Is homework for kids actually worthwhile?

The idea of year round schooling does not mean that there would be more school days in a year. There would still be 180 days (or whatever) but spread out over the course of a year, with 3-4 week breaks between quarters, or perhaps a shortened week. This allows plenty of time for the parents to...

Is/was the "college experience" as or more important to you than the education?

The social/educational experience are combined for me; I'm at a small, residential liberal arts college and my social group is the type that's there to learn. So we spend a lot of time in extracurricular activities (speech team, anyone?) and having intellectual conversation. We have fun too...

Woman drivers are bad all over

Well, I for one, am a woman and I'm a rather confident driver. I drive quickly (ie, over the speed limit, but not recklessly) I know what I'm doing and I pay attention to the road, stop at stop signs etc. It depends on the person. People of both genders need to take their driving seriously...

I've never had a credit card before...

You could also go to your bank and take out an unsecured loan for about $500, and pay it back every month (hint: use the loan funds to do this). You'll have to pay some interest, but if you pay it back every month, it should be a bonus on your credit report. The credit card is also a good...

Is homework for kids actually worthwhile?

Awe come on....every 6 year old should know how to operate an impact hammer. :D My fault. I meant to say mnemonic. I hope it makes slightly more sense now ;)

Is homework for kids actually worthwhile?

Excellent idea. Students forget so much over the summer, and most get bored anyway. This would leave more time throughout the school year for time off; a great thing for all involved. Students get their breaks, but not so long where they get bored.

Is homework for kids actually worthwhile?

Homework is a necessity to teach skills, but it should not be busywork. Wordsearches, crosswords, coloring, worksheets and assignments copied from the book, etc = epic fail. Homework should do one of two things: reinforce skills or allow students to explore related areas of interest within...

Obese Woman told to use ZOO MRI since she was too big for Hospital MRI Machine

She was told the machine wouldn't fit her; an alternative was suggested. It was just a suggestion, people! An idea! If she didn't like it, she should have declined it, like she did. The idea of the ultrasound was proposed too and could have worked. The doctors are trying to help her. I...

Family: Our Son, Adolph Hitler Campbell Has Been Mistreated...

I agree. And I thought I had it bad for having my first name be that of a lingerie store ;) Seriously though. Those kids will grow up getting so much shit from students and teachers alike, and think about them trying to get a job. What place is going to want to hire a person when the first...

Wedding etiquette- why the hell is it so expensive

Excellent idea. That's the exact type of thing I was shooting for. Meaningful and useful and the thought and the memories associated with the gift and the friendship should last longer than that couch!

Why does iTunes do this with my unchecked songs>

The playlist is a good idea, but it also limits you to one playlist on your iPod when you sync. (boo, playlists ftw). I would try syncing your iPod with a different computer (you can play DRM stuff from iTunes on up to 3 computers I believe) or syncing iTunes in a different user account on...

Wedding etiquette- why the hell is it so expensive

It feels to me like the bride may be trolling for gifts, as this has become common in today's "wedding etiquette." You shouldn't feel like a wedding "slacker" because you don't have the money to buy the most expensive thing on the registry, and you don't have to buy off the registry anyway...
