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?

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.

Umm, truthfully you only really need to be familiar with triangles and the trigonometric functions. What you really need is Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. Pre-Calc focuses on those two.


3
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.

hey, I also went to school in NY (graduated High School 2 yrs ago). For some reason i never took Geometry. I took Algebra, trigonometry (math B), pre calc, and than AP Calculus. 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.

You are going to need all of Geometry in Trig. precal and Calculus as well. A good foundation in Geometry will help you in all following subjects.

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.


2
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''.

First, I don't know why you think 3 B's and the rest A's are bad grades...that has to work out to 3.1 - 3.6, depending on how many A's you have. That is respectable.

You can't. You cannot afford to pay rent and feed yourself in NYC. A volunteer pays all their own expenses. A nonprofit is forbidden by the IRS rules from using donations for anything other then their mission statement.

You are still saying you want to volunteer, volunteer is NOT a paid vacation in some exciting, fun city. Of course, it could happen, volunteers are needed everywhere. Stop wasting your time, and ours in this forum, and start searching websites, and actually APPLY. If you want to go to some exciting city like in your other post, Seattle, get a job, save your money, and party. You have to pay your own way. If you really want to volunteer, you can do it in your home town, volunteers are needed where you live. 1. Join Peace Corps 2. crossculturalsolutions.org
