How do I convince my mom to home school me?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

I've looked up so many programs for online school.I've written paragraphs about the benefits. I've weighed the pros and cons. I have a lot of websites written down, but she still thinks she'll have to get involved. I am terrified of public and private schools. So, I want to be home schooled. I think it would be best for me cause I get really anxious when I just think about school. I need answers to convincing her and fast!

Should this college student start a painting business?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

My parents are landlords and I have experience working with my dad painting the interior of the units between tenants. I believe there is a need in my area for apartment painting. I have an entrepreuener mind and am willing to put in the planning to make this work.
A huge bonus to this was the thought that I would have little start up costs, already having the materials in my garage at home. But I have found that I would probably need contractors insurance. This has crushed my dream.
Can I just have the client sign a waiver of any liablility? I can't see it being worth my efforts if I have to come up with alot of insurance money. I will not undertake a job I can't finish.
Do I need some sort of a license (NY state)?
Any other expenses?(besides equipt?
I know that I will never be successful without being able to say I have insurance, but I am just looking to make money over the next 2-5 years while providing a great paint job this energetic student will provide. Is it worth it?

Where can my 16 year old home school student take her GED?

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

In Illinois, a home school is considered a private school, so I may home school anyone. My student is a 16 year old, soon to be an emancipated minor. Illinois does not recognize emancipated minor status educationallly. My student would not be allowed to test for GED here until 2009! Even though she is legally an adult!
Please advise. Are there any states that will test her early?

Also, does anyone know how to get a pell grant with a home school diploma?

I've been in one student film by a high-school aged director. I met him when he posted a flyer for auditions.

What grade level would you suggest a student who did this science fair project was?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Compare a difference in grades by the different ways student studies.
Control would be the regular book, one would be read to, and the other would read it on the computer. The students would all have the same GPA, probably 3.8 - 4.00+. Each student would get the same amount of time. Then would all be given the same test.
