Of the first 10 answers, you have three right -- 30%. That's about the score I'd expect with random answers.

Kayla -- it's beyond me how you expect to learn and answer specific questions without a book. Jiskha is a homework HELP forum, but we cannot teach you a whole course.

After you get the book and study it carefully, we'll be glad to check your answers again.

read your book on line is the same thing i'm studying the same questions and i could give them to you but if you want to be a real teacher aid you need to study it doen't make any sense if you have all the answers from somebody else don't you think????

Well first of all .. i see alot of people on here telling one another that they need to do this and do that! I'm am also a student with a online school and i am also taking the teachers aid as an elective course...THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I WANT TO BE A TEACHERS AID! this also means that everyone on here that is asking for help may or may not want to be a teachers aid either! I am only searching for answers because this is my last course and i am trying to finish because i start college in the summer... I have to have this course finished before i start.. I am going to college to work in Computer networking not for a teachers aid ! Thanks so much for understanding an outsiders point of view !
