Transferring credits from online school?

Transferring credits from online school?
I am currently a student at Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix, Arizona, but I am taking online courses through the Mesa Distance Learning Program due to the fact that I started school late because I moved to Phoenix after school had already started. Well now I’m going back to live in Denver, Colorado and I’m wondering if my credits will transfer. I have acquired a total of one credit from Geometry and English (both ½ a credit each). I have not been able to take Science or any other classes due to time constraints. How will this prepare me to be a student at Mountain Range High School in Denver? How will I take Science, Social Studies, etc. when I’ll be starting school halfway through the school year? I would love to finish out the school year taking online courses but am worried that my credits won’t transfer next year when I will start regular school. Can someone please explain how I will resume school at MRHS if I haven’t taken all of the required classes and if my credits from online school will transfer? Thank you!

What would be a good comedic book/novel/movie that could become a musical?

What would be a good comedic book/novel/movie that could become a musical?
I am fifteen and found out that Legally Blonde the Musical was written and created by a student at Arcadia High School in Phoenix, Arizona. (Yeah Arizona!) Anyway, I've decided to attempt to write another big hit musical based off either a movie, book, short story or even an idea. Please tell me some-but make them fairly short and available to the public/me to be reviewed and edited. Thanks!

Go rent 'The Producers'. It'll show you that anything can be turned into a musical - maybe not a GOOD musical....but a musical all the same :-)

How about the book: Better off famous?-that question mark is part of the title It's about a girl who wants to go to julliard to play the violin. She's 16 and she doesn't get a drivers license or get into julliard. However, a producer asks her to audition for his new show, Country Day, and she gets the role. Her whole life gets turned around-read the book you'll want it as a musical trust me!! How about Enchanted-but with more songs?? That could work!! OMG OMG OMG you could do 13 going on 30!! How perfect would that be? THE MOVIE: ANASTASIA-it would be soooo great and that song: Once Upon a December is just so perfect!! Do Anastasia!! Julia

My dad gave me this idea and I think he's right: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" would make a great musical. It's already got all the characters, comedy and music built in, so it would be so easy to make it into a musical. But I don't know how much you'd have to pay for the rights. And you're a high school student?? You'd have to pay for the rights for just about any movie or book, so I don't know how you'd do that.

A good lawyer should have a broad academic background- so you have a wide choice of fields when it comes to picking a major. History, Lit, Political Science- any of the Liberal Arts fields would be excellent. So too would things like psychology, sociology, Anthropology; your critical thinking/analytical abilities are what matter more than the field of study. So long as you like it and do well, you will stand a good chance of passing the LSAT adn getting into law school. I say these things because though you have a clear goal (which is great) it is not always wise to be too narrowly focused at this stage of the game. Once in college- who knows!? You may find another path that is even more fulfilling/appealing! And these days, having 2 or more "real" careers in your lifetime is more and more the norm (and more fun)!

I live in Arizona, and I want to become a Petroleum Geologist. What school should I go to?

I live in Arizona, and I want to become a Petroleum Geologist. What school should I go to?
I live in Phoenix, and ASU recently stopped offering Geological Sciences as a BS and now all they have is the Earth and Space Exploration degree with a concentration in geological sciences. I would much prefer to stay in Phoenix, but I could move to Tucson and go to U of A. If I did that, would the Geosciences or the Geological Engineering degree give me better opportunities? HELP!

Yes, Go to the U of A Good luck I don't think that there is anything in the Pheonix area for you The University of Texas, Permian Basin has a good mining school http://www.utpb.edu/utpb_adm/academicaffairs/collegeofartscience/DeptofPhysicalSciences/deptsofphysicalsciences.htm And there is a good one in NM, I think it's the NM Institure of Mining and Technology http://www.ees.nmt.edu/

I'm a Geological Sciences professor at ASU and I thank you for your question. The first thing I'd like to point out is that the new BS ESE degree/Geological Sciences concentration at ASU is still completely a Geological Sciences degree--all of the important core courses are still there. We made changes to the degree primarily to give ASU students more flexibility in focusing on a specific major, and to allow students to take better advantage of the broad range of geoscience expertise offered by faculty in the School of Earth and Space Exploration. The most important geological components of the earlier degree are all still there and you are still studying Geology! Just ask any of our majors--or, more tellingly, see where they go after they graduate. The second thing I'd like to note is that to become a professional Petroleum Geologist, you will need to earn a Master's Degree after completing your BS degree. The BS degree is not a terminal degree for this field--its principal function is to prepare you for graduate study in your chosen field. And I can assure you that the ASU BS degree will prepare you for Masters study in Petroleum Geology just as well as BS degrees from other quality institutions like UA, UT, and NMTech. So you don't have to leave the Valley if you don't want to. Please feel free to contact me or other professors via the ASU SESE website (sese.asu.edu) if you have further questions. Thanks Prof. Steve Semken

I have no money and need to move myself and my children to Texas from phoenix Arizona next week?

I have no money and need to move myself and my children to Texas from phoenix Arizona next week?
Hello, I have been living with my mother since my split with my husband. Me and her are not getting along in fact she has already thrown me and my kids out once. A friend of mine who I have known since grade school, was kind enough to offer to let me live with her, at her home in Longview Texas. I have absolutely no money, and two small boys who are my life, I also have one dog that needs to move with me...I have very few possessions, but a little more than i could take with me on a greyhound bus. I cannot leave anything behind, because what i do have is necessities for my children and myself. Can anyone please let me know of any organizations, or assistance programs in phoenix arizona i can possibly get help getting moved to Texas, sometime next week. This is a dire emergency, I really need the help and don't know who to call for help....thank you for your answers I am 25, my boys are under five years of age, i have asked all my friends, and all my family, my mother is being totally insane and throwing me and her grandkids out because i dont like the way she treats them...so she would never give me a vehicle, and anyway I cant drive! and even if i could borrow a car, i couldnt afford the gas to get there....but again i cant drive..... Look, I want to go to Texas from Arizona, im already in Arizona. My friend in Texas offered because she has a large home, and two kids of her own *twins*, she loves children and grew up in a very large family so i dont think my kids will be an issue. I have a job waiting for me in Texas, I am not lazy and I currently am working but gave my notice due to this move. I am neither drinking or on drugs thank you! I havent messed with anything like that since i was a teenager. My dog will be in my friends backyard with her dog, so my dog wont be a problem either. Basically this a roomate situation, I will be paying her rent and supporting myself there, just need to get there! I am not lazy nor am i freeloading off my mother. I left my ex husband who beat me and hit my eldest son one time, and that day i called my mom and told her i was coming to arizona. Everything that me and my children use, eat, or wear is payed for by me...without a dime of child support from my deadbeat ex, and my mother doesnt pay my way either. I wont be leaching off of my friend, nor am i putting my "Mess" onto someone else....My mother is upset with me because i confronted her for her constant screaming at her grandson, and my mother fighting with my step dad constantly, and they will fight when the kids are in the room, im constantly having to stay in my room because i dont want my children exposed to more violence after what they just went through with thier dad. My children have no friends here, because thier father kept us locked in the house for five long years, and was extreemly controlling. This is a step up in the best interest of my childrens welfare. oh yeah, by the way the only family i have here in Arizona is my mom and distant cousins. The rest of my family is in texas, or other states. My friends cant drive me to texas not because they dont want to, its because they cant work around their work and college schedules to make time, otherwise they would take me in a heartbeat. I have spoken with my mother numerous times about trying to settle our differences in a calm and rational manner, but she refuses to work for a mutually agreeable solution to this argument between us. She is not mad at me for freeloading, which i dont do; in fact i have been paying her mortgage, cleaning her house, and even at times doing her own job for her on top of mine *she works from home*. I am a college educated woman, that payed my own way through school cause my mom was too broke, she spent her money shopping. I take excellent care of my children, in fact total strangers remark on how well behaved my kids are, and how polite they are. I dont know where some of you got the notion that I was some white trash, podunk, freeloadin bitch, livin on welfare and mama, and draggin my kids around....That is the polar oppiset of who i am. I am a hard working and independant woman. I was a stay at home mom for five years, and devoted myself to my kids *my husband wouldnt let me work*, since moving down here i immediatly got a job, and supported myself and payed my mothers bills as thank you for allowing me to stay with her. She told me to move in here, and when i told her i found an apartment, she flipped out saying i couldnt move out. I have severe back problems and could be living on disability but i'd rather work, and earn my way through life....so please before you judge try to be more understanding, and find out about a person before you slander them.

Being logical your friend will only take you for a few weeks to come to the realization that your kids are a pain in the butt and your dog is unnecessary in her house. She will not keep you long. You are better staying close to your family so they can help in an emergency. Find the father of your kids their grandparents! Be practical stay in Texas you already know the people, where everything is, you know were to find work. Moving to Arizona is another one of your mistakes. You have a lot of explaining to do to your kids. Let them keep their friends too. Use the following source, and stop drinking and using drugs.


5
Why don't you just go to a shelter. You need to stand on your own 2 feet. living with someone else just gets awful. You don't need to move all the way to Texas just to get a job. Do it right here in Az. You have no money because you have no job. I am sure if you sat your mom down and talked to her you could work something out. there are plenty of jobs in Phx. Plenty of single parents do it everyday. My mom moved us 4 girls to Phx from Mass. She had 3 waitress jobs. No child support. It was hard...but she did it.


6
What about a sense of pride? What about a sense of urgency about providing for your children? Quit being a wart on the butt of society and step up to the obligations you have taken on. There is probably a good reason your mother has had enough of you. Take a long hard look at your situation. Since you have been with your mother as a freeloader what have you done to get your life together? If you can't support your family and are not actively working toward taking care of that problem please don't be a burden to your friend, the only one left to put up with your BS. Get the dog a new home and the kids too if you have no intention of being a mother to them. They deserve more. It would be easy for people to get you hooked up with some charity or someone you can snow into taking care of your mess. The best help is getting you to realize that you have more opportunity than a huge percentage of the people in this world and you are asking for someone else to make it all happen. Be thankful for whatever you do have and be responsible. If you insist on making the move wait until you can afford to do so without being a burden to your friend. That will be very temporary.

I am going to college in Kansas near Kansas City, and I have my heart set to move to Scottsdale, Arizona, around the Phoenix area. My cousin lives there, and I love it! I've heard that the curriculum in Arizona (in grade, middle, and high schools) isn't that good, especially compared to Kansas and other midwestern states. But, I've also heard that the schools are improving. Can you tell me anything about that? I am looking in to teaching history at a high school level.

Good luck to you. The schools in Arizona are underfunded, pay teachers poorly, and class sizes are large. There is a lawsuit regarding the poor response to standardized tests; here is a quote: In the lawsuit, Plaintiffs allege that the state’s school funding system is arbitrary and not based on educational need. Plaintiffs allege Arizona ranks near the bottom in most national educational rankings; Arizona is next to last in school funding; Arizona ranks fourth from the bottom in teacher/student ratio; Arizona class sizes are above the national average; and Arizona’s dropout rate is high. http://www.lawhelp.org/Program/729/RTF1.cfm?pagename=Challenge+to+AIMS+Test+ The first year that the standardized tests were required was 2006, not much improvement has been made since then. Hope this helps

Your best bet is to go to each school's web site to make comparisons on what features you are looking for in a school. But, you shoudl also include your parents on the decision on what school you want to enroll in. If you want to academically compare one school against the other, you can go to the state Dept. of Ed. page to see how each school ranks against the other: www.ade.state.az.us Best of luck to you.

Call the school. Ask for a list. Schools differ on what they need.

this is not the appropriate place to ask - there are hundreds of thousands of schools in the US, and millions worldwide- finding the dozen or so people online who have that list is ridiculous. Call the school.


3
Most stores like Walmart and Target will have copies of supplies lists for each school district or even sometimes each school in the area, or you can call the school.

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
I'm not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas. Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don't have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown. Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren't I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers? * I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

yes actually! I went to school in Austin for a few years without a car and had no problems. Now I live in Tempe (right next to Phoenix) and still have no car and I do fine. Sometimes it's a hassle trying to deal with the busses, but it's not too bad. I'd say in Austin it's probably easier and more reliable to use public transportation than in Phoenix though. Austin is also more college student friendly, downtown Phoenix is kinda sketchy.
