Education & Reference - 24 September 2007

I received my BA in Communications in '00, working for about 7 years now and am considering going back to school to become an adult education teacher. I enjoy working with children but I think adults would be just as rewarding. Where do I start?

I think some words totally embrace their meaning, and my fav for the moment is 'bliss'.

I shave my head. but the school authorities told me to grow my hair back and not do it again. but they allow long shoulder length hair (on guys) and also HUGE spikes.

if they are really concerned about neatness... isnt having no hair neater than having messy bushes? isnt an afro less 'respectable'?

any feedback?

PS: its a pvt. school. might have something to do wit it... but i dont think so.

As I came back home, I remembered how wonderful was the voyage that I made to Italy. It had all started one day when my father took the decision to visit our relatives in that country and two week later, after packaging our luggage, we departed to the airport where our problems began.

As soon as we reached the airport, my father realized that there was no place to park therefore; we spent five minutes trying to park the car. When we finally found a place and we entered the airport, my sister became aware that she didn’t have her passport. We all despaired thinking that my sister had lost or forgotten the passport, but as quick as a flash, my mother found it in her bag. After that problem and even though all seemed fine, when my mother weighed the luggage, the person who did it, warn her that the luggage was too heavy and that she must leave some of the things out, but my mother denied to do this and my sister suggested her to put some of the thing in her handbag which was quite big. During all this time, my father was in the long queue ready to check in and later than all the previous problem with the luggage had finished, we join him. After half an hour we could check in and two hour later, we were on the plane departing to Italy.

Now, as I came into my home, I laughed when I remember our problems in the airport.

I have two boys. The eldest is 9 and soon will be given sex education at school. Do you think I'm right to be concerned thinking that's he's too young? It may be his last year in believing in Santa but now-a-days they're gonna end up learning about the birds and the bees first.

There's such a problem about mothers getting younger and younger. Is teaching them in a Junior school the right answer? I don't think so.

Why can't kids be allowed to be kids now-a-days? Do you think I should ask the school not to include him in those lessons?

I've shortlisted the list to Austria, France, Norway and Taiwan.

What do you think? Any pointers I should take note of? Maybe can share some of your experiences?

Do you feel that homeschooling has ...

(a) Interfered with your social development/made it hard to make friends
(b) Had no effect on your social development/ability to make friends
(c) Improved your social development/made it easier to make friends

I'm interested! What's your experience with the social side of homeschooling?

To take a course in a language just to learn it, but it really has nothing to do with your major.

I want to take arabic or mandarin chinese at a local university, but they have nothing to do with my career (medicine).

Shall I? I honestly want to.

I'm supposed to create an opinion portfolio as an assignment, writing 8 different essays and combine them into a portfolio and hand it in. Should I be listing references at the bottom of each opinion essay, or combine all the references on the last page?
(The entire portfolio will end up being approx. 2500 words... each essay being around 350 words.. just over a page per essay when double-spaced)
Again, this should be done according to APA formatting...

I have been really wanting to drop out of highschool for the past few years. lately, I have been depressed, my grades have been dropping, I have no motivation what-so-ever, I feel isolated, worned-out, hopeless and I'm just getting further and further behind. school, friends and family all have been and issue. school just started not so long ago and yet, I have skipped so many days of school, it seems impossible to make-up the work and materials. what should I do? even though I am a highschool senior and still have a 3.9 GPA, I want to give up on school already. My parents have agreed to let me drop out of highschool. i'm not quite sure of what I really want to do just yet. I am thinking of taking some time off of school. so, my question is, will this affect me later in the future when I try to get into colleges, apply for a job, obtain a degree? What are other alternatives? opinions? anybody out who have actually dropped out of highschool and became successful? chances? thanks!

Assuming they have school aged children. And if they don't, why not? Do you blame them or think they should be part of the solution instead of "opting out" of the system? And isn't it a little bit hypocritical about talking about fixing the schools and trusting the schools to educate the country's children when they don't even use the public school system themselves?

Amy Carter is the only presidental child in modern history who has gone to the DC public schools.
