Education & Reference - 10 December 2007

I have been talking with family about school and how grades are important. They say that if you do good in school you can get really good jobs? How is that? Do employers look at your grades when you apply for a job? I mean my grades arnt that good but I am pulling it up and probly transfering to another school to have a fresh start and have had decent jobs at companys so far so my resume is decent. How can getting my grades good land me a good paying job? My brother is making alot of money now but his grades are horrible. Do grades really matter too employers?

I have found certain words myself, but I would like a grammar correct translation for a story I am writing.

"Nube" is cloud.
"Orbis" is world, round, etc...
"Subnublius" is cloudy.

I would like the phrase to be "Nublius Orbis." I think that would sound cool in a story, but I want it to be correct Latin. Anyone got any ideas?

i have a few questions to work my essay with:

111) atticus insists that to really understand someone, you have to get inside their skin. discuss how this advice plays a role in To Kill A mockingbird, and how this belief should be apparent in everyday life during the 21 century.

222) when atticus is preparing to defend tom robinson, he tells uncle jack "why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a ***** comes up, is something i dont pretend to understand...i just hope jem and scout come to me for answers instead of listening to the town." write a paper that explains why people in maycomb county do "go stark raving mad when anything involving a ***** comes up." what forces are responsible for their reactions? how does their racsim manifest itself in the novel?

333) is the novel still relevant todAY? discuss the signifacance and the relation of the novel to today's worLD?

Using an atlas showing major interstate highways, plot the route you would take to go to the city of Toronto. (My teacher told us to start from the city of Detroit, MI). Answer the following questions:
a)How many hours or days would the trip take from your home? (Again, my teacher said to start from Detroit, MI)
b)Approximately how much gas would the trip take from your home?
c)Would you need to spend the night in a hotel or motel? If so, how much would the room cost?
d) How many meals would you have to buy, and what would they cost?
e) What would be the total cost of the trip?

The reason I am asking this question is because I don't have an atlas at home, and my parents are too busy to take me to the library. I would really appreciate it if you would help me on this question!! Whoever gets this question right and also is the first one, will get voted best answer by me!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!! :)

OK. In the story A Christmas Carol I need the best example (only one) of where these themes are used. The first theme- The fallacy that law is synonymous with justice. Second theme- Class division, enormous gap between rich and poor. Third theme- The social neglect of the young. Please give me one example from the story that reflects off of these ideas. Thank you SO much.

I don't understand at all what my teacher is saying for his directions in the 2nd part of my 6 part essay.
Interpreting what he is getting at gets you best answer.

In the 2nd paragraph you will need to provide a detailed description of the organic cause of the disease. Your description is oriented on Anatomy of the brain and cells that are affected. Describe where is the damage occuring and what structures are damaged. For example: What is a plaque made of, and how does it affect neurons in an Alzheimer's patient? What chemicals interact or fail to interact in the causation of the disorder? In this paragraph, cite your textbook to identify brain and cell structures.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
For what it matters my essay is on Alzheimer's Disease.

Why did my teacher react like that?

I am a very smart student and I usually get asked for help the most since kids generally believe that I am really good math student and there is hadrly any problem that I can't help them solve. There is a problem though.

Even though I may be really good at applying the material I learned in the classroom on the problems, I score usually in the bottom half during the test. and making failing grades or near failing. I just don't get why my test scores are really bad. I absolutely don't get nervous during test. I know the material back and forth. I know the teachers aren't out to get me because I get on their good side.

It is starting to affect my grades because when I was younger test grades were not as huge percent wise as they are in the 11th grade.

You have any tips for test taking? Remember that I know the material and I do not get nervous or intimidated.
I am afraid my bad test grades will misinterepret my intelligence and the C average in the class will hurt me!!!

Consider these hypothetical scenarios. A student who gets either a bad grade from a teacher or a write up from a teacher decides to falsely accuse the teacher of sexually assaulting them. There is an investigation, during which time the teacher is suspended without pay. Could the teacher sue the student (or his parents) for libel?

Consider this scenario, suppose a student who gets a bad grade from a teacher or is given a write up, decides to stab that teacher. The teacher survives but has to get expensive surgeries to get better and still has to live in a wheelchair after the assualt. Could that teacher sue the student for compensatory damages for the medical bills and or punitive damages for never getting to walk again?
