Hi! My son is in pre-school and the teacher mentions that he cannot focus more than 5 minutes on a task at hand. This isn't to say that he has ADD - because when he has a toy or game he likes he can play with it for a long period of time (like lego, train sets, puzzles, playdough, racketball, soccer)

It's the reading, writing and listening comprehension that is a problem. Right now they get exercise sheets with shapes or pictures that they have to color in the apple red, or color the triangle green. Which he does well for a bit and then loses interest. It's getting to the point that he is not interested in going to school. He tells me he doesn't like doing it. etc.

He also has a problem with doing what people ask of him if it's not something he wants to do. That probably causes a bit of friction bet. him and others.

I'm nervous that I will have to struggle with him later on in his primary school years when he isn't interested in following directions. etc.

My 4yr old daughter (who is in nursery) sometimes cannot finish her school work, especially in coloring objects because she gets easily distracted. However, she finishes her other school work like math, identification, etc. except only for coloring. She is said to have short attention span. She can't stay longer in her seat. She keeps standing up but obediently return when ask to. But despite being described as having a short attention span, she can easily recall what was instructed to her. Her teacher says her cognitive skill is high that she's recommended to join the kindergarten class & still she did well, except that she kept on going out of her classroom. She has also a lot of fears, sometimes i don't know how to deal with these. she's scared of nosy classmates, scared of swimming in the pool, going inside the clinic & tends to scream when she's in fear. I really appreciate if some of you there would help me with these... or maybe im just an overly-concerned mom

I am a Navy veteran and have just recently got my associate's degree in Computer Science. I am also learning French. I just started my first quarter at a University and am working on my bachelor's degree.

I am a white guy (I only say this because I know that scholarships do discriminate). I was wondering if there is any chance for me to study abroad in France or a French-speaking nation (like Quebec). I'm not necessarily wanting some place to pay for my life while I'm there, but even if there is some sort of foreign internship program where I can study and work.

I mainly want to do this because it is the only way I will ever become fluent in French. If you know somewhere I can go to find more information about this or someone I can talk to, please let me know.

Also, FYI, there is no study abroad opportunities for French-speaking countries offered at my University.

My parents cosigned a loan that will go through in the next week. They have already paid for my first semester of college, and due to personal circumstances (to put it simply, they don't like my boyfriend) they refuse to cosign for a loan for next semester. I told them from the start that I needed them to cosign loans that I would pay off, and that I didn't want them to pay for my college tuition. Now that they ignored that, they hold it against me and are trying to bring me back home on the basis that I won't leave my boyfriend for them. I have never had any emotional support from my family and I have wanted to be emancipated since I was 12. I graduated high school a year early, primarily to get away from home.

The loan refund will go onto a Higher One debit card provided by my school. I hold the card, my name is on it. Considering my age, do my parents have a right to the money or do I? If they try to pull me out of school, I plan on using the loan money to pay for next semester.

So I started my community college with kind of a rough start. I have about a 3.2 (or something to that effect) science GPA. I was unfocused and my classes were relatively intense given my lack of dedication (gen chem, lower division bio). Im currently attending UC Davis, and I have managed to perform an about face in my academics. Im spending about 4-6 hours a day studying now, so I expect my grades to go up. I have a high gpa in my non-science general ed, which I finished at community college. I worked all summer for UCSF, and ill have two research publications soon. (1st author on one of them). Im an eagle scout. Im taking neurobiology this semester and its not easy. I intend on minoring in anthropology to buffer my incredibly low GPA. Im going to start studying for my MCAT soon , so I can take it this summer. i have yet to finish my Physics/Inorganic series and all upper division reqs. I can write one hell of a personal statement. What do you think. I want to go to a good university

A lot of accidents ___________ if we are careful enough.
a) could avoid (b) could be avoid (c) could be avoided (d) could be avoiding.

They want you to choose (c) I guess. but even (c) does not sound right. I am thinking of "can be avoided" or "could have been avoided" . Because the last part of the sentence is "...ARE careful enough". So what is the rule (if any) about mixing tenses. like present and past. / past participle.

jeezz . why does English have so many tenses and rule. and exeptions on the rules. I have no idea why it is the most spoken language in the world.
