    Studing on the web

    Like I have droped out and working on my G.E.D now, is there any site that helps me, in math, language, reading etc.



    -Do you think reading/writing post here in realpolice.net helps me in anyway?
    -Reading police news in internet too?

    Ask your school counselor, scan, or the people you are getting your GED through. They should have a list of helpful sites for you.
    Are you sure you couldn't get back into school?

    Scan,

    Maybe it will help if some of us critique/review your posts. Take this as constructive criticism.

    "Studing on the web"

    Studying (spelling/typographical error)

    "Like I have droped out and working on my G.E.D now, is there any site that helps me, in math, language, reading etc."

    What is the purpose for using the word "like" in the beginning of the sentence?
    Dropped (spelling/typo)
    Suggested: I have dropped out of high school and am working on a GED. Are there any sites that could help me improve my math, language, and/or reading skills?

    "-Do you think reading/writing post here in realpolice.net helps me in anyway?
    -Reading police news in internet too?"

    Posts (plural)
    any way (separate - "any way" and "anyway" have different meanings)
    in THE internet or on THE internet


    Take my suggestions with a shaker of salt; I never finished college.
    I would not recommend reading other peoples' posts as examples of proper writing because many of them contain errors (spelling, grammar, etc).

    I recommend reading a lot of books and newspapers and keeping a comprehensive dictionary by your side. I also recommend writing something (essay, letter, report, etc) every day and having someone (preferably a teacher or tutor - someone knowledgeable/capable) proofread/edit/review what you wrote.

    My College English Grammar teacher encouraged us to read lots of magazines that are of a genre of interest to the reader.

    Ya know, in hindsight, I think "peoples'" maybe should have been "people's" ??

    Shoot, now "peoples" is starting to look like it's spelled incorrectly (the more I look at it).

    I knew I shouldn't have said anything... lol

    If you struggle with reading scan I think anything you read can be helpful. Esp if it is something that interests you.
    As for the best route to go, a lot will depend on what resourses that are available to you.

    Have you done any searches under the subjects you mentioned ?
    The web is not what it used to be, more and more of it now is on a pay basis, esp for "learning" info.

    Consider joining your local libary, you will find both current magazines and local papers there.
    You may also be able to find books that can help you tutor yourself in math and grammar.

    As far as language skills, I am unsure what you mean by that.
    Is english a second language for you ?
    Or is it for presentation only, you want to sound more professional ? If it is the latter, then perhaps just focusing on what you say will be helpful.

    Good luck scan

    Hey when i was in secondary school. My english tutor recommended one magezine - Playboy.

    They use proper and very perfect english in it. Sad case Malaysia are not allowed to sell those mags.

    But what my tutor said is really true not joking (probably those good old days playboys, the new one i have no idea) she not yet review eheheheheh.

    You just said two different things. You first stated "I've got NO chance on going back" - which indicates to me that you are not allowed back in school or for some other reason beyond your power. Then you say " I could go, but it won't do any good" - indicating that you CAN go back, but won't. Which is it?
    Even if you have to graduate from high school at age 19, or have to repeat senior year twice, DO IT!!!!
    Pssst... English should be capitalized.

    And i still think that English tutor is a perv, much like Switchb... oh, I wasn't supposed to tell! Disregard .... "But I just subscribe to it for the articles!" Yeah, ok.... RIGHT.

    FYI

    I took a test today on Science and after my teacher graded it, he told me to keep working on Math, Science, and Literature

    Stump, I can go back but I'm not going to. I have to chance on graduating on time, my friend that is also getting his G.E.D has a better chance on graduating, if you want, I'll explain why I don't have a chance, by PM cause I'm alittle embarassed of saying it
