Kids that are considered smart are continually bullied in school and are not defended by the teachers. Free thinking is considered trouble making and new ideas and thinking out of the box is considered coloring out of the lines. Does our system really stunt the intellectual growth in our society?

1) He is not a coach. It's an elective class on technology.
He uses the h-word/d-word quite fluently, I must say, when he is angry. Is this right?

I saw a non-English quote which meant "If you don't know how to wrap it with the bandage, don't touch the wound" in English and was attributed to "Herder". Does anybody know which "Herder" said this and what the exact English version is? Please give me the web page to verify it. Or show me the web page with the the quote in its original language.

I am very serious about going to school to become a pharmacist once I graduate from high school. I know that this will require at least 5-6 years of college to get my PharmD, and the classes will be difficult. I would like to know people's opinions about the schooling that is required. Do you think it will be worth all the time and work in the long run? What kinds of classes will I be taking during this time, and how difficult is it to be accepted into a pharmacy program after completing the undergrad courses?

I just realized that I sent home my students social studies test and forgot to put them in the grade book. I only had 4 kids get B's and the rest for C's,D's,and F's. I was allowing them to do extra credit to boost their grade. Should I ask for the tests back tomorrow or because they didn't do so hot just use the extra credit for their grade? I am a first year teacher so I am just curious.

I'm supposed to research about a current event on ecology, and I decided to research the carbon sink (ocean).

My tutor and I have discussed facts about the Icebergs melting, giving off more water, and absorbing the carbon dioxide, resulting that it helps slow down Global Warming.
I've not been very successful with my research on internet for this topic.

However, I've gotten a few good articles:
http://www.thedailygreen.com/environmental-news/latest/2845
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2007/10/19/DI2007101901069.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_sink
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,483540,00.html
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/06/icebergs_might.php#ch02

I'm not looking for answers about the Carbon Sink, but a few articles to back up my facts, and am wondering if anyone else knew a good article for it.

Since this is a school project, I am only looking for an article, not answers.

Thanks for your help.

I have to build a model on Pangaea and me and my partners made shapes of continents and we glued magnet on the back of the continents. We're going to control them by putting the continents on a whole blue covered board and put some magnets behind the board so we can move the pangaea continents. Please, my science teacher said that the best and coolest project will be on display! Please give me some more ideas of how I could make the project more cool and more creative. It doesn't have to be complex but please, make it good enough so that I might get ours project chosen. My lazy partners hate complex stuffs!!! For example, you could give me some ideas of something moving that I could put a the board or anything! Thanks!

Right now I am a sophmore in college and I am planning on going to college as soon as I graduate. My grades are not amazing or anything because I have several severe learning disorders. I do not have time to play sports because I work everyday after school. Those are the only ways I can think of to get scholarships. I am very interested in arts and fashion programs. What are other ways to get college scholarships? Thank you so much for your help!
