I want to start homeschooling, and I live in Texas. What do i have to do? I have been in the public school system for 9 years, so do i have to notify anyone that I'm going to start homeschooling? Are there papers? If so, where do i get them? How long does it take to start?

The personalities in my classroom are all over the place this year. I had been warned previously by other teachers that the students that I was receiving had personality conflicts. That is a mild way to put it.
I have tried some team building activities in my classroom, but they insist on fighting or complaining about each other. The students are 4-5 grade. They really do not see the need to get along and they are creating havoc in the classroom everyday. It is like putting out a million little fires a day.
Is there a way to help the students recognize in a kind way that we are all in this together and the better we work together, the better our year will be.
I don't expect a utopian society, but I would like a little civil behavior. Please help!

In an English language textbook published by Oxford University Press I came across a sentence "In my office gossip travels even quicker than email". I thought you have to use an adverb in such a sentence - "travels more quickly". Which is correct?

Well to say I have been in private school for one whole grade and I hated it. There were to many rules which were really not appropriate. In Private school We had to wear a certain color shoe which was blue if you had some black on it you would get detention. Whether in Public school you can wear any. In private school the education was to be learned at one standard, but in Public school they teach you at a level you can understand

I live in California, and my mom does not want to come with me to visit. I'm currently a sophomore, and I'm trying to find accommodation in New York for about a week, so I can visit the schools during my spring break. Would I be able to do it without my mom? (She really has a lot of things going on, and she can't make it any other years..long story). Help! Thank you so much, in advance.

Hi all,
Could you please advice me how to get a good memory power to remember my studies. When I get my study overloaded, everything I have studied week before become the new chapter. How can I add more memory chip in my head.

I need the serious answer from some intelligent students who perform their semester more than average.

Thanks in advance.....

This is from Chapter 5, Exercise 5-3, #16 of Fundamentals of Technical Mathematics (2nd edition): Police officer Sabrena fires a rifle at a practice target and hears the bullet strike 1.5 seconds later. The muzzle velocity of the rifle is 1000 meter per second (3280 feet per second), and the speed of sound is 332 meters per second (1090 feet per second). If both velocities are constant, how long did it take for the bullet to hit the target, and what is the distance of the target in meters and in feet?

I'm grading my students' English composition test right now and I found one answer seemed to be grammatically wrong!
So I deducted her points but she claims that her sentence is just less common expression - not grammatically incorrect.

Below is her sentence:
"In fact, the average child spends more than four hours in front of a screen each day, engaging in screen entertainment, substituing time that used to be spent for physical activity."

I personally think there should be an 'and' between 'entertainment' and substituiting'.
Also 'that used to be spent FOR physical activity' is what she wrote, but shouldn't it be 'spent ON physical activity'?

I'm just an undergrad student and grading high schoolers' test is my part time job (which means I'm not professional)!
So I might be wrong and her answer might be correct.

If you are a native speaker of English and quite confident in English grammar, please tell me if her answer is correct or not.
