But as it turns out, according to most of the country's media, it was all a big waste of time anyway. And it was easy, apparently. Sitting in a very hot exam room, eyes streaming with hayfever, trying to write coherently about the Liberal health reforms at the turn of the century (something I didn't even know was part of the GCSE syllabus until a week before the exam) is too easy, they say. But last year around 5% of all GCSE students failed to pass a single exam.

Extractions: back to top AUTHOR PROFILE: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor Phyllis Reynolds was born in Anderson, Indiana, in 1933. As a child of the Depression Era, Phyllis had few toys or means of entertainment. One of the ways she chose to entertain herself was by writing. It was a way of escaping her own environment. She used whatever paper she could find; her source was often the trash - paper others had discarded. When in her mid-teens, Phyllis had a story published in a magazine. This encouraged her to write more. At that time in her life, she really wanted to attend college to become a psychologist. She was successful enough at writing to pay for most of her college costs! By the time she had completed about half of her studies, however, she realized that she loved writing more than anything. Instead of going on to graduate school, Phyllis turned to writing as a full-time job. "There is no other job, I'm sure, that I'd enjoy as much, for my books I can be anyone I please!"

Extractions: Reference statistics for library planning. Part II. 8. The structure of demand We have specified three main settings and five situations that generate questions (Table J). And we are ready to grapple with the empirical data. The following analysis is based on a random sample of the questions available in the Ask The Library archive. For technical reasons, the early questions (1998, 1999) are stored separately. The sample we work with comprise 10% of the questions from the beginning of 2000 till May 2002. From Table K we see that most of the questions are generated by people in their private lives and by young people in connection with their school work. The persons we define as citizens are of course largely the same individuals that we encounter at work, school or studies. We are not counting individuals as such, but persons in specific social roles.

Extractions: 1st Quarter English Language Arts: Willis Week of August 30th: Welcome back! Thursday and Friday last week we quickly. The students came in ready to go. There has been a book order sheet sent home. Tab, Troll, and Trumpet are the books clubs I use. When ordering, please write the check out to the book club, not the school. Student will have two weeks to bring in orders. We will begin each day with Daily Oral Language (DOL). There will be two sentences with grammatical, spelling, word usage mistakes written on the board which the students will copy. We will then correct these sentences. If the student is absent, when they return they will write "Absent" with the date. On Friday I will collect their papers and they will receive a grade. These papers will be left in a folder in my classroom. Each day I am going to try to have a "Word of the Day" (WOD). We'll look at the suffixes, prefixes, and roots of the words to figure out the meaning. We'll also brainstorm other words that might be related to our word of the day. Our main lesson this week will be elements of short stories. We will be discussing definitions of setting, characters, plot, climax, and resolution. I will have some picture books the students can use to learn how to map out a story. Finally I will read a story to the class and they will individually map it out following the instructions given. We completed a writing assignment. The students had to think they were in New Orleans and they could only take three items with them,. Ask them what they chose to take. Interesting!

Leroy Anderson > Guestbook > 1998 For a homework assignment I need to find the holiday song that made Leroy Anderson Can you help me? Need it by tommorrw. Thanks Ivana ivanab@juno.com http://www.leroy-anderson.com/guestbook/archive1998.html
Extractions: Columbia, PA USA - Wednesday, December 30, 1998 at 01:20:48 (EST) I would advise everyone who enjoys the music of Leroy Anderson (and who doesn't?) to purchase the original cast album of his musical GOLDILOCKS before it goes out of print (if it hasn't already). It's available over the internet via CDNOW (www.cdnow.com) and CDUNIVERSE (www.cduniverse.com); I just got my copy, and it's an absolute delight. The music is Anderson at his best (which is saying a lot), the lyrics are quite witty, and the performancesby Elaine Stritch, Don Ameche, Pat Stanley, and Russell Nypeare great. My only regret is that I waited so long to buy it. I've also seen the script for GOLDILOCKS, and while it has its flaws, it's quite funny and certainly could be made to work with the right actors. If there's a forgotten show that deserves a revival, this is it.

The Perfect Language Course For You The following information should help to choose the ideal course for you Which place ? Net include specific data regarding the composition of students. http://www.languagecourse.net/courseguide.php3
Extractions: Budget - possibilities of savings Which place ? Participating in a language course usually leaves enough spare time to get to know the culture, people, local customs, enjoy sports and so on. So when it comes to choosing the right place to study, you should bear your lifestyle in mind. Similar to planning your holidays, you should first think about whether a big city, a touristy town or an exotic village suits you best. The links to the online "city guides" on the Languagecourse.Net school profile pages can be of great help.
HLW: Introduction (Printer-Friendly) Some languages make distinctions in sounds, in words, in grammar that others don t But people, especially composition and creative writing teachers, http://www.indiana.edu/~hlw/Introduction/pf.html
Extractions: Indiana University Students studying linguistics for the first time often have misconceptions about what it is about and what it can offer them. They may think that linguists are authorities on what is correct and what is incorrect in a given language. But linguistics is the science of language; it treats language and linguistic behavior as phenomena to be studied scientifically. Linguists want to figure out how language works . They are no more in the business of making value judgments about people's language than geologists are in the business of making value judgments about the behavior of the earth. The book: organization and conventions Most linguistics texts draw their examples from an unconstrained set of languages. This has the disadvantage that students are left with little sense of how the different aspects of each language fit together. It also invites the kind of errors that may crop up when linguists rely on examples from a wide variety of other linguists. For these reasons, almost all of the examples in this book are limited to a set of ten languages. You can see the word for 'language' in each of these ten languages in the upper-left corner of the Table of Contents page, and, together with words in seven other languages, at the top of each page. If you're interested in knowing more about these languages, each is described briefly in

Extractions: Private Schools for the Poor: An Update, March 2003. Two years ago I wrote about the private schools for the poor that I came across in the slums of Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. Funded by the British education services company, CfBT, my team has been conducting research and capacity building in a sample of such schools, all located in Hyderabad. It turns out that the market is even more vibrant than I had earlier intimated: official figures - given to us by the district education officer for Hyderabad - show 61% of all students are currently enrolled in the private unaided sector! And the number is growing annually. Moreover, these figures are likely to overestimate the proportion of children in government schools - because of corrupt over- reporting - and underestimate the number of private unaided schools, because many private unaided schools are unrecognised. particularly at the primary school level. Does any of this have relevance outside the development debate? I believe it does, Certainly stories of the educational entrepreneurs in the slums, battling against hostile government and real poverty, can provide inspiration to the school choice movement in the West. But I also think it can provide more than that, and there is a precedent for this ambition. Perhaps we can do for the school choice debate, using evidence from developing countries, what E. G. West did for the same debate, using evidence from history. In his pioneering study of the origins of state education
