tutor1235 @tutor1235 (113) • United States 17 Jul 07

I'm taking a little survey...would love for anyone who tutors to lend a hand. What kind of training do you have? What do you charge? What age groups/subjects do you tutor in? Are you self-employed or do you work for a company? Do...

tmcaligiuri I put an add out for tutoring while I was laid off last year. I have a master's degree in Elementary Education with a Reading endorsement. I ended up with one phone call and tutored only 3 sessions. I charged twenty dollars an hour. Others I talked to said...

babykay @babykay (2131) • Ireland 17 Jul 07

tmcaligiuri Of course all children are different. Some say boys are harder to potty train than girls. My first son was potty trained before he was two. However, my second son is almost 18 months and he won't be potty trained for a long time. Most kids are potty trained...

Should you tip if the food is horrible?

JoyceP2007 @JoyceP2007 (230) • United States 17 Jul 07

I went into a dining place the other day. The atmosphere was nice. The server was very friendly. She did an excellent job. However, the food at the place was horrible. I had to send it back twice because it was wrong. When the...

tmcaligiuri Tip for the service not the quality of the food. The waitress is the one receiving the tip, not the cook. The waitress can't help it if you don't like the food. I would still tip the same, but I would not go back to the restaurant.

Should children in poor areas have more money spent on their education?

michelledarcy @michelledarcy (5220) 17 Jul 07

I am appalled to read that the government is planning on spending more money on the education of children in poor areas (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6901659.stm). So now not only do children who are door poorer...

tmcaligiuri School funding comes from property taxes. Thus schools in rich areas receive more money than those in poor areas. When the federal government decides to give more money to poor areas, it is only an attempt to even the amount of money coming in. The rich...

tmcaligiuri If you are not comfortable with allowing him to cry, then it is going to be tough to do anything else. First of all children do best with routines. This in mind, choose your routine carefully. I think that if a child has been nursed, changed and spent a few...

Describe one major change you would like to make in your home?

maddysmommy @maddysmommy (16230) • United States 17 Jul 07

For me I would like the chance to be able to paint our walls other than just having them plain old off white walls. Because we don't own the apartment, we are not allowed to paint our walls. I wish we could though, it would add so...

tmcaligiuri Add more space! Talk about major change. My home is actually for sale right now (for many reasons). One is that we have only one living space, the family room, and it is small. This is keeping us from selling our house.

tmcaligiuri I wouldn't worry too much. It is very normal for toddlers to eat tons one day and hardly anything the next. I would just keep offering different foods. With my son, we just make him try it at least once. I myself am very picky and my husband did want our...

tmcaligiuri Taste matters in whether or not the second bite is taken. However, if it does not look or smell good I won't even try it. If the chef puts care into how the meal looks, then he or she probably put care into how it tastes.

tmcaligiuri Though seats are not assigned, I have found in many classes that everyone sits in the same area each class. So, sit in the front from the beginning. It will be easier to pay attention and participate. Also, most professors will take it as a sign of motivation...
