Should I worry about the economic crisis in the USA if I'm planning to attend Harvard Summer School?
I'm planning to attend Harvard Summer School 2009. I'm from the Philippines and the dollar costs like 50 pesos here. Im worried that this economic crisis that the USA is experiencing might have effects on my finances. I'm already burdened with the 10 000 tuition fee of the school I hope this won't pose something worse.

Well, it is not clear how long this financial crisis will last. Honestly, you should plan for the worst. Start saving more money now by being frugal, so that you have a cushion in case you need it.

Will it be better to study in a 4 year university + med school in Philippines than USA
Will it be better to study in a 4 year university + med school in Philippines than USA?
I'm currently a high school student in USA with 3.9gpa. I know becoming a doctor is what i want, and I will do anything to become a doctor. I am still in dilemma, whether I go to 4 year university and med school in Philippines or stay here in California, USA. California is having a major budget cuts and tuition fees are very expensive, unlike in Philippines, it's much cheaper. But the quality of education is still better in USA. What i want is to be out of debt by the time I graduate which seems impossible if I study in USA.

Study in the Philippines is an option. You may know that at most universities in the Philippines, instruction begins at what is about the eleventh grade level in the US as the primary and secondary programs there usually total only ten years, not twelve. The best university in the Philippines is the University of Santo Tomas and I would certainly apply there as well as to others. You will have to pass the exam for foreign medical college graduates if you return to the USA to practice.
2 :
You have to take into account that overseas education is very expensive as the fees for overseas students are extremely high. Here in the UK Imperial college London is around £3000 for British citizens but if you're from another country or not an EU member country they are £29,000. Its very likely to be the same case in the Philippines as it is in most countries. I would stay at a University in the US as the education is good and you won't be paying very high fees, you could also seek financial help from the state. You could go to a university in another state.
3 :
Philippine tertiary education is less expensive but at par with other countries, except maybe in terms of high-tech instruments only. Choices: University of the Philippines Manila University of Santo Tomas

Can my school make me come to Church and religion class on every Sunday in my school uniform
Can my school make me come to Church and religion class on every Sunday in my school uniform?
Ok well my school used to go from 7:30-4:30 a long time ago but changed to 7:45-4:00. But to make up for the lost time, since we do not have Religion classes during the week (it's a Catholic school) they have us come to 8:00AM Mass every Sunday in our school uniforms. Then we have a quiz about what was talked about in Mass, and Religion class until 12:30PM. We can leave, but they have a chance for Religion extra credit points from 1:00 to 3:00PM, which my mom always makes me stay for, even though most of my friends go out or home. Is this fair? Can they do this? By the way, yes this is a school in the USA.

It depends on the contract that your parents signed with the parish.

You go to a private, Catholic school, so yes. This is the choice your parents have made, and these are the stipulations set down from the school. This is your religion, and school lasts only so many years of your life before you proceed on to college (with all luck, and you will most likely choose the college you will attend).
3 :
Wow that stinks. Sorry to say, but yes they can do that. Its a private school which means they run things how they want to. I go to a private school, but its Christian and way less strict. Occasionally though they do things like that and we have to go along with it, because it is the school in charge. Im sorry your mom makes you stay extra. Is there anyway you could change schools? Sounds like you dont like yours very much and you dont want to have to grow up hating what you believe. I hope it works out. God bless

I have never heard of a Catholic school that dropped religion as part of its curriculum! How ridiculous! Religious education without religion classes!?!? My daughter's catholic school requires 1 mass per month mandatory attendance at 8am in school uniform. Since that's close to impossible for us, I take her to a later mass and she still has no problem passing the quiz on Monday mornings (all the readings are the same). She does have religion class during the week too. As an adult, I think you should take an adult approach to this problem (an yes, I think it's a problem because I don't think a 6 day school week -- which is what this has become for you -- is unacceptable and unhealthy). I suggest that you and those who share your option (both students and parents) write a letter explaining how disruptive this has become. Not the attending church every Sunday part -- that's our obligation as Catholics -- the religion class until 12:30 and the "extra credit" until 3. Address it to the principal of your school. If that goes nowhere, I suggest that you move up to the archdiocese of your parish/school district. And then the cardinal...and so on. Make sure you have sufficient support from your parents BEFORE YOU START THIS. Explain to them how you feel and what you plan on doing about it. I hope that they will support you in your Endeavour. Your bottom line question was -- can they make you do this -- well, yes -- you are a minor and your parents are paying for your education and it's an education requirement at your school. But, I bet if you ask around, you'll get plenty of support and you might be able to change the "system"! That's what the USA was built on! (But not always the Catholic church, hehe!) Good luck!
5 :
If it is a catholic school then I presume that your parents have to pay tuition. Since it is therefore a private school, not a public school, yes, I believe they can. Personally, I think they would accomplish more by reinstating the religion class and giving you more of your own time back but so long as you continue to go there, you have to abide by their policies.
6 :
wow. You would love Australian Catholic school. It is 9am -3.30 (like state) and you do not have to go to the church on Sunday but they do go occasionally during school time
7 :
Private schools can make up their own rules. They aren't governed in the same way public school is.
8 :
Sounds like most of your friends are outside of private school. Since this is a requirement of the school, probably by your parents' choice, there is not a lot you can do. How can you make this fun and still get full credit? Are the instructors receptive to ideas from the students? Can you invite people from the outside to one of the masses? Can you make this up any other time during the week? Good luck!

Wikipedia has been blocked at my school because of the amount of "atheist" content on there?
How can I convince the school board to unblock? I need it to research my assignments. They have also removed books from my library such The Da Vinci Code and The God Delusion because it is "unwanted content". How can I convince my school board otherwise? This is a school in the USA.

I would imagine that it has the same impact as any graduate program: further specialization, allowing for greater expertise in the area studied, thus being able to command a higher salary in the field. If this were not the impact, why would students bother unless they just had some sort of fascination with studying more engineering rather than working... College was fun for many people, so I suppose that's quite possible.

Anyone out there have any experience with this school or the Choong Sil style of Taekwondo? I come from a traditional Japanese martial arts background and have a deep seated dislike of most taekwondo just because of the amount of McDojo's that I've seen.

Med school is 4 years. 1 year internship, then 3+ years of residency (depends on what you're doing it in). Fellowship isn't always necessary, but it may be. To graduate, you have to pass the Board exams. Hopefully a doctor can jump in, but I recall hearing about at least 2 from my doctor friends. They occur at various times during med school, and you have to pass them or else face repeating a year.

How many years does it take to graduate? What classes (I'll be glad if you can explain which lessons are taken each year) does a student get? How is applince? What are the terms of acceptance? What are the terms for graduating, and working as a fellow?

Best school district to work for in the USA
Best school district to work for in the USA?
I'd like to know what the best school districts to work for as a teacher are in the USA. Here is my criteria: decent pay vs. cost of living majority of schools aren't failing so badly that teachers are required to to spend all their time giving tests and following scripted curriculum. Located in an appealing area of the country. (No moving to the country). The competitiveness doesn't keep relatively new teachers from having a fighting chance at getting a job.

Recommended number of classes taken in Graduate School in the USA
Recommended number of classes taken in Graduate School in the USA?
How many classes are recommended to be taken per semester/term (say if each term/semester lasts for 3 - 4 months), during Graduate School in the USA? In the UK, for my Undergraduate Degree I have 4 classes per semester and I also work 20 hours a week. So for Graduate School in the USA (for an MBA) I was thinking of taking 5 classes per semester, each being 3 Credits, with no or less hours of work. Do you think that's too much? What is the average number taken? These are my grades for some background info: We don't use the GPA thing in the UK but main exams are: GCSEs: Applied Information Technology (A*A*), Sciences - Biology, Chemistry, Physics (A*A*), Design Technology (A*), English Language (A), English Literature (A), Maths (A), French (A), R.E (A), General Studies (A). A-Levels: Advanced Information Technology (A), English Language (A), Psychology (A), Maths (B), General Studies (B). BSc in Computing - I have a Higher Magna Kum Laude so far. Oh and I worked 30 hours a week during the first year of Uni while having 4 classes per semester. Sooooooooo what would you recommend for me, how many classes do you think I can handle? Thanx in advance =)

I don't know about MBA programs, but in the sciences students typically take 2-3 classes a semester, and that's a ton of work right there - I don't remember sleeping the first two years of my masters work in physics, only taking 2 or 3 courses a semester. Most masters programs take 2 years to complete - see how many courses they require you take and divide that by 4 semesters.

Most times- two courses is considered a full-load depending on the program and school requirements. I know each school has their own standard. I recommend from experience to take one graduate and two undergraduate schools if you work full-time.

Describe who is popular, who's not, what students respect, what do they do after school, do they study a lot and etc.

Ok, the popular kids- the one's that are popular. They know a lot of people Whos not-The freaky people... unless their funny What kids respect-clothes, girlfriends/boyfriends what do they do after school-Party, hang out, sleep Do they study- NO, except for a few.
2 :
The kids in high school that are popular are the "pretty" ones, people with lots of money that drive their parents' cars to school, etc. Just because they are popular, however, does not mean they are respected. Usually the most "popular" people are the ones you love to hate. There are so many different groups of students, it's hard to put it in a short answer. It also depends on if you choose to stereotype or not. After school, most students have jobs. After all, most of us have to save up for college. If your parents are paying or if you have scholarships, however, sometimes you have time to study. Yeah, its really hard to put into a short answer. *I guess according to Marissa, I would have been one of the "freaky" people. I was not popular in high school. I had a few good friends, and my "group" that I fit into most would be the Art people. I think calling people freaky is taking it a little too far, though.

where should a M-1 visa holder student (USA) can complain about the non-academic school
where should a M-1 visa holder student (USA) can complain about the non-academic school?
I joined a non-academic school here in USA but i wasn't satisfied with the school so i moved to another school but i paid whole amount of the fees when i landed in USA for first time to the earlier school and now that school's owner is not giving me my remaining amount of money and i am running out of my visa and money as well, because i need to pay the fees to my new school and i want to finish up my studies as soon as possible. In which department should i go for help? (note: i did not sign any contract with the earlier school about any money back amount)

I don't know about vocational schools, but colleges will not refund you all or part of the money if you drop out of their classes after a certain deadlines have passed. They usually have this information on their website or you can ask at their business office to give you this information. I would expect that your school has a written policy for refunds. Ask to see it and read all the fine print and proceed from there. It probably will depend for how long you attended the school before changing. But the first place I would go for help is any counseling office they have at your current school. They will be interested to keep you and they should be able to help and advise you.

Does anyone else but me think it's sad they don't teach cursive writing in grade school anymore
Does anyone else but me think it's sad they don't teach cursive writing in grade school anymore?
I imagine this applies to USA schools only? Here's what some of you may not know about cursive writing. It's a faster way to write and prettier if you can do it legibly. And I think I phrased the question wrong. I meant that our school systems are thinking about dropping cursive from their curriculum

No. I too thought so, but times are changing and we need no writing at all. Typing and paperless transactions through text and e-mail is gaining momentum.
2 :
no. do you think it's sad that people don't use a feather to write anymore?
3 :
The problem is computers. No one wants to write anymore. People use their cell phones and instant messaging. Computers create problems. We are using computers. This is a problem.
4 :
I think it is sad. What will you do if your laptop breaks down?
5 :
What are you talking about? of course it is still taught. I cant believe how many respondants at ya take what people say without question.
6 :
Wait really? I'm in high school currently and once we were in second grade in elementary school we learned cursive. Ontop of that you were required to write only in cursive until you were in 9th grade.
7 :
Well, I don't know what schools you are talking about, but we still teach it here in California. I teach 4th and its a standard. It may be on its way out, but we still teach it here.
