crying. I had to go pick him up early, turns out he was faking a headache to get to come home. He is only in first grade this year, and I want him to have the best chance to succeed, and I'm not sure if I know how to teach a special needs child, even though I have homeschooled two other children for 5 years. I know I will do what I have to do, but how long should I let this go on? This same school didn't even want to provide him with what he needed to learn for his disability.

The two differences betweenthe stories, is that in The Fog, they're in Gettysburg Battle. In The Hitchhiker they are on the rute 66,just west of Gallup, New Mexico. They also both had different points of view.
In The Fog, some of the sound effects and the props are, they had barely any sound effects plus they were also from a more southern background. Their clothes were messy, bloody, and disgusting. There Faces were brutally disturbing, and shocking to the eyes.
The setting for The Fog was a dark, lonely, foggy night in Gettysburg. Also in this story there are soldiers, in the other story there were hitchhikers. In The Hitchhikers there was mainly srivers on streets, then in The Fog the people were all soldiers in battle.
Ghost characters in The Fog, for example, were the three men that the doctor had to go with. They had to fix their friend, because of the gun wound. The ghosts acted strange, and were from the country. The ghost in The Hitchhiker was the hitchhiker on the sid

One in three Americans feel they are not living the "American Dream," and nearly half of them believe it is unattainable. In a way, the American Dream is also an "American Nightmare." There are millions of people, not just Americans, who work very hard every day and never have enough money nor the basic necessities. In context, the American Dream of Of Mice and Men is clearly expressed through the following three passages: Curly's wife's acting career, Lennie and George's dream of having their own ranch, and Crook's realization of the American Dream being nothing more than a myth.

I've got a Master's degree in a profession that I don't intend to stay in. I have heard many people say that a Master's degree--in any subject--can open doors to better, higher level jobs in unrelated professions.

In your experience, is this true? How does one pursue a completely different profession than what he or she studied? How would you justify to employers why you pursued the degree you did and why they should hire you and pay you more to do something completely different?

Ok I am helping my younger sister with school, she is being homeschooled and I was going to help her with making a book report. But I havent been in school in a while I forgot what they looked like. So if you could jsut write down the typical questions that are on a book report that would be a BIG help! Think 8th to 9th grade level. And dont worry about the parts that say ( what do you think will happen to JOE next) I am going to give her books I have already read. So I know what to put on those parts! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Alright, I just got my first paper back from my first college class. I noticed that the teacher had marked one of my sentences as being a fragment. I can not figure out how it would be a fragment and I am pretty convinced that it is not.
In context it would read...

"I had hooked a large fish and I was beginning to fight it. Not in a literal way, but in my head it was a battle." (second sentence being the 'fragment')

I realize that this sentence is inverted and it makes it sound a little awkward, but I really don't think it is a fragment. When you flip it you get "In my head it was a battle, but not in a literal way"

So would this really be a sentence fragment?
