I am about to begin a part-time university course to gain an PGCE in Further Education. I already teach in this sector. I know that the government provides funding for the Primary and Secondary PGCE, but I wondered if anyone knows of any funding for the Further Education sector?

Yes.

And although your course is part time you will be funded as full time.

Whats a PGCE?

What we should do to enter into oxford?

Do you mean to apply and to get in? Which country are you from?

Entrance requirements

Oxford University is happy to receive applications from students from any country in the world providing that they are studying for, or have already achieved, three A-Levels or other equivalent academic qualifications.

In order to be admitted, candidates must show evidence of an appropriate educational background and good standards of literacy and numeracy. However, the University does not have any formal matriculation requirements, and no requirement for any particular subjects or grades at GCSE, though tutors will use these grades as one indicator of academic ability.

All applications are considered carefully on their individual merits and tutors consider academic achievements, predicted grades, candidates’ personal statements and academic references as well as any written work or written test that may be required as part of the application. Candidates who feel that they under-performed at GCSE may be able to compensate for this by demonstrating clear upward progression at AS-level as well as in predicted or achieved A-level scores. You may wish to refer to this in your personal statement.

There are some specific subject requirements. Providing that you meet any specific requirements for your course, they recommend you to take those subjects that interest you most and in which you feel you have the ability to do best. Tutors are much more interested in candidates’ overall academic ability, and their potential and motivation for the course at Oxford, than the particular programmes which have been followed at school.

Competition is strong and conditional offers are likely to be for high grades. The offer may specify certain grades to be achieved in particular subjects if they have not been achieved already.

What does a "little death" mean?

I've heard this term referred to when one sleeps but I know it's also referred to something else. I know it has something to do with the choices we make but I can't remember exactly in what context…?

Little Death

Cowards die many times before their deaths;

: : The valiant never taste of death but once.

: : Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,

: : It seems to me most strange that men should fear;

: : Seeing that death, a necessary end,

: : Will come when it will come.

: : Julius Caesar II, Shakespeare

http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/7/messages/550.html

The little death is a translation from the French "la petite mort," a popular reference for a sexual orgasm. The term has generally been interpreted to describe the post-orgasmic fainting spells[1] some lovers experience. Also, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm, or a short period of melancholy or transcendence, as a result of the expenditure or spending of "life force".

Speculations about the origin of the expression include current connotations of the phrase, including to sleep

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Little death

Often it is a slang term for orgasm. I found this definition with the help of google.

An euphemism denoting orgasm as used by Korn in "Last Legal Drug" song. The Little Death is a translation of the French "Le Petit Mort", meaning "a little/small death", since some women seem to faint or they really do while experiencing an orgasm which makes them look like dead for a while.

Sexual orgasm.

Or are you talking about DUNE by Frank Herbert

Dune. The Fear Litany:

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind killer.

Fear is the little death that brings total

obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past

I will turn my inner eye to see it's path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

In this case "Fear" is the "little death".

Le Petit Morte, or "The Little Death" is what the French call the orgasm.

It is a metaphor for an orgasm.

My friends toddler called me a bastard and i told her that she should be more responsible and what would you do if that would happen?

The toddler doesn't understand the meaning of the word even if he /she sounds like they do, and shouldn't be punished or disciplined for copying adults. It's up to the parent to stop with the language or stop others from swearing in front of the child. I think you did the right thing in telling your friend she should be more responsible.

I'd smile at her and ask her if she had any idea what the word means. If she didn't I'd tell her it's a word she shouldn't be using on another person.

I might explore whatever it was I might have said or done to make her unhappy with me, since clearly she does understand that it is not a name we call someone we are happy with, but that is a secondary issue. She should not be calling anyone a bastard.

I would also discuss this with her parent. I don't think punishing her would be the best course of action, although your friend might want to pursue some sort of corrective action. It could include punishment, but that would be for a parent to decide, not the friend of a parent.

I would just ignore it the first time, but if it was repeated, I would just say that that isn't a very nice word, then distract the child with a game or story or similar. Don't make a big deal of it. Children usually pick up these words and try them for a reaction. If there is none, they are usually soon forgotten. If it's constant, then speak to your friend and say that the child seems to have picked up an unsuitable word.

tell her that i didn't think it was appropriate,

although unless i had young children who might pick the language up as well i would probably not do any more than mention it to her.

If i had children, i would be p!ssed, and i would tell her i expected her to discipline the child or at least sit it down and explain what it did wrong. Because only the mother or father will have a real effect at that age.

what? punish the child and ask his or her parents to discipline the child. you have a right since he said something mean to you.

Stop going over their house. The child doesn't know what the words mean. Sounds like bad parenting to me.
