Not everybody knows that Iverson, actually, was a BETTER football player than he was a basketball player in High School. He was better than Mike Vick AND Aaron Brooks in High School. Had it not been for that bowling alley incident, Iverson may have ended up in the NFL. Maybe even at QB.

This was supposedly a voicemail message by a school in Australia. I am not sure of the authenticity of the video. I still think it is funny!

PART – 1 (sorry part 1 has a few seconds that was recorded over by mistake…..sorry)
Sorry it took me so long to put this up & that there’s so many parts.(Only the special people on youtube can upload more than 10 minutes) But anyway, this was a special request for the movie Private School that aired on TV back sometime in the early 90’s. It may contain some deleted/alternate versions that are not available on the theatrical release. To be honest, I have only seen this TV version, so there are scenes in the movie that do not make sense to me. So, if anyone notices something missing or something that was added in, please let me know. Hope you enjoy it!

America spends some of the highest amount of dollars per student yet we aren’t near the standards of other developed countries that invest less. In terms of education we have some of the lower end of scores in priomary and secondary schools, yet somehow have some of the highest testing and facilities at the university levels. What can we do to help public schools? Is it the money? Zoning? Vouchers? Teacher’s Unions? Maybe something else?

it is not really money. it is parent involvement. unfortunately, in this day & age in America, we are so involved in making tons of money, there is a high cost of living in many areas, there are pressures to have all kinds of material things, that we waste our resources on the trivial. We are so busy working to get those things, or for some people, just to make ends meet, that we lose touch with what’s important.
The parents are most times not involved enough in their children’s lives to make the education they could have more valuable.
I am so grateful that the public school my daughter goes to has a high rate of parent involvement. it makes all the difference, not only in the school, but in how the child views school as well.

We have a child who will be school age in a few years. We’re wondering if we should stay in our neighborhood, where the public schools are pretty good, or move to a nearby area where they’re excellent. The trouble is that those ratings are based on standardized tests, and the "excellent" area populated by the type of parents who value education and help their children do well. So I don’t know if the school itself is any better, or if it’s just the parents. If it’s the parents, we can do that ourselves without moving anywhere. How can I evaluate the schools?

Check teacher/student ratio, new teacher turn over/long term teachers and the same for prin. and superintendent, teachers with BA/Masters, ethnic ratio,financial stats of students,school finances and funding, etc. Specialized classes for gifted and talented-spec.ed. -reading resource- science mini camps or weekly program for students gifted in science. Will art, music, & band and computers be weekly, biweekly, 1/2 sem., full yr., PE requirements and do they really have a disciplined schedule?,tutoring, library, aides with HS diploma/ged/college, grading system( as a teacher I had to give every student a base of 50% even if they just put their name!So they really could pass with only 20% of the knowledge that the school/state required. It wasn’t a good measurement of their learning or an effective way to teach them.),school testing, counciling, nurses/meds procedure, safety & procedures for incoming and outgoing students each day, restroom procedure- are students going alone and where is it located, students walk alone in halls or with teacher/aid to other classes or lunch or recess, lock up proceedure for emerg, are parents allowed in the classroom and how undesireables are kept out, textbooks up to date and have plenty for all students, supplies in general, how the prin. handles reg. discipline and how they discipline students who make it unsafe for all children, classroom disciplineprocedure, parent/teacher communication schedule, parent activities to join, and then you may know enough to make a satisfactory decision. Good luck and it is nice to see a family interested AND acting in their child’s best interests. Please don’t go by standardized test scores because they don’t reflect what the child is learning at school, just how well the test was taught (and learned by the kids ). Most of those tests are designed for the perfect classroom filled with technology,in a rich neighborhood, low student/teacher ratio (10-14 /1), with classroom aides in every class, one level of students in each classroom (so the slow won’t hold back the ave. or gifted or get left behind because the teacher only has so much time to teach so she teaches to ave. students), teachers with Masters or above that really care, have many teaching methods & are paid well to stay(also bonuses & incentives).

I am pretty much at the end of my road in my current career, and after giving a lot of thought want to explore the prospect of re-training to be a secondary school teacher in business studies after spending several years working in industry. According to the government, business studies is considered a priority subject on one of their websites. My question is with regard to funding. Will I be able to get full funding to teach in a priority subject as I already have a postgraduate qualification in business? What are my chances?

Yes you will but only because it is a priority subject. You have already had post grad funding which would normally discount you but they want you so you’ll be ok.

I’m thinking about being primary school teacher when I leave school and I need to know whether you have to study Maths Studies in high school. I’m not exactly that good at maths so I want to do Maths Applications which is simpler than Maths Studies.
Any information is great

To become a primary teacher you usually have to study primary school teaching or education at university. Alternatively, you can undertake a postgraduate qualification specialising in primary education after completing a degree with relevant study areas.

To get into these courses you usually need to pass your TEE. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed knowledge, in one or more of English and mathematics are normally required. Entry to postgraduate courses usually requires a relevant bachelor degree. The various universities have different prerequisites and some have flexible entry requirements. Contact the universities you are interested in for more information as requirements may change.

My education is soooo important to me since I really want to get into art school to become a designer. I found a nearby boarding school that I want to go to but we have close to no money. My mom provides for 5 kids from working at target. I make good grades. Almost all A’s (I have an 82 in one class but I’m working on it) and I have a 100 % AVERAGE IN MATH!!! How do I get a scholarship?

Most boarding schools have scholarship grants for capable students who show passion.

My daughter is applying to boarding school for next year, and came across this website (below) that talks about another girl who just got into boarding school – on scholarship. Might be of help to you
