I think the answer would be different for different categories like (a) high-school students (b) college/university students (c) adult learners in continuing education.

(a) 50 minutes.  The first part of class gets wasted taking attendance, settling the students down, and beginning lessons.  The last few minutes are wasted because students are anxious to get out of class.  Actual teaching time is probably about 40 minutes out of that 50.\n\n(b) 100 minutes with a break.  Those are the college classes I have now and they are manageable but long.  There is more than enough time for group discussion and lecture time.  There is also plenty of time for exams.\n\n(c) 60 to 90 minutes with a break as well.  Adults have to balance a lot more than high school or college students so they should have the flexibility of shorter classes.  There is still time for lecture and discussion as well as exams.

And I assume that you know that after college you will never ever again use that worthless knowledge.  What scientist is going to be doing long hand algebra when they have a computer?  Ask your teacher who uses it on a daily basis and what percentage of the population that is.  Would you even want to as a job choice?  It's really a shame that schools require such nonsense.

It is a colloquialism. It depends on the geographical area where one is educated. It is ambivalent in that either way is correct.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure you have to be a high school graduate to be an instructor but i'm pretty sure that they're chill about it, they just want people who can teach. Call around and find out what specific policies are.

I don't think so! I think that it is harder for kids to go back to school and remember what they were doing after such a long break (I remember struggling to hold a pen again when I was little after a long break!) I think it also encourages teenage crime as people get bored and have nothing to do.

As others have said, in an ideal world yes - but in reality its is a case by case proposition.  I think it is less difficult in primary school. Though these sames students aren't as easily accepted once they get to high school. Lastly, the funding isn't always there (regardless of what the government says about improving the educational experience of all students and claims on funding)and when this happens both the student suffers as well as the other forgotten participant - the rest of the students in their class.

Being educated and having a diploma are two different things. I have known three or four people in my life who did not have a college education or in one case even a high school education but they are the best educated people I know. \n\nThey have common sense, a great love of reading and learning and the desire to get ahead.

I too find this disquieting.  It affects me much the same way that a friend of mine feels when asked on surveys to choose "some college" as she did not obtain a four year degree only her associate's.  "Some college" is not accurate, she obtained a degree even if a limited one, when people speak of having spent "some time" in college it generally means they are a drop out.  This is not the case with my friend.\n\nThankyou for bearing with me in my analogy.\n\nI do believe that Caucasion is an outdated term.  What is more, I believe the fact that we are asked to categorize ourselves at all by these kinds of terms is archaic.  \n\nWe are more evolved than this I think.  I realize the need to maintain a census count but for other purposes it is not necessary.  We need a better way for people to identify themselves than what we currently have.\n\nThank-You for posting this question.  It is one that we must begin to consider in society as well as to begin to take action on.\n\nMay Peace Be With You

I don't think that your assertion is true. It depends on the quality of the instruction & the age & maturity of the student. A good instructor will reduce the chances of that happening. A mature student is less likely to become so full of himself. Unfortunately, there are plenty of poor instructors & immature students.

It depends on what you already know and what you still need to know. Your question is a bit too generalised for a specific answer.

I hate to say it but I believe that you are overgeneralizing.  While there may be some students that know very little about supporting themselves, there are others that know a great deal.  Not only that but some students learn a great deal about income by supporting themselves while trying to obtain their education.

your best bet is at a community college, but sometimes high schools also offer adult ed programs with foreign language.

With many high school students so apathetic about their high-school education (it seems like the majority) the higher education organizations need to decide the ones who will will benefit the most or who has the drive to be a student. The SATs and ACTs are a way of measuring this but of course there are limitations with this approach.

I had this discussion at the beginning of my online class. As an adult learner, it works for me, but for your average child, it would be difficult. I would prefer working with students in the classroom. As you have collegiate experience, online may be fine for you. As an adolescent, I would stick with face to face.

I would assume so. You know, there are advisors in high school that can help you find out the requirements you need to fulfill for high school classes.

its just a wild guess but i think the united states applies either more grade levels (years) into primary and secondary education... its either that or the age requirement for a kid's first day of school could be lower in g.b.\n\njust thinking aloud... but hey, it is an answer. :D
