Apolo partnered with century council to talk to 5 middle schools about underaged drinking. I am a big fan, and he happens to be coming to Seattle, where I live. But I can’t figure out when it is and what middle school he’ll be at. so..help?

i have no idea do any of u know

I need pros and cons about why banned books should be kept in or out of middle schools.

Also, parents for or against banned books in middle schools.

This is a listing of links relating to censorship.

Especially, look at the links relating to minors http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/ifissues/issuesrelatedlinks/minorslibraries.cfm

nope. the only thing colleges might note about middle school is if you failed a grade and had to repeat it

For scholarship or financial aid questions, I just tell my friends to visit http://www.FinancialAidQuick.com and take a look around.Its good starting point with a few great sources of aid.

I’m not failing or anything, but if colleges only look at your grades from high school..then what’s the point of doing so well in middle school?
I’ve gotten in trouble 2 times in middle school..like one time I plagiarized for music class because I forgot that there was an assignment due. IS that going to affect anything?

to learn and not get kicked out so u CAN go to high school

Now THAT is what I call a hero without a uniform..
All of our people in the service are hero’s to me..

yes, I saw the interview on TV, the guy and the other teachers who helped were amazing…..they just reacted, doing what they thought needed to be done…wow….I sure hope if my kids were in a school that they would have adults around like that….hero for sure!

i will go to a community college

That’s dependent to a large extent on the state you’re in. I will warn you that a community college might not be able to get you all the way through, what you’re looking for will require at least a bachelor’s degree and if you’ve got any sense you’ll work right away toward a Master’s degree. You’ll need it anyway and it’s more money with a Master’s. I highly recommend you put in a call to the college and start asking questions. They are best equipped to get you on the right path, and it’s their job to know the specific questions relevant to the state you live in. I’m a science teacher, by the way. If you need more advice, feel free to write me at fortitudinousskeptic@yahoo.com
I’ll do whatever I can to help you get started.
Anyway, to start off the community college may work but you may end up transferring later on. Best of luck to you!

I’m planning our annual Middle School Girl’s sleepover. Unfortunately I haven’t been a middle school girl for about 12 years. So, what sort of activities should be planned? I’ve got dinner, a talk, a movie, and that’s about it. What should we do? What are middle school girls into nowadays? Hanna Montana? I have no clue. HELP!!
Oh my gosh. GREAT ideas. You all ROCK!

Hanna Montana is a little childish for middle school girls (true they probably all watch it, but will not admit it). Lets see….Wehn i went to youth group events. we would watch a movie. dinner. I remember my pastor used to bring up contemporary christian issues alot at gatherings. I suggest playing games such as twister, catch phrase, taboo, scene it…etc stuff like that. also, alot of girls are getting into video games now a days, i would see if you know anyone who has a wii or playstation and try to play guitar hero, ddr…stuff like that. Well, good luck, have fun. Trust me, girls will be girls and have fun with or without planned activities.

Due to the recession, our middle school will be cutting out all middle school sports next year. My school is a very athletic school, and most things are sports centered and sports related. Without them, school won’t be as fun or interesting, and many of the things we normally do won’t happen because without the sports, there will be no reason to have them (Pep rallies, for example). What can we do to convince the state or school system to bring back our middle school sports?

start a petition. make a page that explains why you should have sports and get a LOT of people to sign it. explain on the page about why you think sports benefits you. if you get enough people to sign it im pretty sure they would reconsider getting rid of all sports. GOOD LUCK!

At our school we do "mini-courses" or clubs for four or five weeks. They consist of fun activities outside of the regular curriculum. Some teachers do Guitar Hero, sports, kindergarten help, etc. What are some fun things I could do for my mini-course?

u could make a "dance club" and u could do different types of dancing like tango, ballet, tap, idk whatever but i personally think that would be fun!
