It's definitely a way to measure kids intelligence... if not the parents. Some jobs required early learning.

I have worked on a number of school projects.\n\nStart with a room schedule (listing the types, size and number of each room/area required).\n\nLook at the relationships between the rooms (i.e. changing rooms next to sports facilities, reception next to head teacher's office) and try form academic groupings.\n\nFrom then on it is an exercise in laying out a working school taking into account:\n\n- how pupils arrive, moev between classes, eat/socialise and leave\n- how the administration of the school functions\n- how the services function (janitorial, plant rooms etc)\n\nThis is almost an exercise in art but with constraints re travel distances, lighting, fire-regulations etc.\n\nI hope that gives you some pointers.

usually i make a "to do list"  (as cheesey as that sounds)  and then go from there.  just take it one thing at a time instead of EVERYTHING at once.  if u divide it up, its easier to get done because it doesnt seem like SO much work.  then once u finish something, cross it off ur list.  it also makes u feel like u got something done, even if it was little.

I homeschool my two boys and the lady I sit for pays me extra to hs her dd for preschool.  I HIGHLY recommend you hs if you have the will and the ability.  Two big things to remember with hsing at ANY level is: one day at a time...you're not talking about geometry and calculus yet.  Second...it's not forever unless you want it to be.  She can re-enter public school when she is ready.  You can email me, I started hsing my now 4th grader when he was in K.  He has TONS of confidence, he gets ONE  ON ONE education, I teach him the way he learns best, rather than plunking him down in a group of 30 kids and droning on at a chalk board...I use manipulatives, pc programs, games, baking to learn fractions, printouts from sites like enchantedlearning.com etc etc.  When he needs a break, he gets one.  We hs year round, so he doesn't forget half over the summer, but our hs days are short.  He learns things he WANTS to learn about.  When he showed an interest in pirates, we got books from the library, coloring pages from the internet, we built a ship, made our own course on a map, created a flag, etc etc.  HSing is the BEST at your dd's age, because you can take ALL the pressure off of her, and teach to what she needs, one thing at a time if you like.  If she is currently crying over math, take a break from the usual math stuff, and play dice games instead!  Just because it's fun, doesn't mean you can't use it for school.  Think outside the box, teach her fast math skills by having her play games!  Teach her spelling by only drilling in the car, and make it fun!  See what I mean?  And don't let the folks that know NOTHING about hs except for the freaks they find on tv worry you about socialization.  There are hs groups in your area to help.  There are groups online.  There are church groups and public sports and music lessons and play groups for socialization.

Since I'm a school teacher, I look forward to my summer vacations every year.\n\n1)  I have to catch up on my sleep first.  It's amazing how much 10 and 11 year olds can wear you down.\n\n2)  I play as much golf as I possibly can.  Some would think that this can be a dull or stressful game (depending on how you play), but I find it very rejuvenating.\n\n3)  Catch up on reading, while laying out in the back yard.  I love just relaxing and soaking up the rays.\n\n4)  Watch all of those movies that I put off during the year, because I was either taking classes or grading papers.\n\nThose are just a few of my favorite things to do during the summer.  Thanks for the question!

Unless you are at a school of technology,with more tech that I have seen in a highschool, both of your example projects are way out of reach.  and unless you improve your english,written and I am assunimg verbal, it wont matter what project you turn in.  My high school project was the effect of different diets, high fat, high cholesterol, high salt and high protein  on the performance of albino rats in simple to complex mazes.  The project lasted the entire school year.

I don't think that you can "get" teachers to do anything on holidays.  I would recommend hiring a private tutor.  You should be able to find a high school or college student that would not cost a fortune.

First things first. I personally do my things according to how important the thing/project is. Then I go one at a time with a faster pace - fast enough not to make mistakes otherwise, I have to redo it and it is obviously a waste of time already spent. Everything is important so make a list of the ones thats due sooner. Make A to do list and check them out soon as you are done. Just calm down and focus.

You've just got to do the work and make it fun as well. School work isn;t really fun, but if you have a good time with friends AND get the work done it makes it sooo much easier.

Try registering with a temporary agency.  That way, when one assignment ends, if you have something planned, you do not have to take another until you are ready to do so. They do both part time and full time placements. You can also say you do not want to work the summer, then start again in September.  You can also accumulate vacation time with some of them, after working enough hours.

I would love to help you. Along with your essay, make a small project like a tree, and how each BRANCH(get it) works. Unfortunatly, You waited until last minute. I have done that; it is not the way to go

I think it's a good idea to get a project plan together instead of what some of the other writers said, leaving it open ended...not good with low motivated students.\n\ncooking is great. \n\nHow about art/math: a snowman project can teach fractions. One half the lump of clay is used for the "big" part of the snowman. One fourth the lump of clay is used for the "middle". One eighth the lump of clay is used for the "small" part, etc. \n\nMake a movie where students teach a concept. They write the script and act/demonstrate.\n\nWork on persuasive writing by illustrating and narrating a movie that trys to convince their audience.\n\nIf you could have and authentic audience ( ie post movies on website) it would increase their level of motivation.\n\nWrite a rap song about a curricular topic.\n\nSounds like your kids will have fun.....go for it!

Divide your time into blocks, much the way your day at school already is divided.  Have a block for homework, a block for dinner, a block for TV, etc.  It is up to you to stay on schedule.  There will be times when you will not have the time to use the TV block because you have too much work to do.  Likewise, there will be times when you have less homework and can use some of that time to play.  They key is to stay on schedule, everyday, even if you got off schedule the day before.  Good luck!

It is difficult to get it all in one go. The days you are working, and weekends are free for you but not for him. Does he need to devote his time to his students evety Saturday? Could he not swap say twice a month so that he can spend time with you and the children?\n\nIm sure there are ways around it, be it him only doing it once or twice a month. If its money, could you not try working a little extra to compensate?Im probably getting this all wrong but without being in your shoes I can only put ideas there.\n\nThere are winners here, the question is are you both prepared to sit down and work it out? In a mothers eyes, we dont see where the problem lies with sacrificing one day a month to go on a family outing.  But this is a man who is obviously devoted to his career and he enjoys what he does.\n\nIt doesn't mean that he doesn't get to see his family in the process.

See if you can go to summer school and make it up. Good luck!
