Primary & Secondary Education - November 2007

I am a very good speller but I seem to have a problem with putting sentences together to where they will make sense. I went to a private school all of my life and they over emphasized math but didn't explain english very well. They made the students do alot of spelling exercises and that was about it. I would appreciate any advice on how to improve my grammar because I missed out on learning much about it in school.

Does anyone out there think a 2hr after school detention is the correct punishment for not handing in homework? I basicaly had to sit in a classroom on my own after school and I had to write out lines 500 times which took forever. and also my hand hurt for days afterwards.

i am in year 10 (15 yrs) and go to school in the uk and we have to wear school uniform.

my parents think 2 hours is a long time and would be better split into 2 weeks? and writing lines is not very productive.

Also the cleaners at school can into the room and cleaned the floor, desks etc.... while i was sat there writing lines!

what do people think?

The whole of a holiday is to relax and to recharge. Its the time where you spent it on your famliy, and friends. Also to get away from our daily stressful life. The last thing that a child would do is homework. If its 1 or 2 pages of homework, that's O.K, but more than that, that's extreme. It is one of the major holidays to bring the family together and happy. Who agreed with me?

I failed my last test, but my actual grade is a C+. There is plenty of time before the end of the quarter, but I am trying to get as many high grades as I can get. Would it be a good idea, or would I just be wasting my time?

Darwin's theory of evolution is often used as an anti-religious weapon, especially by politicians who control public-school education. Learning evolution in school is often connected with denial of creation by God.

The following citation from Darwin's book (On The Origin of Species, 6th edition, p.429, the closing paragraph of the Conclusion) will probably come as a shock to those anti-religious political evolutionists:

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one..."

Darwin himself believed that life on earth was started by "the Creator", everything else is minor details. As it says in Genesis (ch.2, v.7): "...and He (God) breathed into him a breath of life."

When a teacher is required to teach the subject matter of Darwin's book, is the teacher also allowed to teach the closing paragraph of the same book?

Begging for forgiveness.
For what?
Or do something else (kiss your feet, for example)? What?
Tell your story please.

I know that there are accepted abbreviations for certain words but even then, the rest of the words are often badly spelt, the grammar is atrocious and the punctuation non-existent.
Have education standards really dropped to such a low level?

why is it okay for teenagers to drop out of school when they are sixteen ?

Why should children go to school at all if we give them the option of dropping out at a certain age?

Why isn't it mandatory to finish school and get a diploma?

Would you let your child drop out of school ? I have two daughters and hope they would never want to.

I am a high school drop out and regret it every day. I am trying to get my high school diploma now so I can go to college.

They're going to get absolutely no where in life if they continue to post their homework questions here to get someone else to do it for them.
Quit being so lazy and do it yourself. Everyone else had to.

What are things I need to know about a private school. It goes up to 12th grade.

I don't believe it to be accredited, but their comment to me was ' the kids are able to go to college'.

Is there any other questions I need to ask to make sure everything is legit?

I have completed four years of high school (I'm in my grade 11 year). Throughout these years I have been lucky to come by only two teachers who I actually learned from. I am by no means a low achiever. Ever since elementary school I have strived for good grades and overall I'm a reasonably intelligent person. Why is it that teachers who are incapable of teaching are found in classrooms torturing students? There have been so many cases where I have struggled to understand courses that it is ridiculous. In fact, in one scneario I failed a course and was forced to attend summer school, only to be rewarded with an even worse teacher, who also was unfair. This teacher gave us an inclass final even though we had a government exam. None of the other classes recieved two exams. Many teachers also rely on what other teachers have taught you in order for the course to go smoothly. WHAT IF THE OTHER TEACHER DIDN'T TEACH EITHER? And then when I tell them this...they are in denial.
