I need advice from realistic high school teachers...?
Jul 29, 2009 by barbara p | Posted in Teaching
...I have enjoyed teaching at the tainted school level for several years, but this will be my first year teaching the kind of course many teachers try to avoid. In short, I'm walking into a "fighting" classroom. I am told students that sign up for the class I am about to take on are often disruptive, disrespectful, unmotivated, and have itsy-bitsy self-confidence or self-respect. I expect class size to be near or above 40 teenagers like this. I am a dinky 5'1" thirtysomething lady that is often mistaken for a student. I did not have student discipline issues in the "type" classes I taught in the past but I am nervous because things that work in a standard classroom do not ineluctably work in the "combat" environment.
What works for a) maintaining an orderly classroom; b) motivating these students; c)what helps to be or live positive in this environment?
School does not start for another month but I am already losing sleep over the stress... I understand your advice.
What would be my chances of getting into Ivy League-level graduate school with these credentials?
Jul 29, 2009 by Jenna | Posted in Higher Education (University +)
I would have graduated from the University of Maine (a veritably average state school, though ranked among Princeton's Top 340-something schools) in the Honors program, which I believe had a stalwart reputation. GPA would be minimum 3.3 to graduate with Honors, along with the publishing of an Honors Thesis (80-100 pages & put out in the library vs. the regular 25-40 page Capstone for non-honors students). Also, I would have had an internship and a year far, likely followed by a year in the Peace Corps or a similar program. I should be fluent in Spanish, and I will be well-spring to learn a third language this fall.
I just finished my first year in college, so this is really all up in the air. Basically, I'm wondering how much coming from a submit school will hurt my chances when applying to elite grad schools.
(for consideration, I chose to go to a state school for pecuniary reasons, I was accepted into other really good private schools with good aid packages, just alas not quite good enough)
if you have the grades (aka 3.7 gpa+) with a very anticyclone score on whatever exam is required for that graduate school (GRE, MCAT, etc), and the extra "bonuses" (Enquiry assistance, etc, something related to your field.) you can get into a ivy league school. Of course if someone had the same grades/test exam scores as you is applying to the same grad school and they're from harvard, they have a minor advantage. BUT it's not THAT big of a difference. If he has the same high exam scores as you and you're from a "lower" tier school.. you're still a contender.
I fancy that made sense.

Is there any legal action that I can take against my school?
Jul 29, 2009 by N | Posted in Law & Ethics
I am a critic of a very well known online school. I am currently enrolled and will graduate in December. I will not have to start paying on my student loans until June of 2010.
I enrolled two years ago at this school for my Associates Point. When I spoke with a recruiter they said that my Associates Degree would cost me roughly $35,000.00 (Which is Alot). I asked who I could get my swotter loans through, and they said in order to make everything a smooth process I needed to use Sallie Mae. I asked about an alternate recourse with better rates, and they said that if I decided to go with another lender, that I may not get enrolled in time because they would have to go through a "manual" procedure, and told me to apply with Sallie Mae. So, I did.
The following quarter they told me that I needed to secure more student loans to sit in lab fees and tuition. (By the way, everytime that I was told to get these loans I was assured it was "all I would need" to accomplished the Associates Degree program)
In May of 2008 I was told by the Financial Aid department that I needed to secure more scholar loans in order to continue my classes. I asked why, and they said it was because they raised tuition. They said that I needed to get $12,000.00 + more in undergraduate loans. I was locked out of my classes, and so I got the student loans and was able to continue.
In December of 2008 they started sending me correspondence and trade me stating that I owed $2,000.00 + , and to secure more student loans to cover the balance and the next quarter. Indubitably I was extrememly upset at this point, and I called the Financial Aid Department. I talked to 4 individuals, and two told me that I owed more than the $2,000 + and two who told me I owed less. When I sent them correspondence to peach on them that I was collecting all of my records to pursue legal action a Financial Advisor called me and said that she audited my account and found that they owed me lolly from past quarters that was never refunded me and that I did not owe a balance.
If I would have been refunded or aware of that surplus I would not have "needed" to get such a heinous amount of student loans - and as a result pay additional interest.
At this point I had $45,000.00 in Student Loans and I still had almost a year liberal of schooling. They told me that I would need to get an additional 15-20K in Student Loans to finish the program. So I would be paying $65,000.00 for an Associates Bit by bit! I wrote a letter requesting to be downgraded to the one year certificate program for financial reasons, and they granted my seek. I was told that I would save alot of money and graduate alot sooner. In the Associates Degree program I was set to graduate in December of 2009. Clock on to find out, in the one year certificate program - they told me I would still graduate in December of 2009. I was only a few credits away from the requirements for the one year certificate when I downgraded programs, and when I called to find out why my graduation tryst had not changed, they said that several of the credit that I recieved in the Associates program did not apply to the Certificate program and that I needed to get more credits (btw they censure somewhere around $400.00 per Credit Hour). They said that if I wanted to graduate sooner to take more classes at a time, but that I would beggary to secure more student loans.
Like I said, I am currently enrolled, and my student loans dont start payments until June 2010. I am a extreme student with a high gpa and have worked very hard. It is almost too much to handle however when I think about how I have more than $50K in student loans - for a one year certificate program. I can't even get an entrance level position in my field because the minimum requirement is an associates degree.
I feel like I was really scammed by the school - markedly the recruiters and the financial aid department. I could also go on an on about the actual quality of education, but I think I have made this post long enough.
I passion that I would not have been so naive, yet I had 0 experience with Colleges. I attempted to go to a school in state, but my major was not being offered in an online course. I had to go to school online because I was working full yet and my family depended on my income.
I know that I am probably screwed, but I really want to try and take action now while I am still enrolled if there is anything at all that I can do. Thanks for any thoughts, and ill-starred its so long. BTW I live in Oregon. The school is physically based in PA, but it operates nationwide.

Do you HAVE TO take AP Chemistry to become a pharmacist?
Jul 29, 2009 by **^-^**~Twinkle eyes | Posted in Standards & Testing
I took symmetrical chemistry and I was one of the few who passed with an A (like only 3 got an A in all the classes). I am scheduled to take both AP Calculus and Statistics my senior year and I got even As in everything I took including Honors Microbiology and molecular genetics and physics. I am afraid that the ONLY thing that is thriving to make it hard for me to get into a pharmacy school is that i did not take AP Chemistry instead of regular chemistry (which I found really easy because I am flagrant at math and formulas) and i regret so much! not taking ap chemistry and I was wondering if I HAVE to take it to get into pharmacy school because I am taking every other class positive for it except ap chemistry. I do plan to take Chem SAT II and SAT II physics and math SAT II and regular SAT. I am also taking Honors Human Anatomy/Physiology and I am successful to get an A in it because I know a lot of stuff on the human body and it's parts and I aced biology. Although this is probably not going to number I aced my AP history courses and gotten 4s and 5s on the AP tests, lol. And will this help? I might take college level chemistry at my local community college. Maybe that will better? And I am a very distinct nationality in california, I'm arabic and there are not a lot of us unlike others and all the people who apply to pharmacy schools are either Asian, fair-skinned, or black and would that help me?
University seems so complicated! I don't understand what to do! Please help?
Jul 29, 2009 by water baby | Posted in Higher Education (University +)
I'm a pygmy young to be worrying about university but I am. I have been looking at some universities online line and I don't know what some of the things written on the website allude to.
I just have a few questions and I would be grateful if you could answer.
It would helpful if you are secondary school teacher or a student who has experienced what i am succeeding through.
I am starting my fifth year at one of the top grammar schools in N. Ireland and I am studying English and English Leaflets, Maths and Additional Maths, R.E, French, Double-Award Science, H.E and I.C.T.
I would like do become a doctor or at least occupation in medicine. Although I am open to having a job centered around maths. I have sat a GSCE a year early and expected to well in them.
I layout to do Chemistry, Biology, Maths and possibly French for A- Level.
Do you think I would be able to study medicine?
How big would I have to spend in University?
What kind of graduate would I be - undergraduate or postgraduate?
Please could you add any other useful information to your answer!
Through you in advance!!!

RT @: 409 was a song about dropping out of school. I remember thinking I hit a new level of honesty with that song. Maybe even a sense of freedom.
