At my son’s most recent well child doctor appointment, his doctor did a few tests with him on ABC’s and numbers. She said that he is ready to start Kindergarten (he is currently in preschool) in August 2008 at the age of 4, going on 5 in October 2008.

My question is, should we put him in Kindergarten at the age of 4 next August 2008 or should we wait until his is 5 in August of 2009?

The reason I ask is that I have been told by several people that boys take longer to mature. If we wait just one more year, he will be that much more mature and end up doing a lot better in school. What should we do?

I am taking a really hard science course. The professor has us taking only 4 tests and most of the questions on each test is around 20 to 35 questions. The total points you could get are 100. The last test, the class average and the grades were real bad! This past test the average went up a little to a c-. I missed the class average by 4 points. I don't know what to do anymore, it's a pretty tough class and she's a tough teacher. I studied my butt off for this test, I dont get it! Should I stick with it? Study much more harder? or this teacher and class is a joke, no1 can pass?! I'm so confused and its sorta making me depressed...

Love overlooks imperfections; it doesn’t recognize religion or race, after all, love is blind.

I just don't like the flow. Change words, rearrange them, whatever.
Thanks, you guys are always such big help! =]

I am writing a theme (paper) for my Comp 1 class, and in it I have a company's name I will be abbreviating. When referring to something that company did, would I write "DTCs actions" or "DTC's actions" ? I think it is apostrophe s, but I am not sure.

Thanks!

It is the letter c with a horizontal line directly above it. I have seen it a few times and believe it means "with" given the context of when I saw it used but I want to be sure.
