a little bit of background info…

him: 34, never completed high school, works under the table doing construction, but work is very sketchy. has openly admitted several times to have no drive or desire to do anything with his life and has said he sees it as pointless cause someone from my or his family will die eventually and we will get money then. also claims that if he does not drink every night then he is unable to sleep. often tells me and our children that we ruined his life and took away his freedom, has as little to do with the kids as possible…on the flip side tho, he’s extremely good mechanically and with fixing things, and will drop anything he’s doing if his friends need his help, no matter when it is or what for. so i know he’s capable of doing stuff.

me: 26, in school for financial advising (online courses, from a local college) stay at home mom, in charge of the children, their school stuff, the household, and currently seeking a part time day job. i’m a social drinker, drank on july 4th, at the halloween party, and new years, haven’t touched anything since then, nor do i desire to. i’m very goal driven, i set high expectations for myself and my family, and i want to see them met, or atleast a real effort to meet the goals. i’m also a bit short tempered at times, esp with my husband and often tell him to do something with his life or shut up about it already.

together: 9 years, married 8, with 3 daughters, ages: 7, 6, and 5

problem: his lack of ambition clashes with my desire to better my life. he’s talked many times about going back to school, getting a stable job with benefits, learning about computers and IT, and much more, but every time when it’s came down to it, he has so many excuses why he can’t or won’t try. and he recently (within the past few months) started telling me that despite what he says, he really has no drive to do any of it. of course i get mad, and tell him he’s being a deadbeat and that with 3 daughters to provide for he needs to do something with his life and quit his bs because he’s not getting any younger (neither am i) and we’ve got kids who depend on us. he tells me to hurry up and finish my degree cause once that happens he can stay at home and not have to worry about getting a job cause i’ll be making decent money. my reaction is, heck no, you better do your part, this is your family too, quit being a slacker, man up and do something. he tells me if i don’t like the way he chooses to be, there’s the door, get out or deal with it. being currently unemployed with no family in the area (both my parents are dead) i can’t just leave and walk out, esp with the kids, knowing that right now i can’t provide for them, and i sure would not just leave them with him either. a big part of me wants out! i know he’s not going to try and improve his life or get a real career, he’s proven that, and i’ve given him 9 years to show me that he will, and he never has even really made any effort to, and it’s driving me to my breaking point.

-i’ve suggested counseling, he refused saying that if i see any problems, then i must be the one with all the problems.
-i’ve offered to help him study as much as possible if he’d agree to at least get his ged, he said that’s just a waste of time and all a diploma does is prove your a certified idiot.
-he’s very interested in automotive, and i’ve suggested he get ase certified, of course that idea got shot down as well.
-says he’s trying to get partnered with youtube through google ads to make money that way, it seems like a major long shot in the dark to me for that to happen…

anyways, what does everyone think? i know i’m tempermental, i’ll admit that, but he is driving me insane with his lack of anything in life…no real job, no drive, no goals, no ambition, etc…(and this doesn’t even touch on the girls i’ve found him talking to on craigslist or the people he trashed me to behind my back calling me a witch (with a b) saying i try to tell him how to live, that i ruined all his happiness and freedom, etc… please…help?! advice?!

So I took a year off right after I graduated last year in May.
I’m REALLY bad at school, I have really bad ADD and probably since sixth grade I haven’t payed any attention what so ever.
From 8th to senior year, I was in a charter school because it was a smaller environment so I concentrated better…
The probably is that all the work was done on computers and I cheated in all the tests.
Sooo needless to say, I feel fricken stupid as crap and I REALLY need help before I go into the course/s I really want to get into.

So my question would be:
Does anyone know of an online school or online classes I could take to help me refresh my memory on a lot of 8th to 12th grade stuff like Biology, Health, Science, Social Studies/History, Math, English, etc…?
Or something that could help me, even if it’s not online…

I don’t know, I just need some MAJOR help.

Any help is mucho appreciated.

I am looking for a career in lecturer/professor job in colleges for MBA courses. If I study MBA by online/part-time/executive is it worth it? What is the scope of these courses… Should I need to get into a B-School by taking up a MAT, CET exam and then study in a proper college fulltime for the lecturer job?

If so, where!? I’m sure you can, but I can’t find much. I don’t want to work towards and AA degree. Just take a few classes until I come back to the states to start college. They have to be accredited, and single classes..like math and english etc. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Euni :]

Im looking for another college becuase im attending a small private college thats TOO expensive. My act score was only 17 though. Do you know of a college search engine that lets you choose what you act score was, then brings up colleges that will accept an ACT score so low? Also do you know of any sites that let you apply online for free? Thanks!
Can i even take the SAT or retake the ACT if im out of college though??

My schedule currently looks like:

Biology 100
Biology Lab
MAT 155 (for Elementary Ed Majors)
Public Speaking
Psychology
EDF 200 – Intro to Education (for future teachers)
Physical Education – Stretching & Relaxation
Physical Education – Cardio Strength (Doesn’t begin until March)

I consider my PE classes leisure. They’ll keep me in shape and will help relieve stress. I will not get rid of them. I need my Math 155 class for my major. It goes deeper into the math that we will need to teach Elementary aged students. I want my Biology class because 1) I need a science + lab and 2) I honestly would like to take Anatomy in the future(I have my own personal Anatomy textbook because I enjoy it). I feel that Public Speaking will help me in speaking in front of the class and designing the class curriculum. So, I’m hesitant in getting rid of it.

The two classes I debate are EDF(Intro to Ed) and Psychology. EDF is a class required at this college for my major. However, I will not be at this college all four years. I can’t say this specific course is offered at most colleges. Apparently, the class is a waste of time, boring and the professor is rude. There are, however, many group assignments and people have met many friends in this class because of it. There are 200 students in this class.

The Psychology class is about 400 students. The class is held in the library, and I find this library to be so beautiful; it has a newly-remodeled appearance. The two professors apparently are great, funny and nice. The coursework is easy; there is one short essay in the class and the teacher is easy on the grading of it. There are weekly online quizzes, but students are allowed numerous attempts at it. My friend was failing the class, said it was the way the professor taught the class and always complained about having to go, but she’d blamed another teacher for her failing his class when I thought he was actually very clear and extremely nice. I took Psychology in HS, junior year and had an A+. I was somewhat interested in it.

I cannot keep both because this schedule equals 18 credits, including the 2 credits for my PE classes. I did not do well last semester and ended up failing a class. I wasn’t happy with my other grades.

MWF – MAT155 and Public Speaking, back to back, both 50 minutes, would be done at 12:20
TTh – Biology and Psychology, back to back, 1hr 15min each, would be done at 12:25

Bio Lab is 2hrs on Wednesday night and EDF 200 is 2 1/2 hrs on Tuesday night. My PE classes are at 3, one/day.
I plan on attending community college next year. I’ll worry about transferring for junior year.

I think I’ll drop Psychology. It wasn’t actually that the coursework was too difficult. I found it easier than my senior year of HS. I was going through a hard time, only got the chance to speak with a counselor once, was stressed and behind after having the Swine Flu for a week(had two papers due in the middle of that week and only got one in). I then was too lazy to do HW and always put it off for a later time. It’s what I do when I’m stressed. I was doing perfectly fine before I got Swine Flu. :0/
I’m not positive that I want to go into Primary Ed. If I transfer, I would go into secondary because of the college I may transfer to.

If I become a secondary teacher, I want to teach either Anatomy and Physiology(and would likely have to teach other sciences) or Algebra 1 and 2 (and would likely have to teacher other maths)

Im aware that manhattan college is the host school for the program once a week, but who do i contact about this? And will they accept me because im a distant learning student?

So, i’m currently a senior and, at least in my school, we (students) skip a LOT. I have incredible handwriting, and was musing about the idea of turning it into a business.

Now, the above statements are related in the fact that I was thinking about starting an online business where I would write whatever was requested. Now, this could include parent notes, but I wouldn’t forge a signature (it could also include love letters, writing college essays in good script, writing resumes, whatever).

What do you think? x.o

Okay so my guidance councilor is REALLY, really, REALLY stupid and isn’t helpful AT ALL. SO here, i need your guys personal opinions, and if any of you are guidance councilors somewhere else can help me so here are the classes i am taking. i am a freshman.

Journalism I (elective)
Spanish II (elective)
Algebra I Honors (required)
HOPE (required)
AP Human Geography

Now, im kinda nervous because A) im in algebra.. in 9th grade. that’s bad. even though its honors. & B) i am in physical sciences instead of biology.. which is really bad. SO what i need help with is improving my other classes like next year i was thinking i could do something like this..
