Primary & Secondary Education - July 2006

I give my students homework packets due on Friday. Usually, if a student was absent, they get the same number of days they were out to turn in their homework. It's starting to get hard to keep track of who owes what - when. So now I'm thinking of just having absent students turn in their homework by the first Friday they are back. I'm curious about what other teachers do. Thanks in advance! =)

I have to take a Geometry course, but since I couldn't make it to my summer school courses (family problems, car problems, a whole slew of crap), I was unable to make up the one course I needed to graduate.

I've been pondering this one: should children be OBLIGATED to be educated, or could they willingly opt out of being part of the public (or private) education system? School would instead be something that was encouraged by parents or caregivers, but never a legal requirement.

I'm thinking of this in terms of the Declaration of Independence, which proclaims "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". In terms of liberty, could an American child willingly opt out of attending school either publically or privately, and instead live life in any terms that they want, opting instead to educate themselves anyway that they choose?

Should there be laws requiring public school?

(And I'm not looking for fiery, angry responses. I'm just curious what people think, and if there is a valid argument for requiring public school, or if, by the terms of the Declaration of Independence, does liberty entitle one to be free to choose whether or not they wish to attend a school system?)

USA has very different Ideologies with many different groups. This is very dangerous because each divided Nation would be destroyed. In USA there are many Insurgent Groups and very dangerous, lets say terrorist groups. If we sugest an ideology accepted by all cultures, will it be accepted? Yes if it is convincent. The ground of it is: Lets be conscious of the big value of Life and its Transcendence, so by Conviction more than by laws or threatens, all of us become to be: "Genuinely Sincere, Grateful and Respectful with The One Who Gave us Life, with Nature and with ourselves" Are you agree?

i discoved finger prints on my daughter's neck only the next day when i was bathing her. This is not the 1st time that a child in this particular teachers care choked my child and we have complained to the principal and teacher in the past, so i waited for the weekend to finish & when i got back to work on monday i called her teacher & explained my concern. her answer was Ï do not appreciate u calling me on my holidays & she went on & on about how I was disturbing her vactionn. The next step I called the principal & also got a mouthful & was brushed of from her & how I was not supposed to call over the holidays and i upset the teacher over her holiday while she was with her children on the beach. Now, i send my child to private school & did not expect to get such appauling response. Do i take my child out of this school or what do i do? can somebody seriously give me some advice or if there is teacher or principal out there tell me if you would handle the situation differently.thank u

Do you think it is fair for schools to only teach the students to pass the standardized tests? This was started up as I was finishing high school. I've noticed that a lot of my fellow college students aren't ready for the classes because they don't have the basis forthe materials we are studying. What exactly is the impotance of the standardized test?

I am wondering if it was hard for your kids to read and comprehend their Social Studies or Science texts when they were just introduced to them - around 4th/5th grade...that is really the first time they are asked to read for content - just wondering what your experience was like.
