I’m trying to get a better sense of which countries are truly prioritizing higher education. I’m not just interested in raw dollar amounts, because obviously the US or China would likely top those lists. I’m really looking for a couple of different metrics: Percentage of GDP: Which countries spend the highest percentage of their Gross…
Okay, so everyone talks about Harvard legacy admissions, and I’m trying to understand exactly how it all works. I know it’s controversial, but I’m less concerned with the ethics right now and more interested in the mechanics. Specifically: What constitutes a "legacy"? Is it just parents being alumni, or does it include grandparents, siblings, etc.?…
I’m a bit confused about how to calculate my GPA. I’ve seen different methods online and I’m not sure which one is correct, or which one my school uses. Specifically, I’m taking a mix of regular classes and AP classes. I know AP classes sometimes get weighted differently, but I’m not clear on the specifics….
Okay, so I’m starting a new semester and I really want to get my act together this time. I always feel like I’m taking notes, but never actually learning the material. I think my current method (basically just writing down everything the professor says) isn’t working. What are some different note-taking methods I can try?…
Okay, so I’m thinking about taking a year or two off after graduation and teaching abroad. I have a Bachelor’s degree in History, but I’m open to teaching English or potentially even history, depending on the opportunity. I’m a native English speaker, obviously. What are some of the best countries to look at? I’m not…

I understand generally why it’s good, like being able to handle changes and learn new things. But I’m trying to figure out specifically why it’s so highly valued. Is it just about being…
Okay, so we’re seriously considering homeschooling our kids, a 6-year-old and an 8-year-old. Public school is just…stressful. The older one is starting to get really anxious about tests, and the younger one seems overwhelmed by the constant noise and activity. We’re wondering if homeschooling might be a better fit, but it’s such a huge decision!…
Okay, so I’ve been taking a bunch of practice tests for the GRE (general test), and I’m just not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m consistently scoring around the same range, even after studying and trying different strategies. I’m really looking for a systematic way to analyze my practice test results. I’m currently…
Okay, so I’m finally ready to start selling my courses! I’ve been teaching informally for years, and now I want to reach a wider audience and actually get paid for my expertise. But the world of online course platforms is overwhelming! I have a few different types of courses in mind, and I’m not sure…
