shopster Just writing a note wouldn't be sufficient. You should go up to the principal of the school and show the blisters and what the coach forced the students to do. This coach needs to learn a lesson. Make sure that the coach is reported at all costs and at a...

How much importance should be placed on SAT scores? for college entrance

rachelcaron @rachelcaron (1679) • United States 8 Dec 06

What do you think? How much importance should be placed on SAT scores when applying to colleges?

4 responses

shopster The SAT, in fact, is international. It is the second most important thing next to your grades. Since almost all college-bound students take it, it will be a better indicator of your abilities in comparison to other students. Currently, a perfect score on the...

shopster The SAT is widely used because it is the only common indicator of so-called "ability" among students. Grades aren't enough - some teachers are easy graders while others are harsh. By taking the SAT, colleges can actually compare you to other students.

Do you ever feel like your child is a walking advertisement?

mememama @mememama (3076) • United States 25 Feb 07

It just hit me today that my son has baby einstein logos on his toothbrush, Elmo on his shoes, Diego on his jacket, spiderman on his pajamas, and Mickey Mouse on his t-shirt. He's only 18 months! Why does most everything have some...

shopster Well, this is a very commercial nation. One cannot expect anything better than ads everywhere. I'm afraid it can't be stopped. Look everywhere, if you don't see name brands, you'll see advertisements on all sorts of clothings and items.

Can You Read Music?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 7 Feb 07

I have just reciently developed an interist. I was wondering if it just tells you what note to hit or if you can kinda tell what it sounds like when read the notes. Does that make sense? Not really sure how to put it. I am...

shopster When reading the notes, it is very difficult to tell what sound it is going to produce. The only people who can do so are those with perfect pitch, which is an extremely small proportion of the population. On the piano, these notes only tell you what keys to...

shopster That sounds very nice and quite entertaining, but would someone really consider this piano playing? When one says piano playing, I expect that one is talking about playing an actual piece on the piano. Although it's very cute to hear about cats playing around...

How do you feel about Soda machines in schools?

ashleypastor @ashleypastor (173) • United States 25 Feb 07

This is my opinion, Whats yours? I feel that schools should not have soda machines because soda is not only unhealthy, but does not produce energy for kids to focus in the classroom. In fact the suger will boost your energy level...

shopster I don't think that soda machines should be allowed in schools. Our school's machines only sell juice and water. Obesity is becoming a problem in the United States - too big of a problem. If we allow soda to be sold inside schools, students of today's age are...

shopster In high school, my favorite class was chemistry. I wasn't as groggy reading like biology but it wasn't as math-oriented as physics - chemistry was more in the middle. I also enjoyed lab sessions. I always mixed around random chemicals and substances that were...
