Q: What should my school call an event that is supposed to include middle and high school students?
It is aimed at high school students, but 8th graders are invited. It is basically a Game Night, aimed to help increase school spirit and create a transition time for the 8th graders. Our school's mascot is the Wolverines... All I can think of is like, "Best Night Ever" or something... The games are really random, with a Rockband Tourney, Teacher Student Volleyball, maybe a Bouncy Castle... I just don't knoww!

A: just call it something simple.. that evryone would know waht it was/is by reading the title of it.

Q: What are good books to have my middle school students read?
I am a first year teacher and teach a variety of different classes. I need some help when it comes to my lit classes. What are good books that I can potentially get to have my 7th and 8th grade students read? I'm from a very small school district and have been using what I have, but it isn't much! Most of the books are falling apart and/or I don't have enough copies! If there are any teachers out there that could recommend some books for these grade levels I would be VERY grateful!

A: i'm in the 8th grade and my teacher is having us read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. thats a good book to give.

Q: what time do students start elementary and high school?
Hi, need info for a paper, please tell me what time canadian elementary and high school students start in the morning. Thanks!

A: 9am (8:55) for my old high school

Q: What are good picture books for high school students?
I'm a high school English teacher looking for ways to supplement reading instruction. What are some good picture books to use with high school students? I have used The Three Questions and Grandfather's Journey, picture books with pretty deep themes.

A: sidenote: I really like that you're asking this question. I occasionally used picture books with 5th & 6th graders this past year. They LOVED it. It really helped build confidence and reading speed in the weaker readers. This book can help you out: How to Get Your Child to Love Reading: For Ravenous and Reluctant Readers Alike by Esmé Raji Codell -Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference! by Lynne Truss (Author), Bonnie Timmons (Illustrator) -There is a series about punctuation by Brian P. Cleary I've always thought it would be neat to read different interpretations of fairy tales from picture books and have the students go from there with a research and writing project. For example: Cinderella Some of the versions I've seen are cowboy (Bubba, the Cowboy Prince), Chinese, and Mexican. This information might be too young for your age group, but hopefully this is useful to you in someway.

Q: Can high school students take classes at a community college during the summer?
Can high school students take community college classes and if so how do you do so? is there a test needed to be taken or just enrollment?

A: as long as your academic adviser or counselor signs off on it, saying you have completed the minimum number of years of schooling, you are old enough, etc. just ask the counselors

Q: How do I explain the cost of civil litigation to high school students in a simple and straightforward way?
My high school class (juniors and seniors combined) is researching various civil cases as they investigate litigation relating to issues of personal concern to themselves. As part of this unit I want the class to consider the economic impact of litigation. I want my students to understand cost in a broad spectrum, not just the perspectives of a few interest groups. I would appreciate any insights into how it might be possible to present the cost of litigation in a simple, fair and engaging way to students. I am trying to find credible internet resources as well.

A: This website is pretty clear good , you might find it handy: http://www.blogdenovo.org/archives/001639.html You could try a brain storming activity on the board and have them write it down too. Brain storming always simplies things. I know some teachers have used the fish bone diagram for this particular subject.

Q: How many agree that too many high school students are posting homework questions here?
I do rather think that too many high school students are posting their homework on Yahoo! Answers so that someone else will do their thinking for them. How will they get on in life-after-school? Who will they copy from then?

A: they can keep asking questions in yahoo! answers...unless it closes down in which case..they're screwed

Q: What are some good outdoor activities for 75 high school students?
I am planning an event for 75 area high school students. It will be Emergency Services based,(police, EMT, Fire, Miliatry,etc). I need a few ideas for events to hold. Some areas are team building, safety, searches, etc. Any ideas?

A: Try to organize an emergency prepardness drill, like evacuation procedures and decontamination procedures.

Q: Why are most internships for high school students in NYC only available to public school students?
I go to a private high school in NYC and am interested in a museum internship for my senior year, but many museums only offer these programs to public school students. Why is this, and what museums don't have this policy?

A: There are over 1 million public school students in NYC. /Private schools have many fewer students. People perceive the public schools as failing and therefore take efforts to improve them in various ways.

Q: What is a more frustrating career, teaching mathematics to high school students or working in accounting?
Here is the situation. I have worked as a high school math teacher for three years. The students are very hard to work with and are getting worse. There are a lot of things that frustrate me and I have lost my desire to teach. I am considering a career change to become an accountant. This program at my alma mater is a MBA/CPA program for people who are from a non business background. I want to know if this is a good idea as any career change is a big risk.

A: It's not necessarily a big risk. You will most likely make more money, but there will still be frustration to deal with. If you work for a large accounting firm, or in an accounting department at a large bank etc., be prepared to put in long hours, especially around the end of the month. You'll also do a lot more than just math. You'll have to be good with the computer, very good with excel. Not to mention you will have to be familar with your companies policies and GAAP. A lot of stress can build up from this type of job, just a different kind of stress than a teacher has. If you're not sure you want to move to longer work weeks and no longer having off summers you may want to consider other schools? Accounting is a very good field to go into if it fits your personality. FYI - I am not an accountant but I deal with them on a daily basis in a bulge bracket investment bank. Hope this helps!
