im almost 27 years old and im a math teacher for my high school and i am also the dance coach. however, i used to be a model for victorias secret [not the underwear, just thier clothing line] / dancer before i got into teaching. i think im a good teacher, my students respect me and like me [ive been voted best teacher] and i think thats because i understand them and dont treat them like children. anyway, i heard one of the other teachers talking about me, saying that i was a distraction to the students and to certain 'male teachers'. can the school fire me for being 'too pretty'?? my students do excellent in my class, and i cnat really control how i look or how they act. and as for the 'male teachers'....well what can you do?? im already in a good relationship with one of the other math teachers. so should i be intimidated?

I am just asking for prayer. I don't expect anyone to come up with any answers for me. I am just finding keeping up with teaching h.s. and working part-time and overseeing my elderly folks and taking care of home and pets and everything else while battling health problems is more than I can juggle right now. Prayer is all I ask.

I am a Junior in high school, and am interested in Philosophy, but I don't get to talk about it at all because almost no other students care and it is not taught by the school? Any ideas?

I went to public school until the very end of third grade, and was bored all the way through. Then for the first few years of being homeschooled, we were just stumbling around.

I have the motivation to do it myself but I don't really know where to start. Currently history is something of a loss because I'm trying to get college 101 classes out of the way with AP tests, which are incredibly shallow and boring. I'm mostly working on minimizing the damage to my mind: it's the most acerebral, pedantic crap I've ever done.

I have a library card and a lot of passion, but where do I begin?

Currently I'm going through geometry and trigonometry for math, German for my language, and I'm reading whatever philosophy seems interesting.

It's just frustrating because I could have done all this years ago, and now am stuck with abilities beyond my knowledge base, if that makes any sense.

My mom doesn't have the time to work out a curriculum, and I don't want her to. I prize independence of the

ok i asked a question yesterday about percentages and i got
this is the problem i asked:
''in year 1996 the net income for such and such a family was $43,000 and now in 2007, it has risen to $60,000 (i just made up that statistic)
by how much percent did it raise? questions like those! how do i calculate to figure out that answer? what are the steps? please!!! i'm eager to know!!!!''
so i got the answer which was
''60000 MINUS 43000 = 17000 DIVIDED BY 43000 =.395348 OR 39.5348 INCREASE TO CHECK MULTIPLY 1.395348 TIMES 43000= 59999.964 OR NEARLY 60000 SO WAGES HAVE RISEN BY 39.5348. THE ACTUAL INCREASE IS 39.5348837''

the only problem is about the answer is that when they divided
17000 BY 43000 , they got 395348 !!! but when i did it on pen and paper, i got http://www.webmath.com/cgi-bin/dividewra...

I'm taking a test on problems such as these and we are not allowed to use calculators! so how can i get that same

Hi there, I have a short question. I just want to know if CCNA and CCNP are popular in HK. By that I mean, how easy is it to get a job if you hold a CCNA or CCNP? Does HK offer cisco courses in Chinese or is it in English? Thanks.

... even just a slightest bit? For example, let’s say that a student did well in the class, but for whatever reason, you don’t particularly like the student, or perhaps there was a debate, and your views and his clashed. At the end of the course, the student borders between an A & an A--. Would your negative emotional attitude toward the student affect your grading? What would change your mind about giving the student an A instead of the A-? I would really appreciate a totally honest answer.
