June 3, 200719 yr What % of KY students head to college? I'm going to guess and hope at least 30 to 40. If anyone has statics I would like to see them. Here's the thing about that do you really know if your going or not during your freshman & sophmore years? I didn't. I'm sure there are a lot of students that don't so they should be taking the classes anyways just in case they change their minds. Just a thought!

I'm sure there are a lot of students that don't so they should be taking the classes anyways just in case they change their minds. Just a thought! My point in regards to that is this. EVERY student should know how to use his/her brain to do basic math before they move on to either the working world or college. Its a skill that is lacking from too many adults (some who would be considered "educated" or "smart") today.
June 3, 200719 yr We are focusing on calculators on here, but what about our over reliance on spell check and grammar check on word processors?

June 3, 200719 yr I've seen lots of examples of someone using spellcheck only to find that the word the spellcheck used was the wrong one. My problem with spellcheck isn't that I can't spell, it's that I don't proofread. If I don't see any red, squiggly lines I'm done! Then I find out I spelled "there" "their" or something.

June 4, 200719 yr Why? I would agree with some classes like those mentioned above. Do all kids have to take the 3 classes mentioned? Yes, all kids, AP, resource students, vocational students, etc. I do think some of the mentally handicapped students are given a waiver from these classes.
June 4, 200719 yr Watched an interesting thing tonight about Google.. On CNN I think... Maybe Fox News... But apparently Google keeps a record of every single thing that we have ever searched for... Not that I look at things that I'd be worried about being on record, but the fact that there is a record just weirds me out a little.

This sounds worse than it probably is though.

This sounds worse than it probably is though.There has to be a record so that the most relevant link to the topic you are searching is the first link to pop up for a certain search. It's basically there own market research.
