PA boy graduates HIGH SCHOOL after taking accelerated online courses

Thefacebook is remarkably well-designed and fast, and—mostly because it cuts social networks down to the university-level—it seems to be much more versatile and interesting than Friendster and other humanity-scale social network websites. And it doesn't have some of Orkut's cool features, like "crush matching" and instant discussion boards. Unfortunately, everyone is still at the same level, meaning that "collecting friends" without any sort of prioritization is still present.

Reports are always checked before they go out, so they do not lead to any misunderstanding. Generally, reports are individualised and usually very carefully thought out so as not to cause any issues and they are usually followed up by a parents evening, giving the family a chance to discuss any pertinent issues.'

You can list the rosters for your classes or search for reading techniques people by class, so it's easy to find out if your friends have profiles, or whether that hot chick who sits in front of you is single. "Find out who is in your classes." Thefacebook gives you the option of listing your current classes through a smart pull-down menu interface.

Speaking to MailOnline, Adam Speight a teacher based in Wales and a content writer for Access Education GCSEPod, says that he doesn't 'understand why negative terms' are used by some schoolteachers in reports.

Tanner began reading and doing math at age three. Following a few years of homeschooling and a high school curriculum that took him two years to complete, he began taking college classes when he was nine.

Other things include options to list your high school, political orientation, residential location, contact info, major ("concentration"), birthday, and summer plans, most of which are searchable items. Interestingly, it seems to keep track of campus newspapers, so your profile will automatically cite you if your name appears in any articles.

Nowadays, it may also be harder for parents to truly understand what is meant by the reporting cards as these days feedback such as 'could try harder', 'must try harder', or 'talks too much' is rated by a number or a little mark.

"Search for people at your school." Unlike Friendster, Thefacebook is primarily interested in connecting people at a given university, and so your main social network consists only of people at the same school you're in. It's possible to add friends from other schools, but they're labeled separately as such (under the names of their schools.)

The latter is actually a very powerful tool for learning for the helpful student and the one struggling, but if this is combined with "talkative", they may be being "helpful" at the wrong time. Other times this can be them helping another student who is struggling.

Working memory was assessed by the researchers asking children to repeat a dictated series of numbers, with one extra digit added to the series every time the child remembered the previous series correctly.

As of June 29, 2004, Thefacebook supports Boston College, Berkeley, Brown, Boston University, Caltech, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Emory, Florida, Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, Michigan State, MIT, Northeastern, Northwestern, NYU, Penn, Princeton, Rice, Stanford, Tulane, Tufts, UC Davis, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, UNC, USC, UVa, Washington, Wellesley, and Yale.

Talkative: This is usually a restrained way of saying "really irritating and disrupting learning for others / wasting my time".

They have likely been moved places in class a few times because they'd rather talk about anything other than the lesson.

"See a visualization of your social network." I admit I haven't actually tried this, since it requires the SVG plug-in, and I'm too damn lazy to install it. Presumably, it takes the 'degrees of separation' concept further by making a pretty vectorized chart of your social network. This sounds like one of those features that'll get axed later on when it starts bringing down the server.

Ms Watts explained why specific terminology is seen throughout report cards - such as 'needs to proof read work,' 'needs to ensure they are trying hard,' 'pupil tries hard,' 'pupil finds XYZ difficult' .
