You have done three years "diploma" in university and you want to know if it equates to an American high school, if I have paraphrased properly. Based on my knowledge of high school level training, you are eons above any student in high school in the area of mechanical engineering.

some of them. But movies tend to show only the most photogenic of examples. Cheerleaders are not always blonde, nor as "gorgeous" by limited Hollywood/magazine standards, nor are football players necessarily as attractive. Popular people are notnecessarily B**chy either. Also, smaller schools may not have football teams at all.

Yep, exactly. And the losers alwasys win in the end.

Gay rights in schools (USA)
Gay rights in schools (USA) ??????
Schools in USA, do they promote "gay rights" and "anti-homophobia" I know in most states same sex marriage is illegal so would they promote "gay is okay" if they can't even get married by the law? I know in Canadian schools promote "gay rights" and "anti-homophobia" they have signs all over my school saying things like "homophobia free zone" I am not gay or homophobic, I am just started thinking about that when I read this question,

1 :
No unlike Canada we value freedom of speech and expression so if people wanna be mean then let them be mean. If they wanna be nice then let them be nice.
2 :
well if it was up to me i would round up all these gays and give them all a good seeing to
3 :
Idk...all the homosexuals in the school I went to were afraid to come out. I dont know why. You could totally tell. That is only with gay dudes. I dont have any gaydar on lesbos tho. Most schools seem to promote antihomophobia but think how a teacher would respond if you came out with it.
4 :
my school has a couple flyer's like that. and there's like this club or something for homophobic's and homo pride or something
5 :
The US is insanely close minded about this stuff. Even if the staff at the schools all over the country wanted to enforce tolerance and such, most people would complain in the first place. I think it would be better if the US were more supportive of people who chose to live a different way but I guess being different means that you can never be happy or treated with respect. In truth, I hate the ignorance of this country. So in short, no. No homosexual tolerance in our schools due to close mindedness and ignorance!
6 :
If they do promote these things, they shouldn't. Our schools should be places of education, not indoctrination. You see, it isn't the job of the state to influence morality and this is exactly why I home schooled all three of my children. I did it to keep them away from the majority of liberally minded teachers so prevalent in our schools today. As a parent, I am the only person that has say in what my children believe and if I want to teach my children to hate gays, that is my business. If I want to teach them to love gays that is my business. Either way, the state has no place in it. As parents that is our responsibility alone.

In the USA, school starts in August and ends in May. The rest of the year is summer vacation, when there is no school at all until it starts again in August. This can differ a little bit however, because in some states, schools start later or earlier than this, but the amount of time in school is the same. This schedule is for the majority of schools, not just high school.

what USA school class would u have to take in high school (9-12) to learn about the 3 musketeers in France.. or about pirates and how they sailed the seas and fought people and stuff?? ima freshman and im just wondering, cause American history is kinda sucky no offense :[

The three musketeers are part of literature and pirates are a rather minor part of history, so it sounds like the class you are looking for would be pop history (which isn't taught). If you're talking about history of the world other than the US, that is generally the Freshman year. American history does have some dull bits, but so does the rest of the world; the difference is that most of the rest of the world has had a longer time to develop more good parts.
2 :
What she said ^^ except that here in Kentucky world history (world civ) is taught at the sophomore year.
3 :
Well no US history class is going to teach you about fictional French people. I doubt there are any US History classes that will teach you much about pirates since by the time of Colonial America pirate life had died down a lot, and by the time of actual America it was near nonexistent. Pirates played a small part in early america. But American history does not suck. But no, it does not have much sword play. When the US was formed it guns had pretty much replaced swords. Cowboys, and Pioneers are the folk heroes of American life. Nearly ALL modern sci-fi is based in someway on American frontier life

You probably won't find a song that EVERYONE knows, but I would think a well-known showtune would go over well. Something along the lines of Eidelweiss from the Sound of Music, or There Were Bells from The Music Man. Both are slow and mild, which I'd think would be good for a "relaxing room." Break a leg!

I don't believe any state has a required class on accounting for secondary school students. However, some schools might offer an elective class (one not required for graduation but that the students can choose to take) on accounting. Normally, for students going to college, the high school math classes are algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalculus/trigonometry, and maybe calculus. Most colleges and universities in the US offer degrees in accounting.

First of: research "German school system". There are three types of "high school" in germany. Hauptschule, which goes up to ninth grade, or jsut up to when people are 16. than there's Realschule, which goes up to tenth grade, so up to when people are 17. And than there's Gymnasium, which used to go up to 13th grade, now will go up only to 12th grade. Hauptschule enables kids to go into apprenticeships, but not even for all apprenticeships out there. Plus, they are not really taken on for many apprenticeships that they would legally be qualified for. Realschule enables kids to go into every apprenticeship programm, though even they are not accepted for some types of jobs, the employers basically simply wanting higher trained people (has to do with computerization and rising technical standards in the jobs). With Gymnasium, kids can go on to University, or they can go into really every apprenticeship they want. As you can see, the type and quality of education those three school types provide is very different. Hauptschul-kids largely don't really care whatsoever you are doing wherever you are doing it. Realschul-kids do have a little wider horizon, but even they basically are not really interested in your foreign policy. They have enough to do with getting ready for getting an appretniceship, and the basic history and social studies and computer skills lab and English as a foreign language and German classes and ethics and maths and physics and Chemistry and so on. Kids on Gymnasium have a couple of more years to think and be informed about stuff like that. Usually, foreign politics are discussed in social sciences, foreign language classes (in this case: English), politics classes, history classes. Basically, I'd say if they care about the stuff you mentioned: Their view of the US differes nationwide, depending on if they live close to US bases in Germany or not. Your being in Iraq is your thing, but you bombed your way in there largely on a scam (there was no way the US coud have found out that 9/11 was planned, funded or whatever in Iraq, and if so, not by the whole country! And there were no mass destruction weapons!), Germany told you it thought you were acting irrationally fast and irresponsible, with insupportable harshness, and we were not going in there besides you on that ill-founded information you provided, and than after you had gone on with your plan of action, you came to us begging us to help you pay for the damage you had done and help the poor people in Afghanistan and Iraq. Think again! You wanted to break it, we told you you were being s.t.u.p.i.d, you broke it, and than you come to us and want us to fix it. Not going to happen! Stop acting like a child. I know 9/11 was horrible, and you are loosing a hell of a lot of great people down there, but stop blaming that on lack of support from other countries, acting as if the US were the brave heroes of the world and everybody else are just sissies. Everybody else is just asking questions and think before we act. After all, wasn't that what everybody told us Germans we needed to learn, after WW2? Now that we do, you don't like it either, cause we're not on your side and "it isn't fair". Yeah, well, suck it up! That, basically, is the predominant opinion of Germans per se about the US and their wars. And that, predominantly, is what kids get put into them in school, too. Which, of course, is also questionable, as they think they are thinking those things themselves, when it really is just the opinion of theri teachers and parents put into them. IT is just such a nice, reasonable sounding opinion that it is easy to say it is well founded. And about exchange students telling you she doesn't liek the US because "you are all pigs": Well, a fine job you have done representing your country, haven't you? Maybe it's time you all had a look in the mirror!

what do i have to do to swich from high school in the usa to a japanese school
what do i have to do to swich from high school in the usa to a japanese school?
Japan - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
always when you change schools, you want to make sure you can transfer as much credits as you can even if you are going to Japan. another thing is you might have to take a entrace exam to get in to Japanese high school. each high school has different level such as smart school or average school etc...
2 :
Why would you want to do that? Do you want to study more, attend "cram school" on weekends and evenings, and wear uniforms to school? How's your Japanese? All classes are held in Japanese...well, except language classes...and they are difficult even if your skills are those of a native speaker. At graduation, the typical high school student will know some 1500 - 2000 Kanji characters, know the hiragana and katagana alphabets, and know the english alphabet. Then, there's math and science. Conservatively, a Japanese high school student's knowledge compares well with a typical U.S. college sophomore.
3 :
I don't know. Switch countries.
4 :
You will need your parents' permission and their presence in Japan, the Japanese school's permission, money for tuition (yes, you have to pay!) and a good understanding of written and spoken Japanese. Most schools will not even deal with students who cannot speak and read Japanese fluently, except those who come on an official exchange program. There are special high schools in Tokyo that accept returnees (Japanese children who have been abroad), so they will not disturb their regular area high schools.
5 :
I actually transferred Jr high school, so I'm thinking it's pretty much the same thing. You will need to take part in an entrance exam. The requirements differ for each school, so check with the school you are considering to make sure you meet all the requirements. You will need a copy of your grades (I had to turn in from grade school onwards), and pay the exam fee. It will also be good if you are fluent in Japanese, as there will probably be some kind of exam in Japanese. (I had written as well as an interview) But this is all in the case of transferring to a private junior high school. Since it is not considered mandatory to attend high school in Japan, please note that some kind of tuition will be needed even if you decide to attend public school. Good luck!

I assume you are looking at master's degree programs. As a degreed engineer, you are qualified to try for admission to biomedical engineering as a graduate program. According to many rankings lists, and to me, who used to employ biomedical engineers, the best biomedical engineering schools in the US would include: - Johns Hopkins - Georgia Institute of Tech - U Washington - Case Western - U Cal San Diego - Duke - Boston University - U Michigan Ann Arbor - U Pennsylvania - MIT - Rice With Johns Hopkins being the strongest.

In the US, there is no national standard. Each local school system sets its own policies. Within each state there are also different policies, which are enforced for the school systems in that state. So, to do your project, you would be better off focussing on one state, and then visiting the Department of Education for that state. Or, you could choose a local school system and visit the website for that. Local school systems can be County wide, or township wide, or city wide.

professional licencing [includes nurses] in US is run by the individual states. each state has their requirements avail on the internet. google will find the entry websites for you for any state you're interested in. the good news is that many US states have a shortage of nurses. That means there is a fair chance of getting a work visa -- the the US government's website for details. I would not be surprised to discover that a US employer has to apply for the visa on your behalf. There is an employer certification required saying that they're tried and failed to full their position with a US citizen. Which may mean that you need to find a US employer as the first step. [Hint: major hospitals in large cities are more likely to know how to navigate the paperwork to facilitate your work visa and licence. Hospitals in those cities with many German tourists and/or many German business travelers may need your German language skills which they'll likely be unable to find in the US labor market.] What kind of nursing do you wish to do?

Well FIDM doesn’t offer a masters program in fashion design, but they do offer the Bachelor’s of Science in Business Management that I friend took and she loved it! After graduating from the fashion design program at FIDM, she decided that she wanted to expand on her business skills by getting a Bachelor’s in Business Management which complemented her fashion design skills very well. I would look more into the bachelor’s of science in business management program at FIDM, it may be just what you’re looking for. Go to their web site at: www.fidm.edu for more information.

After graduating from the fashion design program at FIDM, she decided that she wanted to expand on her business skills by getting a Bachelor’s in Business Management which complemented her fashion design skills very well. I would look more into the bachelor’s of science in business management program at FIDM, it may be just what you’re looking for. Go to their web site at: www.fidm.edu for more information. Hope this helps :)

Is this ever discussed in a law school course on "USA Constitution
Is this ever discussed in a law school course on "USA Constitution?
The idea Ben Franklin's Son offered: The notion that the complexity of separation of power as set out by constitution was actually designed to assure that the common person had less rights, more than to assure their rights were protected. In my own words believe he was talking about how greasing the palm that would develop to get anything done would assure only those with lots of grease would ever get anything done.

If your GPA in your science classes is higher than your overall GPA, that will increase your chances. It doesn't really matter what you major in for US med schools as long as you do well in all your pre-med courses. It sounds like you've already graduated.... if that's the case, it will matter what you've been doing since graduation. Some medical schools take more students from "non-US" universities than others, so you may want to research which schools you'll have the best chance of getting into.

How does the public school system work in the USA
How does the public school system work in the USA?
Does it offer a good education or is it just for people who can't afford a private school?
Primary & Secondary Education - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Some of the public schools are excellent (even better than some private). There are some families who could afford to send their children to private schools, but choose a public school because it offers a better education. Some public schools, however, are not so good. It really depends on where you live. Higher crime areas tend to have public schools that are suffering. . There are also some good and bad private schools too.
2 :
Public schools do offer a good education. It definitely isn't for people who can't afford private school anymore. Basically, in the U.S. you have 13 years of school. Kindergarten and then grades 1-12. Some parents elect to have their child attend preschool or prekindergarten when they're 3 or 4. Children generally enter Kindergarten when they're 5 or sometimes 6. This year the teacher assesses whether or not each child is ready to go onto real schooling which starts in grade 1. Elementary school is generally Kindergarten through grade 5. This is where you learn basic skills and basics in subjects. You learn handwriting, cursive, addtion, subtraction, multiplication, division, sometimes fractions. You have 1 teacher that teaches the primary subjects, but usually there are music teachers, gym teachers and art teachers that students usually go to once a week. Middle school is usually grade 6-8. This is basically preparation for high school. You have more than one teacher, one for each subject area. This is basically the transition period between elementary (basic) education and higher education. High school is usually from grades 9-12. During this time you learn all you really need to know to get by in life, although it is highly encouraged that students attend college. During high school students have the option of taking academic, college prep, honors or AP classes. Academic classes are basic classes for studenst that only plan to graduate from high school. College Prep classes are a little more writing intensive than academic and they are designed to prepare students for college. Honors and AP classes are harder, more challenging classes. Many regard them as college classes in high school. By taking these courses, you usually have a higher GPA. These courses are weighted to compensate students for the difficulty of them. Also, for AP classes you can receive college credit. You can elect to take the AP exam for a particular subject and if you receive a high enough grade, it counts as college credit. Another thing, Colleges would rather see a student receive a C or B in an honors or AP class then an A in academic or college prep. The public school system is regulated by the federal government, state government and then school districts. For example, the federal government imposed the No Child Left Behind Law, so the state government interpreted that law and decided what to do to enforce that law. The school districts must comply with the state. With this No Child Left Behind Law, states generally require all students in a certain grade level to take standardized tests to assess how well that school district and the individual schools are doing to make sure every child is learning or understanding. If a school has good scores on these standardized tests, they are rewarded by receiving more money from the state. Schools that don't have all of the students receiving passing grades on these tests are usually given a warning by the state. The schools that have the lowest scores and those that continue to have lower scores may be intervened by the states. These schools receive less money. Money is basically an initiative for schools. That's basically an overview of the public school system. Most public schools do offer a good education. If they don't, the state intervenes. The schools that usually do bad on the standardized tests are usually inner city schools. Students are not in a good environment....there is crime and the students would rather have street smarts than school smarts. However, these students are usually receiving a good education, they just don't care and don't try hard. I would say private schools are the equivalent to public schools that receive high scores on the standardized tests really. They aren't too different. There are some private schools that aren't great, just like there are some public schools that aren't great. Overall though, no matter where you go to school the U.S., you have an opportunity to receive a good education.
Does it offer a good education or is it just for people who can't afford a private school?

Some of the public schools are excellent (even better than some private). There are some families who could afford to send their children to private schools, but choose a public school because it offers a better education. Some public schools, however, are not so good. It really depends on where you live. Higher crime areas tend to have public schools that are suffering. . There are also some good and bad private schools too.

Public schools do offer a good education. It definitely isn't for people who can't afford private school anymore. Basically, in the U.S. you have 13 years of school. Kindergarten and then grades 1-12. Some parents elect to have their child attend preschool or prekindergarten when they're 3 or 4. Children generally enter Kindergarten when they're 5 or sometimes 6. This year the teacher assesses whether or not each child is ready to go onto real schooling which starts in grade 1. Elementary school is generally Kindergarten through grade 5. This is where you learn basic skills and basics in subjects. You learn handwriting, cursive, addtion, subtraction, multiplication, division, sometimes fractions. You have 1 teacher that teaches the primary subjects, but usually there are music teachers, gym teachers and art teachers that students usually go to once a week. Middle school is usually grade 6-8. This is basically preparation for high school. You have more than one teacher, one for each subject area. This is basically the transition period between elementary (basic) education and higher education. High school is usually from grades 9-12. During this time you learn all you really need to know to get by in life, although it is highly encouraged that students attend college. During high school students have the option of taking academic, college prep, honors or AP classes. Academic classes are basic classes for studenst that only plan to graduate from high school. College Prep classes are a little more writing intensive than academic and they are designed to prepare students for college. Honors and AP classes are harder, more challenging classes. Many regard them as college classes in high school. By taking these courses, you usually have a higher GPA. These courses are weighted to compensate students for the difficulty of them. Also, for AP classes you can receive college credit. You can elect to take the AP exam for a particular subject and if you receive a high enough grade, it counts as college credit. Another thing, Colleges would rather see a student receive a C or B in an honors or AP class then an A in academic or college prep. The public school system is regulated by the federal government, state government and then school districts. For example, the federal government imposed the No Child Left Behind Law, so the state government interpreted that law and decided what to do to enforce that law. The school districts must comply with the state. With this No Child Left Behind Law, states generally require all students in a certain grade level to take standardized tests to assess how well that school district and the individual schools are doing to make sure every child is learning or understanding. If a school has good scores on these standardized tests, they are rewarded by receiving more money from the state. Schools that don't have all of the students receiving passing grades on these tests are usually given a warning by the state. The schools that have the lowest scores and those that continue to have lower scores may be intervened by the states. These schools receive less money. Money is basically an initiative for schools. That's basically an overview of the public school system. Most public schools do offer a good education. If they don't, the state intervenes. The schools that usually do bad on the standardized tests are usually inner city schools. Students are not in a good environment....there is crime and the students would rather have street smarts than school smarts.
