How many credit hours constitute half time enrollment at Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC)?
I know different schools have different ways of figuring it but I was hoping someone that attended the college would be able to help me answer this question. Thanks

Actually they go off student aid. Because thats who pays them generally.. so anything under 12 credit hours is considered half or part time. With federal student aid, you are required to complete 75% of the credit hours. With love through Christ Jesus, Dusty

How can I home school my kids?
How can I home school my kids?
I am a Christian and a single mom. I am divorced - it was Biblical, but not going into that because it's not about the question. Anyway, I am a kindergarten teacher and so you probably know what my salary is. How can I stay home and home school my kids and make a living? School is getting so bad. I wrote a question last night about my 3rd grade daughter being sexually harassed. I know it's just going to get worse. There is a home school coop here. It's a great program. I thought about waiting to look at this option when they are in high school (grades 3 and 4, now). I have a friend whose daughter was being bullied so much, she took her out of school. Now, she has all her classes online through Oklahoma City schools (even though we don't live there). They supplied the computer, books, and instructors for free. Now, how can I make a living? Any ideas? ** I don't want to hear any negative things about home schooling like lack of socialization. The question is about MY work problem. We don't have a christian school here. If someone ever opens one up, I will be the first in line applying for a job.

2 :
I don't think everyone should homeschool - especially given your circumstances. Since you are a single mom you will need to provide for your kids materially if your ex is not providing enough. You may want to ask for financial aid to enroll your kids in a private Christian school.
3 :
Get a job. Work nights if you have to.
4 :
You could home school them and maybe work for the co-op or tutor other students.
5 :
You might be able to get government assistance. Depends where you live Move to New Zealand! Anyway, look into that
6 :
See if you can get hired by the co-op to teach some classes. Hire yourself out as a tutor. And, unfortunately you might have to accept the fact that you might not be able to do it, financially. Have you considered other options as well, such as going to work in a private school and enrolling your own children there(many have tuition breaks for their teachers' kids). Maybe that would be a good compromise.
7 :
If you are single and working, perhaps seek out other families to see if you can find one or two that will take your children while you work. I live in Jackson Mississippi and there is a large network of homeschooling parents who help each other.
8 :
Being a mom is a full time job. Then you put home schooling on top of that and you have 2 full time jobs. To try and make a living to support your family on top of all of that and ensure that your kids will get a proper education is a lot to handle. You say you're a Christian, so I'm sure you have faith in God's ability to handle your childrens education in a public school. I am a Christian as well, and don't love the idea of keeping my kids in public school, but that the choice we've made. It's in God's hands everyday. Your kids are going to be faced with the secular world throughout their entire lives. If I were you, I'd focus on teaching them how to stand strong in the name of Jesus in the world we live in, and keep them in school. Besides, how can your kids minister to other children in school if you separate them from their peers?
9 :
work nights if you have to. but you should give this a lot more thought because you still have children to support.
10 :
Since you are a teacher with credentials and training, why not try to get a job at a Christian school where you can also put your children. Surely they will give you a discount on the tuition and you will still have a salary.
11 :
Try the homeschooling section, it's under education. There are parents who have to work, and do the homeschooling during their off-time. I'm thinking your kids are 7-9? Which would make it difficult as to where they are going to be while you're at work more than anything... I would suggest looking into a co-op or Christian charter school for the time being. Contact your local schools, homeschooling groups, and find out what laws there are and maybe you'll find out some more options. Do supplemental teaching, sunday-school classes (and whatever you can get them into), in the meantime. Once they're about 12 you can leave them home alone while you're at work, and then come home and do any teaching that needs to be done.

Suzi, I feel your frustration! I never did homeschool my own children but I have lots and lots of friends who have. Some business ideas you could do in your own home... Rent out a downstairs to a college kid or two Medical transcription (about a 2 year on-line course) Catering (you'd have to have a partner to deliver) Language Translation (if you know any language very well) English-As-A-Second Language coach to adults or children Reading Tutor... have children come to your home like a piano teacher would Piano teacher (or teach any musical instrument) or something newer in the area of working-at-home... Get all the digital and printed pictures of clients; use Photoshop Elements to enhance lighting / crop / take out excess annoying background people & items; Then organize all their digital photos into folders for easier access.... organize by people, date, or place. You could even organize an "oops" folder for those crazy shots. Then, you'd put them on a DVD and give them back to the owners. You could probably charge like .10 per photo to enhance and organize their photos. This is such a new service! I'm sure if most people are like me, they would have thousands of photos to enhance and organize. Good luck! Your kids are blessed to have you for a mom!
13 :
I do hope and pray for the best for you and your family!!! Is it possible to get an online job for yourself? I don't know what you might be qualified for. Another suggestion is that you home-school several other children as well as your daughter and charge the parents for this. There are also home schools in churches where there are teachers and assistants and this might work better---you'd have to think also about where the kids are going to go when school is over and the parents are taking a long time to get home from work, but the one at a church (or someone's basement or large house, etc) might have a good solution.

I have a friend who was a single mom of four and homeschooled. She worked lots of nights and was tired alot. But her kids grew up fine and got the homeschooled education they needed. It was hard on her, but they got through it. Anything worth having is worth the hard work. As they get older, it gets easier, because they can independently study more. I use A.C.E curriculum. I have three I am homeschooling, and work part time. I'm blessed to have a husband who works hard.

I used to live there. It is pretty great. I only went to 1st and 2nd grade there, but school was okay. The climate was great. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, how I think it should be. It snows a couple of inches in the winter. You should be fine.

You will find the climate and geography radically different from what you've known. The land is flat and the horizon seems to go on forever--it is part of the Great Plains.

On my first trip in July it was 104%, shade was as scarce as hen's teeth downtown, and the wind was 60 m.p.h. I stepped out of an air-conditioned building and the sweat popped out on me like silver bullets, and then I stepped out of the entrance foyer. The humidity was about 11%, and that wind scoured the perspiration off me in less than three seconds. But the state has a very interesting history (I was even given a Cherokee name!), the people are very down-to-earth and friendly, and as the state capital the city is more sophisticated than you might think--right down to an NBA team. I know little about secondary schools, but the universities are much better than respectable. You'll have a chance to be yourself amid unpretentious and good people. But tornadoes ARE a fact of life there.

What is life like in Oklahoma? Specifically the Oklahoma City/Norman area?
What is life like in Oklahoma? Specifically the Oklahoma City/Norman area?
I am considering returning to college for a very specific major, and the University of Oklahoma specializes in it. (OK, it is meteorology) I have also investigated Penn State, which is closer to my area and also has a solid meteorology program. However, I want to be in an atmosphere where I can experience some actual severe weather and perhaps participate in tornado research projects. The thing is, I live in PA and have never visited Oklahoma or any of the midwestern states. I have researched the school's reputation and some information on living in Oklahoma - but I am interested in some real substantive, nonbiased information on daily life in OK. Where can I find cultural activities in central Oklahoma? Are there interesting attractions to visit in the area? Also, I would appreciate it if only those who currently live or have lived for a period of at least a year in OK would answer this question. Out of curiosity, how often did your area of Oklahoma experience tornado warnings and/or actual tornadoes? Aside from the tornadoes and severe weather during the spring and fall, what was your opinion of the area's climate? Thank you for your help with this potentially life-altering decision.

I have researched the school's reputation and some information on living in Oklahoma - but I am interested in some real substantive, nonbiased information on daily life in OK. Where can I find cultural activities in central Oklahoma? Are there interesting attractions to visit in the area? Also, I would appreciate it if only those who currently live or have lived for a period of at least a year in OK would answer this question. Out of curiosity, how often did your area of Oklahoma experience tornado warnings and/or actual tornadoes? Aside from the tornadoes and severe weather during the spring and fall, what was your opinion of the area's climate? Thank you for your help with this potentially life-altering decision.

The best info I can give you is to go to city-data.com and ask some locals. I have driven through OKC and it seems like it is boring. This however, is just an assumption.

These are the urban areas in which I'm considering law school. Which of these do you prefer, not prefer, and why? If you choose to get even more specific: -You can rank the cities -You can give a little inside info about the cities Given the strength of the particular law schools, the regional markets for lawyers, proximity to other great metro areas, and general friendliness of the people, this is my list so far: 1. Top choice - San Antonio 2. Fort Worth 3. Atlanta 4. (tie) Oklahoma City, Tulsa 6. Bottom choice - Jackson I appreciate any and all input!

!. OKC 2. Tulsa 3. Atlanta 4. Fort Worth 5. San Antonio 6. Jackson I chose OKC because I have been there and the people are wonderful. The housing market is great, schools are a number 1 point of interest to them, taxes are low, there are many things to do, crime is relatively low, and, after the bombing, they all really pulled together just like a community should. I know the hospitals are great because of the sports medicine hospital McBride's, and their heart hospital. I'm thinking of relocating there myself. The rest of your choices are ok, but I wouldn't like the heat in the summer time. Good Luck. :)

San Antonio! I've been there before and I've loved it! They have the best food, best hangouts....just totally great all around! Atlanta's not so bad, either.

It depends on what kind of bike you have. If it is closer to a motorcycle, you have to get a motorcycle license. If it is closer to a bicycle, you don't have to get one. Technically, the rule is anything with a motor, including a mo-ped, must be licensed. Therefore, it is important to know exactly how your specific model is classified. This information is usually available through the seller. And sorry, you have to go to an actual place in person to get your license for this. (Again, this depends on what it is you are driving for certain.)

How is it to live in Oklahoma City?
How is it to live in Oklahoma City?
Me and my husband are thinking of moving to Oklahoma City. Right now we live in Wisconsin. We have 3 children and are unsure if we will really like it. We were there for 2 weeks before, and we liked it, but my daughter will be starting school soon, and I want to be sure that it is a good place to raise kids. I live in a small town, so living in a city may be kinda difficult right away. Can someone please tell me how it is to live and how safe it is for my children. Also, what can I get paid for being a CNA there? Thanks a lot!!

Moving to Oklahoma city, need some advice and suggestions...?
I live in NJ and planning to move to OK city for a job in University of Oklahoma Health Science Center that is located at 975 N.E. 10th street. I have no idea about the OK city, the only few things I heard that people are friendly, cost of living is cheaper and the real estate is also affordable. I have kids going to school (Elementary), thus I need to find a good school district too. Also, when I talk about moving to OK, people here scaring me that the schools are not really as good as in NJ or any other NE states. Again, I have no idea....unless someone out there who lived in NE states and moved to OK would tell me what exactly the schools are in OK and good school districts around OK city.

Oklahoma City University MFA Dance?
Oklahoma City University MFA Dance?
I wanted to see if there are any current (or former) MFA students in Oklahoma City University's Ann Lacy School that would be willing to give any information on the program. I've read extensively through the website, and I have researched and heard EXCELLENT things. My question is more along the lines of: - How many MFA students are admitted each year? - Any detailed audition advice beyond what the website states? - Any other experiences - good or bad - that you've had with the program? Thanks!

I teach massage in Texas, where you do have to have your license. Call or Google the OK State Department of Health to find out what their requirements are. Some counties and cities even have their own rules. Beware of local massage therapists who will turn you in to the state for operating without a license. Texas is a very competitive market, and my students have told me stories about "clients" who turned out to be students from local massage schools. When my students mentioned they didn't have their license yet because they were waiting to take the state exam, they were turned in to the state. People can be mean.
2 :
They didn't teach you that in school!? Well according to my review book it says OK has NO regulations for Massage Therapist. So i guess that means you don't have to be licensed. If you plan on moving i'd suggest taking the National Exam so that you'll be nationally certified. I live in FL and you have to be licensed here so im due to take the exam next month. Email me if you have anymore questions.

http://www.massageregister.com/staterequirements.asp#Ohio This is a good resource website to get a profile of state licensing requirements for massage therapy. (I know the link says Ohio, but Oklahoma is on the same page). As the blurb says, even though state credentialing is not required, you may need to satisfy county or municipal regulations in order to practice in different areas of the state. You probably want to check out this site to see if you can contact someone with the county health department. http://www.cchdoc.com/

If the computers are Internet connected, you will rarely find guest accounts since the school is responsible for linking activity to an actual user. In other words, it would be irresponsible and a potential liability for a school to allow guest accounts.
