Problem: The system needs to change , in my opinion . The most frustrating part for me when teaching at a high school is seeing how many kids have figured out the system . From kindergarten through 8th grade these kids have realized no one is going to hold them back a grade if they do n't perform . The reasons for this are many , but ultimately I look at my students ' report cards from over the years and see strings of ' F ' grades , low reading levels , too many years in ELL programs , and absence issues already .

What is a way that the speaker may suggest addressing these problems with the system ?
OPTIONS:
- More reliance on ELL classes , as they have proven to be effective
- Less criticism of lower reading levels , as reading is only so important
- None of the above choices .
- Early intervention for attendance issues , and assigning tutors for reading difficulties

A: Early intervention for attendance issues , and assigning tutors for reading difficulties

Problem: I ran across this as a pre - order item listing on Hobby Link Japan several weeks before Otakon 2008 and was instantaneously smitten . Although I am rather new to models and figurines , I HAD to have this one ; there 's just something among the tail end of a barrage of merchandise . But to my great dismay they sold out loooong before they were ever available for normal ( non - preorder ) purchase .

Problem: For the past three years my office has consisted of coffee shops , my truck , a 5th wheel , a beat up old desk from Amy 's grandparents , and a end table in the corner of our living room between our couches . With that in mind - both of my laptops have been pushed onto the floor , keys ripped out of the boards , juice & milk and other liquids poured out , and toddlers going to town on anything else they see ! I ' m not sure why it took so long - but we bought the bullet and I went to walmart and got a desk and shelves that you can lock up with cabinet doors . Amy 's dad is a builder and passed down the gift of craftsmanship .

What did they finally do ?
OPTIONS:
- They built a home office
- They bought a new home
- They hired a housekeeper to help clean
- None of the above choices .

A:
They built a home office
