edgyk8inmomma Have you ever heard of mind mapping? Along with all the other great advice and techniques you've received, mind mapping is great stratefy to help you connect the things you are studying. It would be easier to explain this if I knew your area of study. Think...

Has anyone ever failed a class in high school?

unknown217 @unknown217 (6) • Canada 14 Feb 09

I failed 2 courses in high school (math, physics), but I graduated with honour roll.

1 response

edgyk8inmomma Yes, but there some extenuating circumstances that lead to it. And then I ended up dropping out, because I could not deal with having to retake so many things that I felt no need to take... I went back and got my GED and am now in college... Where I ended up...

edgyk8inmomma Rush? No, haste makes waste...right? But that doesn't mean we should all just sit around hoping the answer will come to us. It is time for action, and big action at that. I think that too much rush will cause a lot of trouble, but not enough will bring about a...

The Stimulus Package isn't about Democrats or Republicans

Brian1000 @Brian1000 (13) • United States 14 Feb 09

The Stimulus Package was made to devalue the US Dollar. It amazes me at how ignorant most people are to politics. I think most people read an article out of the paper, watch a news story on TV or read Yahoo news and think they are...

welawai @welawai (102) • Mali 1 Feb 09

There is for sure something wrong. Do you have often cold hands? because I do and I don't know what to do. Well, I sit a lot in the front of the pc using the mouse and I feel my right hand is still cold,the left hand less, it...

edgyk8inmomma Sounds like a circulation problem. There are two things you can do to help reduce the problem. First, get the blood flowing. Every few minutes, lift your hand above your head and wiggle it around. If this doesn't seem to help, you may have low iron. See, the...

edgyk8inmomma When considering your budget, make sure you can afford the monthly payments, as if they increased by $100 per month. This was a little piece of info our realator gave us, and it came in very handy. The second year we were in our home, the taxes and insurance...

Playing in the snow

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 29 Jan 09

Do you give your kids a time limit when they go out in the snow to play? My son was out yesterday for almost an hour before he came back in and about an hour the second time. My daughter was upset because I limited her to about 10...

edgyk8inmomma It depends on how cold it is and how well they get themselves bundled up. I've always given them the opportunity to let me know when they get cold. I've never taken that away from them. But when it is really cold I at least make them come in and warm up every...

Did you know that they are trying to cut the Arts in Public Schools?

Shakadoodoo @shakadoodoo (737) • Dallas, Texas 24 Jan 09

They are trying to cut Art in the public school system. First it was Gym now it is art. What is going on?!? I guess we are aiming for Fat, Uncreative kids here in the USA. Do you agree with cutting Arts out of Public Schools? If...

art

edgyk8inmomma I don;t like the thought of cutting anything form the schools. However, in our town a bunch of schools are closing next year, and the kids will all be dumped in other schools. This is going to create a huge student to teacher ratio, packed busses, lower test...

How to write lesson plans without meeting your students?

highflyingxangel @highflyingxangel (9225) • United States 31 Jan 09

I'm taking a class that for one thing, is throwing me out of my element. I'm working with lesson plan formats I'm not familiar with and I'm with students that are in a completely different major than I am, that are completely...

edgyk8inmomma You're not being very specific. Pre-schools vary in age and ability. And lesson plan formats vary as well. If you could share a little about what you're used to, and what you're expected to do, I may be able to help you out. I've been teaching preschoolers in...

Start of a new era

bigjakefletcher @bigjakefletcher (7) • United States 20 Jan 09

edgyk8inmomma Abortion as murder is a rhetorical device that implies that everyone who has anabortion is a murderer. It just isn't the case. As a Chritian, I know I may catch some flack for sharing this opinion, but as a Christian who is also an individual and not a blind...
