why do we need to learn whats a a subject in a sentence is? do we classify the sentence that we will formulate at work? why do we need to learn the elements? do we say "please pass the hydrogen oxide near the sodium chloride?" why do we need to learn how to find the missing number in the problem x+1=2? do we need to find unknown numbers when we are at work? why do we need to study geography? do we talk about our history during work when we are at our lunch break? why do we need to take a class about foreign language don't we suppose to already know how to speak the international language (English).

Thor prefers ASL,the Speech Therapist(ST) at school keeps pushing the Picture Exchange Program(PEP),this is where you show a picture to show what you want/need.Thor has been signing for 9 years and wants nothing to do with PEP. I have talked with his teacher and ST(teacher is also a hearing signer).I don't want Thor to have a "communication breakdown" because his signing is not being acknowledged.The ST's logic is not everyone is a hearing signer,I know and respect that but Thor's communication also has to be respected

It's just so hard to choose.
I am not even a senior but my parents
are making me choose. I know for a fact
my back up job is going to be a U.S. History
teacher. Majoring in pharmacy and optometry
is going to be so hard . . . and I suck at science too
though. I think it's just amazing if I ever succeed in
either one.

What would be a good example of the governments lie radicating mistrust of the citizens of the U.S.

Citizens of the U.S would immediately distrust the U.S. government if, in fact, extraterrestrial information has been covered up. Citizens would be forced to question the decisions and statements the U.S. government would give regarding any subject in controversy. Not to imply that controversial issues today are not question, but the percentage of skeptical citizens would be much higher if such revelation would be reveled. For example,

ok, I;m a college freshman on fall break who intended to study and catch up this weekend. But I'm enjoying resting and seeing my family. So should I feel bad about not doing the extra studying after all?

hello. i'm a 6th grade teacher and the regular reading curriculum i am supposed to follow only has my kids reading one story in a basal reader per week.

i work in an inner city school without a library, so i'm working an extra job to earn money to buy some class sets of books from scholastic (where they are cheap and i can earn extra points towards free books).

i'm aiming to teach one novel per month (on average), and i'm wondering if these is a good timeline, or if i will need two months. i know it is different for everyone, but i would like to know what other teachers out there do.

also, do you have any great ideas for novels in the classroom that works for you? (i.e., using post-its, extended activities, etc.)

what works in your classroom?

I moved to the U.S about 3 years ago, I'm in 10th grade right now and my dad wants me to become a doctor.
I am a real history buff and I am well learned in so many different areas of life, HISTORY, politics, military science, technology, facts, religion, etc
Something as big as Medicine sure demands commitment and PASSION and I don't think I have either, especially the latter.

I know a lot of people will tell me to follow my own dreams and do my own thing but with the kind of things I'm interested, It seems it would be hard to build a successful career and make MONEY from them.
I doubt if I will make a good lawyer (arguer) or a good teacher (history).

What is out there for someone like me?

I'm not sure if anyone has thought of this before, but in my opinion I believe it really isn't fair that evolution is taught in schools but creation isn't. They say that they won't teach creation in schools because they don't want to offend anyone. The problem is that they are offending christians by teaching evolution in schools. If they really don't want to offend anybody then why don't they either teach both in schools or not teach either of them. If they teach both at school then it would give everybody all the info they need to know and give them the chance to choose what they want to believe. Or if they didn't even teach either of them in schools then it would not offend anyone and it could give everyone a chance to choose outside of school from friends, family, and can choose with their own opinion. So just out of curiosity what is your opinion on this subject. I am not trying to start any big arguments, but I'm just wanting to know everybody's opinion, whether you agree or not.

I am looking for the best MBA outside the U.S.A. that is equal (so-to-speak) to a Regionally Accredited MBA in the U.S.A. and that has the following characteristics:

1. Is completely online/distance-learning; that is, can be completed without ever physically going to the institute.

2. Whose total cost (of the program) includes textbooks; and there is no such "cost" for taking exams. In other words, a MBA that doesn't have any other "extra" cost besides the program cost and graduation cost(s).

3. Whose total cost isn't over-priced like the MBAs in the U.S.A. ; that is, whose total cost is affordable to just about anyone.

4. Whose MBA is regarded respectively, in general; that is, like I had said before, a MBA that is as respectable as a U.S.A. Regionally Accredited MBA. Preferably, accredited by AACSB.


Look, I know what I am asking for is either super difficult or impossible to find... But at least, close to the above requirements. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Right now I'm a senior in HS. I'm thinking about whether or not I should go to college. I'm not an exceptionally bad student but I'm not an A-student either. I'll say that I'm about a C student right now. The thing is, I love learning but I have trouble getting the work done. When I'm faced with a big assignment, I get freaked out and leave it to the last minute. I'm often late turning them in. I feel very unmotivated a lot of the time because it seems that everybody around me doesn't care about school. I want to go to college because I feel there's a chance I might blossom there but I'm afraid that my old HS habits will hold me back. Is there hope for a student like me?
