Education & Reference - 4 October 2007

My son is having a horrible time with his spelling words. We go over them again and agian.. do home tests... He writes them 20 times each now at daycare b/c 5 & 10 times he wasnt getting them.. And does pyramids with them at home. And yet still his last 3 test have been failing. (10, 60, 60)

He can spell the 6 to 8 letter words with no problem ... It seems like the smaller words he is having problems with.

I am at a loss of what to do now. Please anyone that has any info please help me.

When I was in school, I was bored with all the classes, and I kept counting the minutes until I could go home . I got mostly C's, and I figured I was lucky to be getting those . When my cousin's daughter was in school, she got straight A's . I decided I couldn't possibly get anything better than a C, and my cousin's daughter had a talent for getting A's . Are some people limited to getting C's ? Are schools using the wrong teaching methods, methods of evaluating students, etc ? Are schools run by A students for the benefit of A students, with no sympathy or understanding for C students ?

What types of jobs and income are possible for a person with ONLY an Associate of Arts Degree?

I am four classes (20 credits) away from getting mine, but realistically I don't want to pursue a Bachelors Degree.

I dropped out a couple years ago because of a schedule conflict and haven't gone back because I didn't have any set goals in mind.

I recently had this circle on a test and I got the range wrong. My answer for the domain was [-1, 3] which she seemed to have marked correct and my answer for the range was [1, -2] which she marked wrong.

I made a makeshift graph here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/Rathi04/graph.jpg

Any help is appriciated, and note that the graph is not using decimals or anything that exact.
