Isn't there a nice (fairly balanced) article (I think it was linked to by someone) listing the benefits of each type of feeding (eg breast/bottle)

I don't need opinions etc as DD is nearly 8

Just info that I can copy for my NVQ - so I have to do less work
Pretty Please?

as long as you read it, and then re-write bits in your own words that is 100% fine....that is research You can even quote directly the odd sentence, in quotation marks and refernced is also fine

Last time one of my students printed off an essay from the ineternet I guessed within a few sentences that it wasn't his. I then put in a sentence in Google and 30 seconds later I had the whole essay. So I printed it off, marked it , and gave it back to the boy And then I told him if he traied that at university he could get thrown off the course.

Nighty night, I'm studying Religion, Phlosophy and I have Psychology as an 'elective' (though it's just as much study as if it were a minor subject!). Scary, huh?

sounds interesting! so you weren't tempted to go for a science subject (following from your comments on the other thread)?

Psychology where I am studying is science, or rather statistics!

No, I originally went into nursing but hated it, then sort of dropped out and worked as a care assistant ? receptionist, secretary for Macmillan Cancer Relief, boss got sacked so had to take over, when they hired a replacement after six months (I didnt fit the job criteria though ahd been doing it!) I though sod that, went and got a job for Home Start. Realised whilst there how much of a problem there was with Racism back home, spent a year doing an access and working out how best to tackle the problems and decided to teach RE, on the theory that fear is caused by a lack of understanding (yeah I know amongst other things but i'm only human).

Do loads of the electrical stuff though, it makes me laugh TBH- new legislation prevents DH and I from installing a new plug socket for my mother, BUT I can quite legally wire in a 1.5 MW generator on a carnival float that will be in the rain holding kids amongst 150K people, design all the lighting (well DH), and no-one checks if it's safe or not! DH has taught me most of what I know, but I was always the sort of girl to be helping to turbo a mini, or whatever. I did actually consider an engineering degree last year with the OU, but the miserable gits at my old club didn't like girls doing it, and when one of their sons set fire to a table during a welding lesson, it was automatically my fault. Grrr. This club fortunately, we just get on with it!

Oxford university has a Physics with Psychology degree course, I believe its unique in the UK.

Ive done some software/telecomms courses with the open university, they were very good. The nearest to hands on was hands on a keyboard though.
