I'm looking to go back to school.
Comments (11)Peoplle with a degree in Horticulture you have studies some botany but many other subjects. If you aim is to get Vocational training then study Horticulture with a emphisis in floral crop production. You can get there with a degree in botany/biology & then get practical on the job training I was finishing a degree in secondary education Biology, Chemistry & Physics. I asked a local grower if I could follow him around for several days & learn since all my studies concerned humans. He said yes & after a year of working with him I went on to get a masters in Horticulture. The point is there are many ways to get the job you wish. try a local grower, arboreatum, etc. Check night school at local Junior college etc. etc. etc....See MoreGoing back to school -- what do I need?
Comments (13)I would imagine that most students or at least those students looking to pass the course take notes during lectures. ;-) The question is what's the best way to accomplish that. Laptops certainly can be useful but only for "text." If the class requires the instructor to, for example, draw graphs, charts, or equations, you're going to have a heck of a time keeping up with a computer. I took some classes a while back and just used pen and paper. When I got home, I typed my notes for two reasons. My handwriting is atrocious and it was a good way to review the material; perhaps clarifying my notes or adding additional material. If I missed something or had questions, it was a good time to make a list for the next class too. If you want to go the tablet route, there are accessory keyboards available for the iPad and the big name Android tablets. You might want to do a little investigation into any instructor requirements. If, for example, they want your homework in, say, a Word document, you'll need a device that can run Word....See MoreBack to school organizing...let's start a thread
Comments (18)I thought for sure I posted to this yesterday. Obviously not. Now I feel like I've lost some memory of time yesterday. My kids go back Tuesday, this coming Tuesday, Aug. 1. I met the 4th grader's teacher yesterday. Gave her fair warning. I already know the 1st grader's teacher, the program she's in keeps the same kids together for K-3, it's called Intact Family. The kids move up together to the next teacher in the family. So I also know that when DS goes to K in a year, he'll be in that family and will have the same teachers DD has. I explain this because it actually helps with organization of back to school! The 1st grade teacher sent her packet of info, including the supply list, home last spring. DD is already familiar w/her teacher and knows where the classroom is for not only 1st, but 2nd and 3rd, too. If we're crunched for time, we could actually skip the meet-the-teacher night tomorrow. But she wants to go, so we'll go. My middle schooler will also meet his teacher tomorrow night. Then, with supply lists on my desk, I will change into my pajamas, make a cup of coffee, and buy school supplies on line! I love staples.com. It really is an easy button. Last year I ordered almost everything at staples.com, got free delivery b/c is was over $50 and it was all delivered to my front door by a Staples truck in 24 hours! I was ready to hug the delivery guy! He has no idea the headache he helped me avoid. We also keep overstock supplies, stock up when they're on sale this time of year. They always need something as the year goes, it's a great feeling to have it handy and not need to go after it. DH wants to rearrange the kids' rooms. He wants to move the oldest 2 in together in the biggest room, put the youngest in the smaller room alone. Then he wants a nice big table for computer and homework for the older boys. While I think that is a great idea, and the boys actually do, it's a lot of work! But considering the shared needs and activities of the older boys, it would be a better use of the spaces. I need to organize myself for back to school, that's the biggest thing. I need to make that main notebook like flylady talks about and commit to using it. I've got volunteer and PTA duties that need managed, the kids activities, household stuff, plus I've taken on caring for my neighbor's 7 m/o 3 days a week now (she's a teacher). So I've filled my plate, that's for sure. This time of year feels like a time for new year's resolutions to me, organizational ones in my case. I'm going to add magnet hooks for keeping papers on the frig to my Staples order, thank to Talley Sue. And a calendar, agenda for my notebook....See MoreWhat does "back to school" time mean for your home?
Comments (28)Ahh. Back to school. With only one of four left in HS, Back-to-School is dwindling. It is so much simpler now. There is only one child in one sport. And only one to track along on their school work. We will have time to deal with our overdue HOUZZ projects now that summer R&R is over. So let me weigh in on the controversial mamby-pamby comment. Hate to see name calling. It's negative and unnecessary. As for patience with the new traffic patterns, this is to the parents who take their children to their bus stops and feel compelled to chat with the bus driver. Please DON'T. It is really inconsiderate. The bus drivers are at work. They don't have time for social hour. It may brighten your day to "brighten their day" but it is not the time nor the place to "make a difference in the bus drivers' lives". I have been part of huge lines where the same parents do it daily. All the cars that are stuck behind the bus (and lawfully NOT passing the school bus) actually have somewhere to go. They sure do. Maybe it is an appointment. Or maybe, just maybe, they are trying to get to their job. Keep that in mind. Fortunately it is a small number of parents who want to chat it up. Unfortunately it has a big impact....See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
