Education & Reference - 13 October 2007

I wanna go to an all-girls boarding school next year for highschool. The problem is, my parents don't want one too far away or one that costs alot of money. I live in Arizona, so they want one in either california or utah. the other prolem is that she would want me to stay up with my religion, which is mormon and i dont think they have any mormon boarding schools. PLEASE HELP

After being interviewed by the school administration, the eager
teaching prospect said:

"Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that room
with all those kids, and fill their every waking moment with a love for
learning,
and I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity,
modify their disruptive behavior,
observe them for signs of abuse,
and even censor their T-shirt messages and dress habits.

You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction, and raise their self esteem.
You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship, fair
play, how to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook, and how to
apply for a job.
I am to check their heads for lice, maintain a safe environment,
recognize signs of anti-social behavior, make sure all students
pass the state exams, even those who don't come to school
regularly or complete any of their assignments.
Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students with
handicaps get an equal education regardless of the extent of their mental
or physical handicap.
I am to communicate regularly with the parents by letter, telephone,
newsletter, email, and report card.
All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer,
a few books, a bulletin board, a big smile AND on a starting salary
that qualifies my family for food stamps!

You want me to do all of this and then you tell me...

I CAN'T PRAY?"

I have been trying to figure out what my name means since I've been old enough to realize i had a unique name. I am a 19 yr old white girl with the name, Armesia, and i dont know what it means. My mother got it off of a lady that was participating in Wheel Of Fortune and thats all i know about it. If anyone has the same name or knows somebody with the same name as me or if you know what it means or stands for or where it originates from PLEASE let me know!

Does anyone know who said this?

Here I am again. I have two questions.

I had a friend from Brazil. She had lived in Japan for years. When we were walking in the street together, this woman approahced us and asked how to get to the nearest station. She said she came from France. After a short while, the French lady asked my Brazilian friend, saying ' How do you like Japan so far?' She replied 'I like it here very much'.

Well, Is the expression 'How do you like ~so far?' in this situation commonly used? I know she wanted to ask my friend if she likes Japan or is enjoying her life in Japan. She wasn't a native English speaker and I remember her English was not very good, so I'm just wondering.

[the next question]

---He didn't expect his mother to be so angry.

Can I say ' He didn't expect that his mother was so angry.' using that-clause ?

Would you help me ?

It's only my sophomore year and my grades are okay. I do volunteer a lot at the hospital and through key club. I take dance and piano as extra curricular activities. Three of my classes are honors and 2 are not. I did get a couple of B's last year. Junior year i will most likely take one or two AP classes and then senior year about three of four. Is there any hope for me getting into an Ivy League School?
