Typing Lesson

Also, what is the spiritual lesson in wanting someone you can not have?

Learning to accept what is, when you cannot change it, will give you peace. Of course, this also means you need to be able to assess when you can or cannot change it.

When something involves the will of another person, the limit is reached if you are being honest and fair with them. Wanting someone you cannot realistically have is part of growing up. It is common, for example, for people to have fantasies about having a relationship with someone famous. It helps define what you really admire. But if you fixate on one person to the extent that you do more than perhaps write a fan letter, you set yourself up for disappointment and possibly criminal charges.

That’s why celebrities need bodyguards.

There is a place literally walking distance from my house that’s really nice, but it seems a little pricy. The rates are $60 for a private half hour lesson, and $50 for a group hour lesson. Is it just me, or are these prices insane?

You can’t judge a riding lesson based on the price alone. For what the trainer/instructor is teaching, it may be just right or even too little. What kind of riding lessons are they? I suspect that it may be of a discpline,….dressage or hunter jumper or eventing or reining or cutting?….

If you want a cheap lesson, you might want to go with a backyard instructor. they charge about $20-25 an hour or less and they probably don’t have the credentials of that barn’s trainer/instructor.

For a dressage trainer/instructor, they can charge anywhere from $35 - 75 or more an hour.

What kind of training does the instructor have at that barn? If the barn is really "nice" then maybe the instructor has taken the time and effort to learn a lot about real horsemanship so the price will reflect that.

It takes YEARS of riding and taking instruction from top notch trainers to become an intructor who can and should rightfully charge a lot of money for having taken the time to aquire that kind of knowledge.

You get what you paid for. Maybe this instructor is also into competing, so the better the trainer, the higher the price.

Also, take into consideration your area. Is it high price? I suspect so. The cost of running a barn in your area may be substantially higher than other areas. Also, the type of lesson horses can reflect the cost, too. Are they warmbloods that are well proven?

I suspect there’s a good reason for the price. Find out what it is. If this person didn’t think they could get that price, they’d go out of business very quickly. Obviously, they haven’t.

As for your actual question: what’s a reasonable amount to charge for a lesson?

That depends on what kind of lesson and from who you’re taking it from and if you are using your own horse or you’re using the lesson horses available.

You can pay anywhere from $20 on up to a hundred an hour. Depends on your area, too.

Reasonable? That depends on the skill level of the trainer/instructor.

Anything having to do with horses is highly subjective. There is no "right or wrong" answer for this type of question. Depends on too many individual factors.

Singing, acting, dancing, telling jokes! What lesson did you learn from performing in front of an audience?

To keep focused on what you want to communicate.
To try to communicate with the audience and feed off of their energy.
To overpractice so you feel comfortable that you won’t make a big, noticeable mistake.
To perform it like you practiced it.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, how does Atticus’s lesson to scout about walking around in another persons skin apply to incidents with Miss Caroline, Walter Cunningham, and Burris Ewell? How could she have avoided trouble?

Because if she had walked around in their skin, she could have seen the situation from their point of view. I haven’t read the book for a while, but if the incident with Miss Caroline is the one where Scout gets in trouble in class, then Scout could have avoided that if she had seen it from Miss Caroline’s view because Miss Caroline was new to Maycomb and didn’t know the ways of the town, and if Scout had seen it from her point of view, she wouldn’t have gotten in trouble……

i think. haha.

Personal finance was slightly taught to me by my parents or in school. I had to learn how to balance a checkbook, the dangers of credit cards and about saving all on my own. What personal finance lesson do you wish you had been taught in your younger years & how would that have changed your current economic status?

I wish I could teach the world:
Don’t ever carry credit card balances - it ruins your credit
Don’t even think of leasing a car - its moronic
Don’t ever rent furniture
Don’t ever buy a time share
Don’t even think of financing furniture - save up for things.
Save to buy a car, as much as possible.
Put 20% down on a house - even if you think your friends will make fun of you for having a small house.
Put money away in a ROTH, 401K - as much as possible
Become as self- insured as possible - stop making insurance companies rich
Always have 6 months worth of living expenses socked away.

i had my introductory but next week is my proper lesson.

How was it for you? From then on did you realise becoming a pilot was for you?
Also do you think aged 17 [just turned] is ”old” for doing lessons now?
how many do you recommend doing in one month?

After my intro flight I was nothing but smiles and couldn’t wait to get started. I have to admit though, that not all parts of the training were always fun and I could feel both my blood and that of my instructor starting to boil at times, but I guess that’s all part of the training process. It can get very stressful at times and you may not grasp certain concepts immediately. Just keep in mind that most people don’t get certified in the minimum required time (average about 60 to 80 hours, I got mine in about 70) and be sure to save up, or have money in reserve for the extra expenditures.

There is also something else to be mindful of. From my experience, there are two kinds of post certified pilots. Many will get their pilots certificate and never fly again (i.e. they spent thousands of dollars for nothing). And then there are those, like me, that flying gets into their blood system like an incurable virus and you will forever want to keep flying (either as a hobby or as a living) and you might need to be prepared to spend a whole lot more money on training or for aircraft rental or purchase.

As for age and time. You only need to be 16 to start logging time so you are good to go. For how often, well, the longer it takes, the longer and more expensive it is. Flying is a degradable skill. If it’s not used, you loose it. Or at least you aren’t as proficient. If you don’t fly often then you may have to spend time brushing up on what you have learned or re learn it alltogether. So the more often you fly the better. Just be sure you can afford to do so.

I can’t seem to get my creative juices flowing at the moment, and I need to come up with some sort of simple-ish game that can explain a poem( who the speaker is, tone/mood, summary, theme, symbolism, ect), but the game has to invlove a class of students. I was thinking throwing a ball or having food rewards, but I don’t know what I would do to teach the lesson

It all depends on the age of your students. However, try this: put all the elements you want to discuss into a hat/box/can and pass this to one of your students…they pull out the piece of paper and read the element (tone, summary, theme, form, etc.) then try to answer the question. If they can’t answer it, the paper is passed to the next student, and the next, until someone can answer it. If nobody can answer it, the original student keeps the piece of paper and the can moves to the next student…after the teacher explains the answer…if one of the students answers the question, they keep the paper and pull out the next one. The game continues until all the pieces of paper are gone, and the winner (soda, apple, whatever) is the one with the most pieces of paper. This can be modified so anyone with a piece of paper get a prize, a star, whatever, and many poems can be used to increase the number of pieces of paper. The winner may result from several days worth of gaming, or each day. Also, after each question has been answered, the teacher would provide amplification on the answer provided by the student along with explanations as to how that part contributes to the overall nature of the poem. Oh…and of course, the can gets refilled for each poem.

hope this helps.

I am having to teach a math lesson following kindergarten curriculum. I have had a few ideas, however, it is for a college class math project, which means I will be teachin a room full of college kids. Have any ideas or examples of a kindergarten math lesson? Time limit is 10-15 minutes and I must have manipulatives….Please give serious suggestions.

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY DO SIMPLE MATH LIKE 1, 2, 3, 4… OR MAYBE EVEN 1 +1 EQUALS 2. THAT’S THE MOST KINDERGARTEN YOU CAN GET.
