waayyy cool!

oops, I mean too bad. hehe

I'm going to a public school for Drivers Ed, this summer... it isn't too bad, but this one girl didn't know what "discipline" meant. or, how to pronounce it.

I was home schooled since 5th grade.. just finished 11th, and I'm going to a Community College in the fall. gonna get a degree in something, so I can say I have one... from what I've heard, I know more about computers than some of the teachers, er, professors.

Public school isn't that bad. ;) But you sure do get a lot of ignorant people. I remember one time I was sitting in Geography class (it was part of History) and this one kid couldn't even point out France... It was pathetic.

I'm still in High School and once about 1 year ago this kid asked me where I was from and I told him Italy and he asked me "do you speak italy" and "what part of Germany is Italy".

I think he is ESL too!
It should be "Do you speak Italian"

The purpose of homework is so that you learn about the topic at hand. Posting it here and having people give you the answers isn't going to help you achieve that goal.

Atlas is correct in this matter. This is the wrong space to be asking for homework help. If one of you guys wants to PM or email Yupapa offering to help then you guys can take it off the board but please don't post it here.
