What's the relation between geometry and english?

So my home school teacher said that next year (when I will be a freshman in highschool) I should take Algebra again, since we won't have time to get to everything by the end of the school year when I asked her. Then she said I should probably take geometry in my sophmore year, and then she said I would probably do great in geometry since I'm an english/language arts whiz.

What's the relation? How are they alike?

Should Christians abandon public education and home school?

I have many friends who home school or educate their children in privately. I also have several friends who no longer teach because of the violence, immorality, lack of parental involvement and overall dysfunction in public schools. They also bemoan the secular, politically correct agenda. I was educated in public schools, but not the same schools that exist today. If I had children; I would home school or send them to a private school. What is your opinion?

How To Graduate Home School High School Early?

Performance reviews in training program?

I have received two bad performance reviews, have worked under 3 store managers in one retail big box mall store, and I am told my training position is high turnover and the company is getting rid of the training program by my newest store manager. I have worked here for a year and 8 months. I was told I am not ready for store or corporate and I will have a meeting soon to discuss my status and development needs -- by my corporate manager.

I cannot handle the stress. I graduated early from Purdue, but this seems like more stress than I can handle and I can handle a lot. I feel it is not going anywhere in this company. If I resigned I have monthly bills of 460$ (Cell, Car Insurance, Loans) and food covered will have to live at home (parents). I am thinking about enlisting in air force (no officer openings due to amount applying and economy) b.c. I do not know if I will find another job. I can stay in position while waiting to enlist -- but, all I get is yelled at and after being told I am not going to be placed from a training program ranked around 63 on business week for best placed for new grads to launch a career I am honestly frustrated. I feel like resigning, should I? Would you enlist if you intend to go back to school and use gi bill or look for another job (really hard to find). I work in retail management.
I had to go to the hospital due to pains in stomach because of stress..... besides that, how would you feel in a training program that you think you have a career from and they say you are not ready EVER even though your results prove otherwise (sales increases).
I have in roads, but my current store manager will not permit me to interview and communication states due to my readiness in store I will not be considered. I am ready -- I don't understand why they tell me I am not. I am trained and have proven it.
Thanks.

What are the benefits of homeschooling?

Basically...........what is the pros and cons of home schooling?

What is the best Christian homeschool material?

I am in the market for a good homeschool curriculum. We are a Christian family and would like to use Christian based material but it's not a must as we can teach her ourselves at home and through Church. My daughter isn't preschool age yet but I wanted to get a headstart on what we are going to use and get all the details about what we need to know...since I have never homeschooled before. Thanks!

can someone PLEASE tell me how my personal statement is?

My family and I migrated to the United States of America with hope for a brighter future. Even though my parents do not hold a supreme level of education, they are extremely hardworking individuals, especially my mother who switches off from one job to another. If she is not at one, she will be at another. I have two sisters, who have both graduated from prestigious universities. My oldest sister and brother-in-law are both currently enrolled at Loyola’s graduate school majoring in health care law and have strongly recommended Loyola for its well-structured Jesuit education, exceptional standard, and for its challenging curriculum.
The first time I ever heard about Loyola University was when I was in 8th grade. I remember that year distinctly because I had a student teacher who happened to be from Loyola. He wasn’t like any other teacher I’ve ever come across. He was particularly bright and friendly, someone who took the effort to get to know each student on an individual basis. He went out of his way to help us or to make something bland and typical into something innovative and exciting. I had a living, breathing example of a Loyola student and I must say I truly admired it. Even from an early age, I thought of Loyola University as the place I would go to when I ‘grow up’ because of the positive influence he had on me. Even today, Loyola University at Chicago is my first choice.
I moved to Lincolnwood, IL the summer before high school and now I was about to attend a high school where I did not know a single soul. On top of that, there was a rigorous curriculum at Niles West to keep up with and highly involved, bright and motivated students. However, I adjusted promptly. I consider myself to be a person who is flexible, someone who can adjust to changes quickly. In fact, I like change.
Unfortunately, life throws things at us that we are not fully prepared to handle. I had a disturbing summer my freshman year. My youngest aunt in Pakistan was diagnosed with stomach cancer. At the time, my family was also battling financial hardships. However, my mother could not ignore this. She decided to request the summer off from work. I went along to support her through the long travel as she was mentally incapable of doing it herself. My aunt passed away that same August, leaving an 11-year-old-daughter all on her own. My mother stayed for an extended period of time. I had to return home, go to school and locate a job to provide financial support for my family.
I worked after school and on weekends from March 2007 until July 2009. The most valuable things I learned from this experience were learning how to be responsible, how to stay optimistic and stay strong through even the most challenging of times. Trying to juggle with being a full-time student and a hectic job didn’t work too well for me. My job was exceedingly physical, involving dragging heavy carts of books. It was a requirement for me to be constantly on my feet. These factors had a major impact on my academic wellness. My parents extended their own work hours and made me quit my job.
I am coming back on track working diligently my senior year. I can keep up with the rigorous curriculum offered. Even though due to my job I was unable to participate in extracurricular activities or take classes to prepare for standardized tests, I reviewed the material on my own, retook the ACT in October and made a 2 point gain in my composite score because I am a strong believer in not giving up.
As for my interest in a career, I’ve always had a passion for science, especially Biology and Anatomy. After my aunt passed away and seeing how it has impacted my mother and our family, I have become deeply interested in medicine and plan on following a pre-med path. I am willing to put in the time and effort it rightfully demands. It is my choice to give up or not, and I have chosen the latter. If there is even one life that I can make a difference in; it is only then I will feel as if I have accomplished something worthwhile in my life. I have chosen to play an extraordinary role in our society and I believe Loyola University at Chicago can help me in doing so.

What can I do to stop being perfect?

I agree that the question sounds more than a bit self-absorbed. So let me explain. I grew up with a father who was diagnosed with paranoia schizophrenia. As a result, I was sheltered as much as he was able to make me. As I got older, I spent more time with my mother, who exposed me to life more. Although I had two parents, my father with full custody, my elder brother seems to have raised me. I spent 24/7 with him, even sharing a room until I was about 9.
I was home schooled my entire education, always grading above average. I just passed my GED test with a battery average of 604. You need a battery average of 450 or higher to pass.
I have never smoked or done drugs. The only alcohol I have ever ingested was the small sip of wine each New Year's Eve that my father allowed. I am a virgin, as well as never having been kissed.
I know how to spell and have good grammar. I have a way with words ... whenever I wanted to be friends with someone or get someone to like me, it was easy with only a few words. All of my friends, my mother included, come to me for advice and help.
I do not drive or have a driver's license; I ride the city bus, my bike or I walk.
I do any chores that need done without having to be asked.
Until a short while ago, I had hair that was 3ft. long and very thick. I wear floor-length skirts and long sleeves. I don't show cleavage. I am 5'2; short and compact.
I took ballet and tap dance classes before the age of 10, when I switched to figure skating (ice). At the age of 16, I got my Coaching Liability Insurance and hired myself out to the city to teach toddlers to skate.
I don't ask for much ... I don't eat very much and I wait to ask for clothes until you can see through my old ones. I mend and sew and knit. I cook and work in the garden so we have extra produce. I do dishes and my own laundry, as well as doing any laundry that anyone asks me to do. I sweep and vacuum.
If I say I'll be somewhere at a certain time, I will be. I only make promises that I keep.

All of this bothers me. I have to keep myself from gathering supplies and running away to explore before I turn 18. My elder brother convinced me that it wouldn't be good for Dad if I did so. At this point in time, I am with both parents half-time. My mother is more like a sister to me. My brother lives with our Mama and they share expenses. When I get a job, I will take part in that, as well. Brother will be traveling soon and Mama is already traveling. She is on a motorcycle camping trip as I type this. When I am at my father's house, I have a set schedule each day. I leave at 2:30pm to walk to the library and I have to be walking back into the front door at 5:30. I do that every day without fail, leaving Dad with no reason for suspicion and becoming friends with all the librarians. When I am at my Mama's, I have more freedom. In fact, she treats me as an adult and allows me to make all my own decisions. I have been out past midnight before, but usually coming home from visiting with my Uncle and Aunt. Even when I have complete freedom, I am still a good girl. I'm tired of being a good girl. I'm not saying that I want to drink and smoke and be a slut. I'm not stupid. I know what those things do. But I'd actually like it if I wasn't liked by everyone. I'd like to take risks and do things that people wouldn't like. Does anyone have any advice or tips or solutions?
Many thanks and may the god or goddess of your choice, if you believe in any, bless you, if you so wish to be blessed.
Ah, yes. I do, indeed, have a perfectly proportional face and body. Everyone says I am beautiful with pale skin, flushed cheeks, weighing 127 pounds. Uh, I forgot the third question. And it seems that your answer has disappeared. However, let me add a link to a picture. One moment....

Other information: I have been a pagan since the age of 6. I am not concerned about getting kisses. That was just part of the background information. I don't want to get drunk. If I wanted that feeling, I could just spin around a bunch of times and hit myself over the head for the headache. My mother gives me complete freedom to do whatever I want. She told me that if I decided to run away, just don't tell anyone that she knows. My father ... he doesn't listen to anything, not even small things. So there is no telling him what I want and not waivering. Literally, you can stand there, not saying anything and he will be yelling at you to stop arguing. Thank those who have replied for the advice. Thanks a thousand

Who to ask about high school credits?

I'm doing a home school curriculum called CC (Classical Conversations) and I took some classes back in middle school in Latin, the curriculum name is Latins not so tough 3-6. I was wondering if these counted towards any high school foreign language credits. If you don't know could you inform me who to ask??
Thanks

Are you a parent of a child with special needs?

Would you like to know about ALL the educational options available to your child, both in and out of school?

Would you be interested in the school supplying you with a directory of all existing services for your special needs child? These options would include, but not be limited to, Resource Centers, support groups, home schooling, online education, etc.

I'm writing a paper for a college. I want to know if parents would support their public school supplying them with a very complete directory of all possible special educational options.
QuestionableAnswers: This directory would be an objective listing of Special Educational resources, with no bias towards one option over another.
DragonCrest, there is no such thing as a 39 year old child, at least not in the human race. You mean your adult son is 39 years old.

Can an aspiring adult student re-enter a traditional (non degree mill/online) college? Too late? Pointers?

I am a 28yr old seeking to re-enter the Undergraduate realm in order to complete a degree in Computer Science. I have a 2yr degree in math and a 4yr degree in business. I am currently employed full time, and I am a small home owner in Tennessee. I have discovered that my real desire is to complete a degree in CS, and work in the industry. CS was my first degree choice, but I switched to engineering/took a bunch of math after switching back/forth and goofing off in my early 20s, then I had to move out, and the only degree I could complete was a business degree on the weekend. Even though I completed a BS in something, I still feel a void because I wasn't able to complete what I wanted to complete.

Am I alone in a quest to sell the farm and return to school full time? Is this feasible? Unheard of? There is a traditional school in TN austin peay that offers a respected distance program but it would take longer than traditonal

feel free to contact me. (awaters2879__at__yahoo__dot

How To Get Home Schooled In California ?

I Would Like To Get Home Schooled This Year . Im Going Into 8th Grade . What Would I Have To Do To Sign Up ? Do I Need To Ask My School If I Could ? I Hate Public School . Please &nd Thanks Youu .

Where can I find information about home schooling?

I'm doing a research project on home schooling in the United States. I am looking at the history of home schooling, why parents choose to homeschool, laws regulating homeschooling and academic success/achievement of children who are/were homeschooled. Obviously I need scholarly articles. I checked two databases already, ERIC and google scholar and found quite a few articles, but I still need more. If you could tell me about some articles and studies (must be scholarly and peer-reviewed) and/or include links that would be wonderful.

Thanks!

High school is too slow so I want to get a GED and go to junior college?

Please, don't think of me as this 'I'm too smart for all these idiots and I hate my life' type of teenagers... even though that's basically what I'm saying. I just feel that I'm bored with the high school system and need to move on with my life. I'm honestly smart enough to understand the work, but feel like it's all become to tedious and easy that I've stopped doing anything. As you can imagine, my grades are suffering greatly.

I'm getting so much crap at home that I'm really just hating life. Instead of getting any guidance at home, all I'm getting are sarcastic quips and insults (which is why I'm here). I'm seriously considering getting a GED and going to my local community college for two years to transfer to The University of Utah where I can try to get a degree in History, Anthropology, or something in that family of knowledge.

Is this a feasible thing to do? Are there any other ways to go?

When people run away from their problems, what does it mean that they still come after you in the end?

(I know this is soo long but I need some help. Thank you so much! I promise I'll give 10 points to best answer, I always do:) Anyways can someone give me examples? I don't really understand. So if someone is having trouble at work with their boss, co-workers and that company isn't really in their favor but the person really likes the type of work they do. So they decide to try to find a job with a different company and they land the position. The person ends up having a great time with and a good, fair career. I don't understand how running away from your problems can be that bad?
I don't think I'm running away from my problems. But my parents enrolled me in a great (a little more difficult than most elementary schools, not my assigned neighborhood school) then after elementary school I went to 7-12th grade school (which is also above the standards), which I am at now. I completed 7th grade very well. Then in 8th grade it started to slip a bit.
Now I'm in 9th grade. It was very difficult to complete my homework at the beginning of the year with volleyball from 5:30 to 7:30. School ends at 2:30. I often did homework in the library till practice, but didnt complete it. Then I was always exhausted when I got home. It takes me 45 minutes to get home from my school. Now the material is getting harder and harder. I'm failing a class. And have 2 D's in 2 other classes. I'm tired of being exhausted. And the curriculum gets harder through the years. So if I am doing bad now, it's going to get worse. The grades I have really bother me. I am fairly smart. I always try to do my best, but I'm not a genius like most of the kids in my school are.
I'm trying and its just not working, it's very frustrating.
My neighborhood high school is only 2 minutes away which definitely helps. They're bell schedule works better for my learning style. And they have lots of more classes to choose from. It's the second best school in my district, behind mine. So it seems perfect. It has 10 out of 10 stars in reviews from a source I read, just like my school. And I'm really interested in their volleyball program compared to mine, because I didn't like my high school volleyball experience too much. And I won't have to worry if I am eligible to play. High school volleyball is now over, but I'm still struggling with my schoolwork. I'm applying myself and I even got a tutor, but nothing is seeming to work.
I'd say I am semi-popular at my school. I talk to alot of people and people say 'hi' to me as I pass them in the hall. I'm nice to everyone, include and accept people. But alot of my friends live by the school which, as I told you, is 45 minutes away. So I don't get alot of opportunities to see them outside of school. I don't know alot of people at the school I want to go to, but the people I do know said I would really like it there, and make lots of friends. I'll be so sad to leave my friends though, but I think its for the best. Eventhough the school I go to now is slightly better getting into a good college. I will still get into a great college with my new school, but I will enjoy my high school experience better. They offer plenty of honors and AP classes. The work level I'm doing right now is beyond my maturity. When I get into college, I'm confident I will handle it good because I'll be older.
I just don't know if I'm running away from my academic problems? I just think if I went to this school I would do better with my work because I'll be less tired and its a bit easier. this school is also on block so ill only have 3 classes a day which means more time to work on homework. instead of 7 classes a day, every day. I would really like a new adventure and try this school out.
thanks!

What is a good program for homeschooling/Virtual School?

Well, I'm in 7th grade and I wanna be home schooled or be in a virtual school! I know of 2 virtual schools one is Connections Academy & the other is K12. I cant do K12 because the 7th grade class is already filled and I don't wanna do Connections Academy because in my state its like $4,000-5,000 dollars! So I was wondering if you could give me some other good and legit programs. Thanks! =)

Homeschool high school science and language arts suggestions?

I homeschool my 2 kids, daughter pretty much done at this point. Used Rainbow Science by Beginnings Publishing for her science, which covered physics, biology and chemistry. Liked it a lot, however the chemistry was challenging for her with all the detailed math and I KNOW it will just blow my son's mind and he will not even attempt it.

Any good ideas on good chemistry homeschool curriculum that is secular -- I've heard Apologia is good, but is it overly Christian based? I'm Christian, but do not want my curriculum to just be so over the top with Christian based work that it is too much.

Also be interested in some Language Arts homeschool curriculums people liked. Used Alpha Omega for my daughter, a little overly Christian, but mostly just too advanced and detailed for my son -- he is dysgraphic and it just won't work for him.

Thanks for any ideas!!

How can a parent get away with severe educational neglect?

We live in North Carolina. There is a woman who has let her two girls miss over 15 days of school so far this year, 35 last year and 45 the year before. The school will not do anything to her. The girls do not have health problems and the mother will not have meeting with the school. Could she lose custody of her children for this? Isn't the school bound by law to do something about this? I have reported this to Social Services yesterday including the fact that her mother and boyfriend have drug related backgrounds and they live in a 3 bedroom home with 9 people. I got an email back asking about the drug background as if this s.s. person didn't even care about the educational neglect. Does anyone have any opinions on this situation or what usually happens to parents who do this?

Any homeschooling experiences to share? Am considering homeschool for 9 yr old & 3 yr old.?

My 9 yr old knows NO history, virtually no math, and last year we basically had to teach him ourselves. The school system (not just a teacher issue) has gone down a lot. Am looking for others willing to share other experiences. . Also thinking of homeschooling 3 yr old since we know how bad the scools are! Both kids are very bright, but my 9 yr old bores easily, and the school is not challenging him to stay motivated.
I'm already a stay-at-home mom and used to having to teach him now, so I doubt there'd be much adjustment family-wise.Am concerned about the social afect if we pull him out of school
I understand there are several curriculums to use, am wondering what works well....
Any advice from those who've been there? Thanks!!

Home school resources?

I am looking into home-schooling my children, 7 and 3, and was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to start?

Does anyone have any experience with moving their kids (K5 & 2nd) from Christian to a homeschool style school.

When I was told by my childs teacher that he wasn't being taught his math facts in class (had to review (I say teach) at home) because there wasn't enough time I was shocked. And then on two ocassions my 6 yr old was told to put his hand down to class related questions, I realized I needed to look around for a setting that could provide him attention when it was needed. Found a small church (I mean small). Classes are shared, i.e., K5/1st, 2nd/3rd ... up to 12th. They use the popluar rated Abeka program and deem themselves a homeschool. Just not sure if this would be a good move. My K4 son is already starting to read and the 1st grader made the honor roll. Both are taught at higher grade levels. The school academic program I feel is good, but I want to be sure they are given an opportunity to take in, comprehend, all that is being taught. It seems the emphasis is on completing the curriculum for the school year and therefore moving faster than the kids can keep up. No room for review.

Military Families who go to public schools...... what would you do?

I'm looking for some advice from other Military families who have children that go to on public schools (preferably the ones that are actually on installations) who've had issues with threats or violence against their child.

My 12 year old daughter was recently threatened by another child (we will call him JJ) in her class. This happened on Friday and she hold us as soon as she got home. The kids ride the bus home and by the time they get here the school is long closed up and no one will answer the phones so we had to wait till Monday to deal with the situation not by any choice of our own.

Here is what happened.....Friday at school They where in class on the laptops, and my daughter had her legs to the side so she wouldn't hit another child sitting next to her. JJ walked up and told my daughter to "shut up and to move her feet". Colleen told him "No, that she didn't have to and that it was a free country." Well JJ then proceeded to tell her that "If it's a free country I'm going to shoot you" Colleen ended the exchange then and told the vice principle who said he would have a discussion with the student.

Well this discussion must not have done much good because the kid was in our housing area (which he does NOT live in) the next day bragging about how he's gotten away with it and that nothing was done to him. He even made further comments to her about how it was a compliment and that she took it wrong.

Now, a few things here... he was at another persons house when the second incident happened. My daughter left right away and came home, she didn't even want to go to school on Monday. She is very uncomfortable around him and is actually afraid of him now. She did NOT feel this was prior to last week.

My husband and I went to the school and spoke with the principle and vice principle. Unfortunately, it was basically a waste of our time. All we got was the whole we don't think he knew what he was saying and doesn't have the capacity to really carry it out lines. They kept saying he said Well then I could shoot you and that is NOT what he said but that is what he told them he said so they are basically believing him over 5 other students. They also said that they child has a history of saying and doing things before fully thinking them through which is the part that terrifies us. They kept going around and around about how the child is emotional and young for his age.

They hasn't even contacted his parents about him saying it and that made my husband go through the roof. They where supposedly going to contact them yesterday after we left but to be honest I doubt that it really did happen. They talked about that he's an very emotional child well so is mine but it sounds like this kid is just playing them especially since he came to our housing area the next day dragging that he got away with it. We have our daughters side of things and have also confirmed it with all the children she says witnessed it happen. They all give the exact same story so this isn't my daughter being overly dramatic about the situation.

Does anyone have any ideas as to who to contact besides the school board (who's going to side with the principle) to get this dealt with? I know that if the kid comes to our housing area again and says anything like a threat to her to call the MP's but I don't want it to come to that. I'm more concerned that he could or would walk into the school with a gun. Then it's not only our child in danger but other people's children too. I will be contacting the Military liaison for assistance and hopefully she can do something.

I'm not usually one for getting commands involved but is that going to be my only option to resolve this if the school won't do something? Is to find out who this kids sponsor is and have my husbands command go to his command? Seems like a lot of go around the bush to me but if it works I'm willing to do it I just want the kid to realize that you can't threaten people like that and get away with it.

The really bad part is my daughter isn't doesn't want to do to school now. Any advice would be great and please no tell her to suck it up. She's got two brothers and can handle her own quite well thank you but this really scared her. She's never had something threaten her life before and she never have someone do that especially at 12 years old.
kleighs mommy Typical out of line comments..... IF you're not going to read the WHOLE thing the do us a favor and do NOT comment.

ALL the students where sitting the same way. It's the way the room is laid out.

My daughter did NOTHING wrong to this child. She was no rude to him and did move but wasn't going to be told to shut up when she wasn't even talking.

Please stay off my questions from now on. Thank you.
To answer some of the questions aske dno it's isn't a DoD school It's a El Paso ISD School that just happens to have it's campus on post. There are a few DoDea schools in CONUS (Knox for example).

We don't know the parents and the school refused to release their names or phone numbers so we can contact them to address the situation. From what I know as of today they still have not been contacted and told about what has happened.

Thank you to everyone for the support and ideas on what to do with the situation.
