I'm currently working at a Sylvan Learning Center, and have mixed feelings about it because for the past six years, I have been either privately tutoring (one- on- one) or teaching whole classrooms. Although I certainly feel more challenged working at Sylvan (3:1 student-teacher ratio, all on different subjects), I am wondering if this kind of environment is helpful for Sylvan "graduates."

If you have completed a lot of hours at Sylvan Learning Center (200+, for example), or have stopped going to Sylvan, I want to know how well the experience benefited you in school, work, etc.

The main issue I see with Sylvan-- and it seems to be the main issue with many-- is the "corporate" aspect of the learning facility. I don't believe school and business should collide any more than school and religion, but perhaps I'm an idealist.

Any information is helpful. Thank you. :-)

Well im just getting over a cold. My nose is still stuffy somewhat. I still cant smell or taste. I was thinking going to school at the beginning of 4th period because we dont have 3rd today. So id go 4th period for a hour and a half, then lunch for a half hour, then 5th period for a hour and a half and go home. I just dont want to miss the whole day and somewhat show up for a couple of hours.

Do you think I should go or stay home? 4th starts at 11am and I get out of school at 2:30pm.

Do we have such a terrible education system that no one knows how to spell anymore? I'm reading questions being posted on here by 15 year old kids and am completely amazed that my 1st grader can spell better than they can...Why is that? Maybe they should spend less time online "writing" blogs and more time learning how to spell.... Just had to vent...Sorry... :-)

So here is the deal. I am going to the National Guard in January, and when I return in March after 9 weeks of boot camp, I want to start enrolling back in college for my second degree. It's going to be a degree in architecture, however, with the recent housing slump and the recession and all, is it a field that is worth going into? I figured that if that didn't work out, I'd pursue web design, yet another passion of mine.

I used to work for an architect, but I left because he was a miserly old fool who cared more about how many hours you worked as opposed to how much you were worth.

Any suggestions?

This is my first year in yearbook and my first 2 spreads are Administrative and Teacher. Honestly I think that these are boring topics, and I would like to make it interesting for students to read. They also have to be appropriate (obviously) and we need 15-20 pictures for each spread! (it seems like a lot for a boring topic, and I don't have any time (study halls / lunch etc) to take pictures of teachers) Any ideas on how to make such a boring topic semi-interesting and how to take pictures other than just a teacher's face etc?

I saw similar case in the early 90's movie "last boy scout". Why do some people want to call someone by some random name even after we tell him our real name?

Evolution and stuff involving plant cells, such as photosynthesis. I don't see why you would, but if you do I'd like to study them now so I'm not behind.
