NYC has no school tax. School taxes in NY State are traditionally tied to real estate taxes and are assessed locally. However, NYC has very low real estate taxes and has a local income tax instead. It then takes the income tax (and the real estate taxes) and make it all a part of the City budget. It then funds the school system directly out of the City budget. This is different from most local school districts in NY State, in which funding from real estate taxes is earmarked for the schools. I think the NYC system is much fairer, because it does not penalize people when the value of their home goes up. It also does not penalize elderly people on a fixed income for the increase in their home value, nor does it pit the eldery (who do not have kids in school anymore) against families with children. This kind of thing DOES happen in the rest of NY State, BTW.

Which school is better, New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts or the New York Film Academy?
I have both schools throwing scholarship money at me to attend their school over the other. I am receiving much more money from the New York Film Academy but I want to be positive about my choice. I visited both schools and toured them both thoroughly from the classes to the dorms. I just want to know which school is better for me in the long run. They both have quite a long list of big name people who came out of their schools but again, I just want to be sure.

NYFA SUCKS for acting. They're a film school NOT an acting school. NYCDA is MUCH better. My beef is with year+ conservatories and BFA/MFA programs is this. I believe in being more diverse in my training. The year+ programs can sometimes be like factories where they churn out actors who are taught pretty much the same thing through a structured curriculum. What might work for one person, will NOT work for a different person. Also, a lot of the conservatories and BFA/MFA programs have strict policies such as NOT being able to audition outside of their school or study at other places simultaneously. I think this is limiting to the actor. The actor should have the freedom to audition for outside projects and add to the current curriculum.

I do not live in New York, I live in Arkansas. So, the answer I give you is based upon the Dept. of Education here. But, I am hoping state departments of educ. are similar since they are all federally funded. In Arkansas, the state dept. has its own website (you can google yours at new york dept. of education and find it easily). Through your state dept., you should be able to find home schooling requirements (the home school students will have to be tested every year just like the students in a public school, the scores will have to be reported to the state dept. due to NCLB laws). I know here in AR, when a parent wants to pull a student out for home schooling, the school district provides the paperwork (or, can be down loaded from the State Dept. website) for the parent to fill out to be sent to the State Dept. At that time, I also would have my counselor (I was the principal) "counsel" the parent about the needs of the student and the reponsibilities of the parent as far as reporting scores, taking state mandated tests (as per the No Child Left Behind act). and so on. After researching the requirements on the N.Y. State Dept. website, there MAY be a list of internet providers that you can contact ... or, at least there will be a phone number at the state dept. that you can call and talk to a live person to answer your questions. Browse through the list of the separate departments within the New York Dept. of Ed. and see which dept. is best suited to your needs. You can also try calling the principal of superintendent of your local school district for many answers to your questions. If that doesn't work for you, you can always try googling "virtual high school, new york" and see the different sites that are available for you to check out and see what fits your particular situation. Hope this helps.

You need to know your algebra really well. To take precalc. You will definitely need algebra 2. After you take geometry, if you haven't taken algebra 2, then you will find precalc. somewhat challenging.

After finishing Geometry, you'll need Algebra, Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. You've probably already taken Algebra, since you're in geometry. Some schools offer a combined class of Algebra 2/Trig, which suffices. If you have a flair for math, you may be able to take just Algebra 2. I took Algebra 2/trig, and have found precalc to be simply a regurgitation of that class. Good luck!

What is the law on passing a school bus in new york state?

What is the law on passing a school bus in new york state?
I was driving home when i saw a school bus ahead but not too far away.As i got closer the driver put on the yellow flashing lights but he kept on coming closer.I started to slow down but i couldn't stop in time before i got to about 15-20 feet from the bus so i didn't want to stop right next to the bus which i knew was illegal so i sped up a tiny bit to pass the bus before he came to a full stop and the sign came out. I'm pretty sure that he didn't turn on his red lights before I got next to him but as i was passing, the driver blew his horn at me for a whole second and now Im afraid that he is going to report my plate and I'll get a fine or worse, points on my liscense and insurance rate increases.I know for a fact the bus wasn't completely stopped and the stop sign wasn't out but im not sure whether the lights turned red or not cus i was kinda panicking that I was getting too close to the bus. Are bus drivers in New York allowed to report my plate?How long before i recieve a ticket? there were no kids crossing because the bus wasn't even stopped yet and the bus was goin pretty fast for having his yellow lights on oh ya and im 17 and i regret doing what i did and ill never do it again but its done so right now i just really wanna know how long before i can rest assured that nobody is comin to my door or that nothin is comin in the mail THX ALOT FOR ANSWERS

It is illegal when the lights are flashing, and you are liable to a hefty fine if you do.

I know you stop when the reds are flashing and the stop sign is out. don't be fooled by the wholesome bus driver image- i see plenty of school bus drivers driving carelessly everyday- its a shame-


3
Hi There , I don't know about new york , BUT in Canada , they will fine you big time if you do not stop and wait all day for a school bus.


4
i doubt he even saw your plate....but next time don't speed up. at least make an effort to stop/slow down...when you speed up and blow past the bus is what pisses the drivers off and could cause a kid to get hit. if you had stopped and been too close to the bus, the driver would have likely waved you to go before he let the kids out.


5
Once the yellow lights came on, you had no right to pass the bus.


6
I hope so! You could have stopped but didn't...do you realize the danger you put yourself and other people in when you made the decision to pass that bus?


7
Yes the bus driver can report the plate. And you cant pass a bus when its lights are on becuase that means that they are giving you a sign to slow down because he is picking up a kid,, he was prob blowing the horn becuase you passed him and maybe a kid was crossing the road.. But i wouldnt worry about it i think the cops would be looking for you already.


8
What you should have done is completed your stop as soon as you could. It is not illegal to ''stop right next to the bus''. Chances are the bus driver won't report you and merely intended for you to rethink your actions, as you have done. You are conscientious and that will make you an ''above average'' driver someday. Relax and file this one under ''lesson learned''.

It's probably not recommended, but if it was illegal, your card wouldn't be applicable in their system. If they don't have student cards deactivated during non-school day's, it's their loss.

NYU is a good school, very well ranked and well known as well. It's very big, and it doesn't really have a campus. It is also notoriously stingy with financial aid. Other schools in NYC that are good for journalism include: Columbia Barnard College (this is an all-girls' college, but you can take classes at Columbia, and graduate with a Columbia degree, and it is much easier to get into than Columbia) Fordham Hofstra (this is just outside of NYC, but pretty good in journalism) Marymount Manhattan College (communications/journalism is very popular there) Also, if you're willing to go upstate, then Syracuse is very well known for journalism, and is still only a couple of hours away from New York City.

Yeah they do have bad food. Get your parents to petition to get better food, contact the PTO, and get the kids to all sign a petition, but be specific as to what you want, don't just say something like "get better food." The chicken patties always have bone chips in them. It's gross, and the hamburgers are rubber. The salad boxes are gone before anything else and even THEY don't taste good. Why can't you pack lunch? That's the best, even if you had to PB&J it with an apple or something, from your own house. Better than taking a chance on biting into something uncooked or alive. That is gross and not funny. Unfortunately, I agree though, I've seen it. Do all of what I said above and you can get things changed there. (be ware though: no matter how good the food is, you also have to worry about the people they hire to cook and serve it. Enough said.)

Although a 3rd year slot would be the best match, I would not object to a 2nd year slot. Some schools have transfer applications on the web, however I have found no such forms on the NYU SOM website. Other schools require a letter of intent before they provide application materials. I have found no information on their transfer policies nor how to best initiate contact.

luckkyy ive alllways wanted to live in new york! but anyways uhmm depends on where your moving. if your moving in like mahattan they dress veryyy expensive and stuff hahah not like abercrombie or anything but like high class. but if your moving in like the city they dont dress very nice i dont think.. haha sorry never really been to the cityy


2
all of them wear abercrombie and fitch, hollister, and american eagle. In manhattan, thats where i go to school, they shop at sak's fifth avenue, anthropologie, barneys, and especially bloomingdales. they like to call it bloomies and they love it. But all the clothes in these stores are more than a $100 for a shirt. Otherwise just buy abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle which are all cheap brands. everyone wheres it. These three cheaper brands are best suited for public schools, but work anywhere. The other, more expensive stores should only be for those in manhattan and those who go to private schools there since they are filled with rich kids. the average private school in manhattan is $30,000 a year and up so its hard to blend in with their expensive clothes. I go to one on a scholarship though so I'm able to buy expensive clothes. Don't worry about what you wear, you are in middle school. Start caring in high school. Some people in middle school are still shopping at limited too. Plus you grow out of your clothes fast. Save your money for the more designer ones everyone will have in high school. Im 17 and lived here my whole life by the way.

Well, I live in New York and I'm in middle school. Everyone sort of have their own style, so I think you will be just fine.

hey there, I'm quiet not sure, but If I had to guess, probably more urban wear...hip-hop, that sort of thing....

If geometry is part of trigonometry than i guest i took geometry, but I'm not sure. lol. The requirements, i think, is to pass Math A (algebra), than Math B (Trig) and then you could take pre calc senior or junior year.

The days of the apprentice is back. WAY back in the day people learned to work on cars working under an experienced tech. For a long time the practice was mostly non existent. Now the industry has gotten back in to the apprentice practice because it really is the best way to learn how to work with cars. I was kicked out of 2 schools and now I am the top dog schooling the guys who went to a fancy school...


4
First off, I wish I could change your mind on going to school to learn this trade. As a 17 yr. auto body tech I can say that this profession has gone way downhill. I don't know another auto body tech that isn't looking for another profession. I still make the same annual salary that I made 13 yrs ago because insurance companies regulate our pay. And unfortunately it doesn't look like it will ever change. If you really want to learn how to do this, I wouldn't waste you money on an auto body school. Most employers will hire on experience anyway, which you won't have. My advice is to just apply at a local shop and see if they need any kind of entry level help. Detailer, gopher, cleanup etc.. and before you know it they will be asking to help tape cars prime stuff etc... and before you know it you'll be a full fledged auto body tech, broke from the amount of tools you will have to buy to do this job, and still making no money! auto body rate 1990-$34 pr. hr. 2008-$49pr. hr. Mechanics rate 1990-$35 2008-$75-$200 Hope this enlightens you on your career choice.

Well, there are a lot of factors here so no one can give a true estimate since you didn't give any details to your situation. However, let's say you are accepted into a school of design such as FIT or Parsons. For the 2009-2010 school year it is averaging between $17,000 to $18,000 per term. That's just tuition. If you select a dormitory for your residence add on another $12,000 to $15,000 per year. Here's the link for Parsons: http://www.newschool.edu/tuition/09/ So you are easily looking at $120,000 bare minimum.

Because the United Nations has realized that the U.S. only signed a contract to pay dues and never actually intended to pay. If we would honor the things we sign as a country (and let me tell you, I'll be screwed if I don't make my house payment) the UN's budget would be a bit bigger and more reliable. If the U.S. didn't want to join, we didn't have to. But in joining the UN, we entered into a contract that, for any ordinary person, would be unavoidable....SO PAY UP!

The U of M is good, but being a non resident you'll be paying about $30-35k tuition for a public school (although I suppose once you're a lawyer, you'll make enough money that won't really matter). For around the same price, however, you can attend one of the private law schools in the Twin Cities, such as St. Thomas or Hamline.

In NYS, you need to get a BS in education. You will need to get your masters in education as well. You need to pass a series of exams. 6 years total generally. Here is the NYS website on certification http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/certificate/certprocess.htm New york certification is one of the hardest to get. Once you get certified in NY, you can teach anywhere. Teachers get recruited from NY all of the time. I live in upstate new york. The SUNY system is wonderful. Great education, lower tuition. Buffalo state, fredonia and Geneseo are great choices http://www.suny.edu/Student/campuses_complete_list.cfm You may want to consider a combo of special ed and el ed.

If you teach in elementary school you will need a number of elementary education classes. For secondary schools you will also need various education classes.

Hi I'm from the UK and at the moment i'm applying for drama school i'm guessing if your in 8th grade your around 13-14ish if i'm right?. Ok what I would suggest is that before you get swept up in the glamourous side of the Acting world you need to think long and hard. This industry is hard, brutual and extremely tiring so you need to know that you have the dedication and passion for it. You're in credibly young still so if your planning on being the best and REALLY want it then try and use these as a kind of helper 1.) Practice, Study, Practice...Seriously keep studying and practicing your craft. I'm not saying do it until you feel like your head might explode but if your planning to be the best it's essential. 2.) Read as many plays as possible, if you are cash strapped like moi then charity shops are like the Holy Grail and you can pick up some obscure plays and odnate to a good cause 3.) Go and see as many plays as possible in the uk we have a scheme called A Night Less Ordinary which gives free tickets to 16-26 years olds so call up your local theatres and see what their saying. Even if it's a school production your still keeping your mind active. 4.) Read and research as many playwrights as possible whether it be Shakespeare, Tom Stoppard, David Mamet, Shelagh Stephenson...Wikipedia is a godsend aswell. 5.) Find out the names of your local theatres and see if they have a youth group. Now in NYC i know they have the AADA but that is pretty much for 18+ I know they have Summer Programmes but these are expensive but if you can put pen to paper and write to as many charities as possible if you got a place cool. Also try and get "life experience" very rarely will you meet a young actress who can draw out tremendous emotions without getting some life experience. It's not to sound mean but alot of drama schools in the UK reject young applicants because they don't have enough experience so tahts why i'm just giving some hnts so when you hit 18 you have all these things under your belt. I hope this helps and good luck, stay positive and determined! =)

definitely base your/your childs educational career on a uniform, clearly youre mature enough to make such a decision

I wore a uniform just like that from pre-k to 12th grade, and am perfectly "normal" and not into the snobbish life, so don't listen to everybody that immediately jumps to the conclusion that just because you wore a "preppy" uniform, you are a snob today. Talk about being judgmental. And I could recommend you to the Convent of the Sacred Heart on 1 East 91st street, but I'm not sure if I could recommend you it in terms of educational value. I went to a sister school, and had to wear your quintessential school girl outfit.

What is a good fashion school in New York?

What is a good fashion school in New York?
I want desperately to go to school for fashion design, and I'd love to go to school in New York (I know, I know, how unique). Only problem is, all of the major schools like FIT and Parsons seem to get pretty iffy reviews. And I don't want to spend 40,000 bucks a year on an questionable education. So, what are some good schools to go to for fashion design in your experience? It doesn't just have to be in New York, I'm open to pretty much any place on the East Coast.

I remember when I used to live there in Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Harlem, the rent was ridiculous, but now its just insane! Anyone know about apartments and art schools, please help out, I'd really appreciate it. An art school for photography, film, fashion, and writing, and an apartment. HELP ME! Thanks.

At one time FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) offered photography classes. Look online for their course catalogue. Columbia and NYU have very good film programs. Do NOT go to the NY Film Academy, they're awful and you won't learn anything.


2
The School of Visual arts is a great school and its in a really cool neighboorhood. I would try Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, the rents are still really decent there. good luck.


3
The best school for all three artistic endeavors is Parsons school of design(this is the same school that hosts Project Runway). Being one of the best if not the best means that it is not cheap and it is not exactly easy to get into. However, if you think rent is insane in New York, wait till you find out about the tuition fees at Parsons.

St. John's University Law School in Queens, NY, is the best in NYS and has the highest rate for passing the Bar Exam.

I'm pretty sure all schools will look at your SAT scores because they take a look at all of your transcripts. Your best bet is to find schools that accept people based on portfolios and talent over scores. I know that the School of Visual Arts looks primarily at your portfolio to see whether they will accept students or not.

It is a felony to sell weed. It is also a felony to possess drugs on a school campus It is also a felony to sell weed on a school campus. Sure you might just get expelled(if that), but it could be a lot worse. Keep it away from school. Weed is decriminalized in NY, so anywhere besides school is a much better bet.

Well, look at the source listed. I'll have to say: Out of those schools listed, I only recognized 1: The Emma Willard School. That's a really, really good school, but it's girls-only which some people don't like. Anyways, historically, the oldest(and most well-known) boarding schools have been in the north-east, & HADES (Hotchkiss, Andover, Deerfield, Exeter and St. Paul's) which are the 5 elite boarding schools (not that I'm saying there aren't others out there: There ARE!) are all in the North-east, I believe, & besides, you're boarding so that shouldn't be an issue.. The only problem is getting in. Bahaha. Anyways, good luck! By the way, Emma Willard really is a great school. Do some research on it, you can't really go wrong! If you're looking for affordable, boarding schools are in no way affordable unless you get financial aid. Also, boarding schools are not a retreat for students who "hate their families". There are a serious place to learn and play at the same time, so if you're looking to hide from your problems, BS is not the place to go! Also, to the poster who answered before me, Nightingdale Bamford is not a boarding school, it's an elite private day. Yeah.. anyways, if your parents are being abusive call child services instead of going to BS. It's not a haven for children that get sent away by their families, it's for motivated kids who are eager to learn.. Good luck!

There are 16 boarding schools in New York state and many more in the Tri-State Region (NY, NJ, and Connecticut). For a complete list and information on everything about each school go to Boarding School Review: http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/state/statename/NewXYZYork/stateid/NY When looking for boarding schools start out with a general search and then move to the specific. You will find that many schools are either all-boys or all-girls, like Emma Willard. Some will be seminarian schools, military academies, some will concentrate on religion and others will be secular. It's better to start out with a general search than to read about a school and love it, and then find out that it's impossible for you to attend the school because its all-boys/all-girls. Affordability is always an issue when considering boarding schools. Most boarding schools in the U.S. are between $30,000 and $35,000 per year, while some will go upwards of $40,000/year. It's not an issue if you have a history of near-perfect grades and if you have the ability to keep those grades at a near-perfect level while at boarding school. Financial aid at most U.S. boarding schools is offered if your parents' annual income is below a certain level, for example, at Exeter you get a free ride if your parents make less than $75,000/year; obviously, schools will have different policies. On the flip side, if your grades are not that great, or not great at all, you are left with very few, if any, options. Student loans are rarely offered for boarding school and boarding schools that do offer student loans are usually concentrated on profit over quality of education. At risk of sounding impertinent, I would then advise you to contact a wealthy relative or family friend, otherwise, paying for boarding school would be next to impossible. "Affordable" and "boarding school" are words that you will rarely, if ever, find in the same sentence, unfortunately. It's much better to apply for full financial aid at whichever boarding school you wish to go to and make clear to them (if your grades are not near-perfect) that you will work your very hardest while there. I went to boarding school and I look back on it as one of the best experiences of my life. Best of luck.

Who monitors New York School Bus Transportation and laws for Public School Transportation?

My son had detention today, he took the 4 pm bus home. At first he called to say that I had to pick him up because the bus driver did not want to drive him home. When I called the school, the bus driver was made to take him, however, she dropped him off about a 1/2 mile away from the house. We live on a very busy main road with absolutely no shoulder. She had to pass by the house anyway. I saw her myself doing about 60 mph. Then I saw my son walking down the road, jumping out of the way when a car would wizz by. I don't think this is okay and want to research it before I go crazy on the bus company. Thanks.

I'd contact the school first since it seems they control policy on this kind of thing (see first link.) But a better approach might be to contact an organization concerned with pupil safety on the bus (see the second link.) Maybe you can get them involved to help you out. That said, you should talk to the bus driver first. Maybe she had a good reason for dropping your child where she did. It may not be out and out negligence. She can only do so much. School bus driver is truly the world's most unappreciated job. Most are only trying to do the right thing.
