If I'm 14 years old, which grade should I be?
Well in my state in Missouri to go kindergarten you need to be age 5 before August 1st.And school start at Mid August. And ends in Late in late May.So that means if your born on August 1st or after you Will have to wait until the following year to start kindergarten.So if your born in early August you will start kindergarten at age 6 instead of 5.So that means there two ages per each grade so the rule is +5 And +6.Okay now let start.Elementary schoolKindergarten age 5 and age 6.1st grade +5 And +6 = age 6 and age 7.2nd grade +5 And +6 = age 7 and age 8.3rd grade +5 And +6 = age 8 and age 9.4th grade +5 And +6 = age 9 and age 10.5th grade +5 And +6 = age 10 and age 11.6th grade +5 And +6 = age 11 and age 12.Middle school7th grade +5 And +6 = age 12 and age 13.8th grade +5 And +6 = age 13 and age 14.High schoolFreshman/9th grade +5 And +6 = age 14 and age 15.Sophomore/10th grade +5 And +6 = age 15 and age 16.Junior/11th grade +5 And +6 = age 16 and age 17.Senior/12th grade +5 And +6 = age 17 and age 18.CollegeFreshman age 18 and 19Sophomore age 19 and age 20Junior age 20 and age 21Senior age 21 and age 22So there are 2 ages per each grade.So if you hear a grade ( 8th grade) just add +5 And +6 And that the age of the students. So 8th grader are 13 and 14.Also if there birthday is early August they will remain at the older end of that age range e.g 8th grade age 14. While if there birthday is Late May-July they will remain the younger end of that age range e.g 8th grade age 13. If there birthday is Mid August-Late May they are in the middle of the age range. So they will be both age range. E.g 8th grade age 13 and 14.Remember not every state has the Same cut off it varies by state to state.So 14 year old are 8th grade or 9th grade.
What can I do about my ex driving my 3 year old son when she's stoned?
Well, I feel you are a little bit.She shouldn’t be smoking around your son. A good parent doesn’t smoke anything around their kids. If they choose to smoke, they should do somewhere else. I have nothing against those who smoke weed but I don’t advocate exposing children (especially very young children) to it. Cannabis oil and hemp are different matters. Smoking, I’m not for except for rare exceptions (medical).However, weed doesn’t affect your driving. It’s not like alcohol or PCP. It could possibly be laced but I would suggest putting faith in his mom that she’s smoking unlaced weed. Some biased studies show that marijuana can cause a reduction of motor skills and reflexes. If she’s that high, I highly doubt she’d or anyone else around her would let her drive. But you’d have to be SUPREMELY baked for it to effect you to the point where you can’t drive. You also don’t know how high she is, either. Just because she smells like weed, doesn’t mean that she’s really high. Different weed have different smells and pungencies. Her being trapped in a car doesn’t help it, either.If you truly believe your ex loves your child and is otherwise a good mother, I would leave it alone. If you cause a lot of trouble and cause turbulence in your relationship with your ex, she can easily compromise or cut off your relationship to your son. Courts are unfair and that is a sad fact of life for now. It would be disgustingly easy for her to block you from seeing yourson on false allegations. She could also start poisoning your son against you and that’s even worse. I don’t know your ex but I know a lot of people who’ve gone through this same shit. It sucks and it’s petty over stupid things like being jealous of a new partner or new financial success. For the sake of your son, try to keep things as smooth as they can be with his mother. If you truly think he is being harmed in some way, don’t hesitate to have someone look into it or ask an unbiased relative to have a check in on him and tell you what they think.
What legal rights does a 17 year old have in the United States?
At 17, you start gaining practical rights and privileges and responsibilities as you get closer to turning 18. When you are 18, your parents can no longer have access to your medical records and make your medical decisions for you unless you permit it. At 18, you can get married without your parents’ consent. You can vote.BUT, at 17, you can get a job and earn a paycheck. You can take the appropriate tests and get a drivers license. You can be tried as an adult if you commit a crime. You can freely consent to sex in many, if not all, states. You can live as an adult if someone will rent to you and you have the independence and income to do so. You can go to college in another state away from your parents. You are mere months away from the magic age of 18 when many more adult rights become yours. There are laws, and then there is the initiative and circumstances of the 17-year-old and the latitude granted by the 17-year-old’s parents. If you are 17 and your parents get a divorce, your preferences as to who you live with are likely to be considered by the court.I considered myself an adult at 17. I left home and went to college with the money I’d saved for years. I didn’t see a huge difference in being 18 on a practical level. It was legally different, but I was already there in my life. It was mostly just a birthday. The big thing I did at 18 is I “emancipated” myself with my college. They made financial aid decisions based on me and my income rather than on my parents. My parents were no longer able to claim me as a dependent, but I no longer needed them to fill out financial aid paperwork for me and turn over their tax return information. It was an important difference for me. My parents weren’t supporting me anymore anyway.
Can a 16-year-old child choose not to have visitation with a parent in full custody situations?
No.What complicates this issue is enforcement. If a parent has visitation, and a 16-year old refuses to go, it isn’t the same thing as a 6-year old refusing to go. A 16-year old is capable of running away, physically resisting, etc. So, if the parent being deprived visitation files a motion for order to show cause, the judge is hesitant to enforce the order being violated. One of the defenses to being held in contempt is that you are not violating the order intentionally, i.e. the violation is happening because of events out of your control.
Do fathers have the same parental rights as mothers?
The idea that mothers get custody over fathers is really based on the model that 90% of split families (parents don't live together because of divorce or unmarried parents living apart) are households with mothers having primary custody of the children. But that 90% are cases where custody was undisputed. When parents break up, the father usually doesn't want to be saddled with the kids full-time. They may want to have the kids with them some of the time, but it's rare when they want primary custody.In the cases where custody is disputed by mother and father, however, fathers win full custody about 70% of the time. So it isn't true that fathers are less likely to gain custody of children. It's only true that about 90% of the time, mothers end up with the kids because custody is undisputed, or the fathers aren't even around. When custody is disputed, though, fathers get it more than two-thirds of the time.
Just turned 20 years old, but make 17 dollars hour.?
Hey everyone, live in ohio, currently going to college for mechanical engineering technology, and have a job/internship that is paying me 17 hourly. Is this decent? Also after i graduate, for my major, is this all my degree offers me? I would just do mechanical engineering, but I'm not that intelligent, graduated from an at risk highschool with a 0.9GPA and had to go through a trial to be admitted into college because they rejected me. So basically ive had a lot of catching up to do, but i dont want to come out of this college with a degree that is only going to make me 40k a year. I want to strive for more, what should i do?
How can a 16 or 17-year-old orphan live alone in the United States?
So I have personal experience in this matter. My parents died when I was 16 and I lived alone when I was 17.Basically the answer is illegally. It isn't legal for a minor to live by themselves but I was able to do it by renting a room from a immigrant family that didn't care about US laws. This was the only viable way as renting an apartment requires background checks and utility bills. I didn't want to be put in foster care, to live with people I didn't know, so this was my best option at the time. As a side benefit (if there is one) is that I wrote my own excuse notes when I missed school. At first this felt quite wrong. Then I got over it and started ditching class a lot. Still got into a good school though.Thanks for the A2A.
