Would FAFSA work in Washington?
This might be a really dumb question, but I was just wondering about it because I really want to transfer jobs from southern CA, and live up there to complete my schooling but it would cost me $2600 a QUARTER as opposed to $400 a SEMESTER here. I pay nothing right now, FAFSA covers it all except books. I'm just wondering is FAFSA a California thing or is it a financial aid program for the whole country? Would I still get awarded the same amount of money? Or would the circumstances be different and therefore they would award me more? Thanks!

Clarification: Although one completes and submits the FAFSA form for a college/university to determine if a potential student is eligible for financial aid and the sort of financial aid package the school may offer -- the total amount, a break down into scholarships/grants and loans -- FAFSA pays nothing. FAFSA is just the application form. The financial aid is through the school you attend. To restate your question - What sort of financial aid will the school to which you wish to transfer provide? I suggest you telephone the Financial Aid Office at the college/univ. to which you wish to transfer and talk with a financial aid counselor. He/she can best answer your questions relative to that particular school. You can find info to help you figure out what your costs will be at the college to which you want to transfer by using the well-respected College Board College Quick Finder and viewing the Cost & Financial Aid info for that school. Here is the link: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/index.jsp On the FAFSA web pages you can also get info to help estimate the amount of financial aid to which one might be eligible: FAFSA 4caster: http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov/ If the college/univ. to which you wish to transfer is a private/independent one (clarificiation not a for-profit/career college) - a college/univ. that is not a community college or a state supported univ., the school may have more financial aid funds specifically for its own students–scholarships/grants that do not need to be paid back - than the school you currently attend. Private/independent colleges tend to have more of this kind of $$$ than public/state supported colleges/universities. Best wishes

For homeschooling its your parents. First off, you need to know the laws. This is a very short summary in my own words. One of your parents needs to either have 45 college credits OR take a homeschool qualifying course, OR work under the supervision of a certified teacher. There is a long list of subjects you must cover Occupational education, science, math, language, social studies, history, health, reading, writing, spelling, music and art appreciation. They don't specify how long, how often, or by what method these courses should be covered in. However, technically to graduate as a homeschooler in Washington State you do need to meet the minimum graduation requirements for all students, that is 3 credits English, 3 Credits Math, 2 credits Science (one of which must be a lab science), 2.5 credits of Social studies (including 1 of US history and 1/2 of Washington State History), 1/2 credit Health, 2 Credits PE, Occupational Education 1 Credit. The rest are electives your total should add up to at least 19 credits. (These are the minimum requirements, not what you will need for college, that is considerably more). Your parents must file a Declaration of Intent to homeschool with the local superintendent every year, and must maintain records of your standardized test scores, your academic records (think report card), and your immunization records. Every year you need to take a standardized test, or have an evaluation performed by a certified teacher, but it doesn't have to be the Public School disaster known as the WASL. There is a long list of acceptable tests. I don't have it handy right now. Some acceptable tests can be obtained through: http://www.familylearning.org More info on the laws in our state, and local support groups, can be obtained from: http://www.washhomeschool.org There is also an option in Washington to do Public School at home. This is not, from a legal standpoint, homeschooling, but some people like it. You can find out more about that at: http://www.wava.org

You just have to get your parents' permission. You will probably have to sign up and talk with a school that you are going to take your standardized testing at. It's good to know the people you will work with. Good Luck ;)

Are there rules resticting the hours that builders can work in Washington State
Are there rules resticting the hours that builders can work in Washington State?
We live in a new house, the house across the street is being built. The builders sometimes have 4am deliveries on huge semi trucks which is very noisy, wakes our whole house. The builders usually start actually working before 7am. Today ( a saturday) I was looking forward to a quiet day, but the builders are out there again well before 8 am being very loud. What are the restrictions? Are there any? Thanks! Quizzard, I appreciate your response. I accept some noise, heck Ive been listening to it all week long......i was just hoping for a quiet weekend...the builder actually told us when we moved in that they would not work on weekends. Maybe we could send a huge semi truck to your neighborhood in the middle of the night!

Call up your local police, noise ordinances are generally local laws, not state. 6 am to 10 pm here in my city. 4 am deliveries seems insane, I would complain.
2 :
Those are city or county rules, not state wide. Typically, 7 am to 10 pm is common. I know of no locale that allows work at 4 am. Saturday is usually allowed, Sunday not always. You have to consider this: you live in a new house. How do you think the neighbors enjoyed YOUR home being built? It's a pain, but construction is a necessary part of life with neighbors.

You really can't prevent the early start times, it is a conflict of interest because the builders are on a schedule. I am a truck driver and many locations that I deliver to have notes about noise. Some locations specify that we are not to arrive at the customer earlier than 1 hour before delivery. You may be able to talk to the site manager about this, he or she may be able to tell the customers that they buy from to instruct the drivers to stay away until the appointment times. It shouldn't'[t be to much hassle for the site manager to do this, but be prepared if he acts like he can't do it because he can. Just tell him you have a friend that is a truck driver and he told you they do this sort of thing all the time and it's not a big deal.
