Education & Reference - 12 December 2007

"She'll probably never learn to spell correctly anyway" with a wave of her hand in the air,

would you have a right to be upset?
or feel offended for your child?

are slips like this commonplace?
i'm feeling very alienated from the school now.

when i leaned forward and said "Excuse me, did you just say that my child........" I couldn't even finish talking, everyone jumped in for damage control, trying to explain to me what 'she meant'.

this actually happened to me 2 weeks ago at my daughter's Title I meeting; so i wrote a letter telling the teacher how negative and unprofessional i thought she was, and that i believed she said what she was thinking, and i'm not sure she will give my daughter the effort that is warranted to help her reach the required level........so now we're having another meeting, at my request, to map out a plan that keeps me more involved about what she is learning each week -

i thought there were things teachers never said.

what do you think?

So, I just need to know about some good reputable places to get a student loan. I don't want to get screwed by some online scam. I would also like to find a place that I don't have to pay payments to until after I graduate. Would a bank allow me to do that? Help! :)

My opinion is no, I live in a depressed rural area where a great deal of the population is at or below the poverty line. The middle school that my daughter goes too had a fundraiser which if the children paid $5 they could wear their normal clothes for a day instead of the uniforms. This seemed very unfair because a great deal of the families barely have food in their counters and on top of that have to buy new uniforms each year. I believe there are better ways to fundraise and this practice singles out the children who cannot afford $5 for this benefit. Also the students were told that if they wore their regular clothes without paying they would be suspended. What do you think?

and look at the pictures that let you know if it's mens or womens restroom, the woman has hands at the end of her arms, but the man doesn't.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I am applying to doctoral programs in I/O Psychology. Is it completely innappropriate to include a small picture tacked onto my application? I don't know if this would be helpful in the reviewers putting a face to the name, or if it would come off as juvenile or conceited. Thanks in advance!

Do you think it is OK to call a teacher by his or first name. You are still going to school, but not at school at the moment. Example: IF you see a teacher, and you are like in 8th grade, and see them at a mall, do you think it is ok to address them by their first name or not.
