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!

use corporal punishment to get them to talk more?

First you need to check with the district policy. If corporal punishment is used….it should be the principle not the teacher.

If this is not part of the district policy then the teacher needs to be reported.

I worked in a school district that used corporal punishment and only the principle could give the licks. The parents were called prior to the licks, the principle and the student both spoke with the parent. In high school many parents would come up to the school and give their child licks too. It did deter from the action.

Corporal punishment for not participating in class is a little far. You really need to review the district discipline policy. If the policy has been violated….report it to an administrator.

From your experience does the mathematical training from the 6th to 8th grades prepare students to adequately handle high school subjects like geometry and algebra I?

…"what are you doing to my beloved corp. Pyle?…you climb obstacles like old people f–k."…

An internal investigation concluded that Freshwater burned students with a high-frequency generator and preached his Christian beliefs in class.

how are we ever going to get away from this stuff?

Hi there !

God is truth …God is not a religion.

Why are there still segregated schools ….

Why are there still segregated grave yards…..

Why …as the Bible has always pointed out that man will always dominate man to his own injury?

Why do we bury Nuclear waste and make it another generations problem?

Why did the bible always say men were ruining the earth?

I agree that was one among many stupid things man has done .
