What to do about my boy?

We Answered:

Since she is in a position to possibly loose her house, could it be possible for him to stay with you almost fulltime now. I think the permanent structure is needed. With 50/50, he has no... set setting. Everything is back and forth. If he knew he was always at your house and not his moms, maybe just went there every other weekend for a while that he would know where everything is and what the rules are. They would be consistent..

I think consistency and structure are very important. I know you do best for him and I know that he has more rules at your house and is not in charge at 11.

do u think this is a good persusive essay???

We Answered:

the ideas are good, but i think you're making too many generalizations. Instead of saying there are a lot of obese people and ignorant parents, i would suggest using specific examples. Those would be more convincing to me b/c very few people at my school are overweight and i know plenty of health-conscience parents. good luck!

Middle school Orchestra to High School Band?

We Answered:

Ok. Well. Band instruments take A LOT of practice and time to learn how to play. String instruments don't translate that well to band instruments, as far as I know. Just learning fingerings is not enough. Plus, everyone else in the band will have been playing for several years already. My advice is, if you really want to learn a wind instrument, get a private teacher and be ready to put in some serious practice time. If you just want to stay involved in music, find a community youth orchestra to play in, or do percussion in you school band (band directors are usually not that strict about the level percussionists are at, sometimes if there are too many flutes for example, some will switch tto percussion)

What are some good health related lessons to teach to elementary school children?

We Answered:

Basic hygiene when going to the bathroom and touching food.
Dental hygiene.
Headlice
Hygiene when handling pet or other animals, washing hands immediately, no putting hands into mouths.
Sugary foods
The importance of fruit and veg.
Kids are never too young to learn the horrors of smoking. Put them off smoking at an early age. You shock kids with a picture of blackened lungs and they will remember it years later when someone offers them a cigarette.
good luck
