Teachers... I am often absent from school. I have migraines that do not respond to medication, and they incapacitate me for the day. I always have work to make up when I get back to school the next day. How do you recommend making up work? I always get overwhelmed with double the amount of work (even more, because I have to make up classwork also). When I get overwhelmed like this, I tend to just blow through the material without really understanding it, because I am worried about it all being due the next day. Any suggestions to make this process a little easier?

Went to college back in 97 for about 2 years and ended up dropping out without completing school. Never paid it back (went into default year 2 or 3) so it's been out there for over 6 years now. My question is with it being in collections, does that mean I can haggle my way out of paying the FULL ammount?

Most bad debt gets sold to collection agencies for a fraction of the cost (usually 3% - 5%, 10% at most). Of course the collection agency is going to want the full ammount (that's some nice profit), however they can work with you for a 'settlement' amount.

So did sallie mae sell my loan to someone that I can get away with only having to pay 10% - 20% to make it go away, or am I stuck with paying the full amount?

I have to write an essay for english about authority figures. I chose to write mine on police abusing their authority. does anyone know any good links or stories online of examples of police abusing their authorities? i cant find anything. Also, read my introduction paragraph and tell me if there is anything to fix and ways to make it better. That would be greatly appreciated!

Police are important authority figures in our society; they set examples to other citizens so it makes it even more important for them to follow the laws rather than abusing their authority. They are given the responsibility among many people, when they think they are above the law and go out and rob a bank its not setting a very good example for the rest of society. Many police officers are hypocritical since they were put in such an important authority state they need to live upon what they are telling others to do and not break the laws themselves.

theres a rumor of a school shooting goind on, the cameras were vandalized and one ripped out from its place, now since tuesday there have been SCHOOL WIDE rumors, its all we talk about in class. well rumor is friday at our pep rally the shooting will occur. anyways should i go to the pep rally? or skip and go to study hall?

do you think the school should place a lockdown? also its a rumor but if it was a joke it wouldve stopped and now the whole school is talking about it. the school will not do anything because they dont have physical evidence like a hitlist, so right now everyone is talking about it but the school isnt doing anything to prevent this if it is true. theyre waiting till a dead body shows up -_- and they allow backpacks at the pep rally so some1 can sneak a gun inside the gym..should i go or not? and do you think the school should do a lockdown for a search even though its a school wide rumor bringing huge attention, not to mention cameras vandalized and non working.
