What city in Tennessee should I move to?
I am considering moving to Tennessee. I was told Memphis or the near suburban area. I need to be in a location where school is good (elementary). job market is good as well as affordable apartments-townhomes. A place that is somewhat similiar to living in Chicago, Illinois but maybe a little cheaper. What are your suggestions?

There isn't anywhere in Tennessee that is similar to living in Chicago, so you should get that out of your head now. I think your best bets would be Memphis, Nashville, or Knoxville. They all have things to recommend them. You should contact the Chamber of Commerce in each city for information on relocating there. That should give you your answer. Good luck.

Is posting a list of couples at a school the correct action against increased public displays of affection?
Is posting a list of couples at a school the correct action against increased public displays of affection?
In Memphis, Tennessee, a high school principal has come under fire for posting a list of known couples outside her office. This was mainly done in response to increased PDA in the school hallways, something of concern, understandably, to teachers and administrators. However, in doing this, she outed two gay students at the school who were in a relationship. She actually phoned one of the boys' mothers to inform her that he was in this relationship. This student has also been banned from attending a New Orleans school trip for fear that he'll "he would 'embarrass' the school by engaging in homosexual affection." Is this the right thing to do? Is this the best way to control PDA in schools?

I can understand the need for the schools to be careful regarding PDA. However I believe this one principal went too far. Sensitivity is not this administrator's middle name.
2
Personally, I think the principal needs to see a counselor!!!
3
well that sucks. bring attention to it...try to get the press involved what about the heteros...did they get banned from the trip?
4
seems pretty petty to me for a school official to do this. But in retaliation all the students in the school should pair up and make like they are in a relationship with another of the same gender. Then insist they all be added to the list. I suspect the principal will back off pretty fast once the whole school comes out as gay and demands they be on the list.
5
Its disgusting and homophobic. They should stop all the straight kids "engaging in heterosexual affection" too. Get the press involved...
6
hell no, it's a violation of privacy! it's no ones business who anyone is dating unless they want to make it be known. knowing who's dating who is not going to decrease PDA.... making PDA an offense punishable by detention- that will help. of course they must decide WHAT is PDA and enforce it across the board.

I don't believe that's right just because someone likes another doesn't mean that the principal should post it up in the school. And who cares if that embarrasses the school for someone gay.

Even though you failed two classes it is still possible to get into any college but it will take the next 2 to 4 years of hard work to prove to the colleges that you are worth the risk. Straight A's would be a good start. Extra curricular activities will also help. Even if you do not get into the college after you graduate, you still have a second chance. You have to to to a community or junior college for your first two years then transfer to TSU or Memphis. If you do really well in community college then you will be more likely to be accepted as a transfer. The added bonus about this way is that community college is cheaper and after you transfer and complete your degree, it will say TSU or U of M and not even mention the community college.

Don't worry. All hope is not lost. Just work hard and you will get into college. Here's a little secret. The University of Memphis offers developmental courses (fancy way of saying 'high school courses'). These are for people who didn't do so well in English/Math/etc. in high school. My friend had to take a few of the developmental math courses. The developmental courses would be the last option if you had to. I think that you still have a chance. Get tutoring if you have to. Find a study buddy. I know that you can do this! Just put some effort into it. You sound like you are very determined which will definately help you this upcoming school year. After my first semester of college, I had a 2.75 GPA. I was so determined to pull it up that I did pull it up to a 3.33 GPA. I have pulled it up even more! Just use your time wisely and study! You'll be fine! :)

Well I can't speak for Memphis, but in Rapid there is the School of Mines and Technology. This is a great Science and Engineering School, but doesn't offer much else. Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD isn't as prestigious but might have what you're looking for. (Both schools are public schools/cheap). Also there is Chadron State U. in Chadron, Nebraska. I don't know much about it, but I think it is within 4 hours of Rapid. For Wyoming you might want to search schools in Gillette, Newcastle or Sundance. Hopefully this helps and hopefully someone else can help you with schools in Memphis.

Well, whatever the market will bear. This company charges $50 per hour. http://www.professionaltutors.com/rates.htm

You have to decide why you are tutoring. Are you setting up your own business or just doing this on the side. I try to ask minimum wage for kids in school, but would ask more if I were tutoring a particularly difficult class such as college physics. You don't state what age group you are tutoring or subject. A lot depends on that and what your motivation for tutoring really is.
