the coffeeshop idea is a ripper, unfortunately no such thing exists here, but i did sit down and have a serious chat with mum about it. though the ground rule has been set - i touch him, even the slightests of a beating, im out. she says she sees too many kids at the clinic due to physical abuse - doesnt want him to turn out like that. good advice though, just cant implement it. though she will discipline him a bit stronger now, which can only be a good thing.
she's going to talk with a close workmate tomorrow about being able to spend time there to study - which is good, seeing as its only her and her husband living there.
i spoke with my math teachers, and they have been major assistance - one is willing to give me out of hours tuition, free. he's also trying to round together a lockable filing cabinet as mentioned here for me for the rest of the year so it doesnt happen again. he was seriously pissed off when he found out the summary was destroyed, as he was incredibly pleased with the effort i put into it. specialist maths is already tough enough, and as his top student, is willing to get my work back on track ready for revision. he see's me as his chance to get a student with a higher than 46/50 (his best student in 1995) subject score for the hardest maths available at a high school level.
all in all, i think it'll work out if i'm able to study at mums workmates place whenever i feel like. there ill have quiet space. its a strong possibility as mums done a lot for her during her cancer treatment, so lets hope.
if anyone knows of very helpful math sites regarding vector calculus and parametric equations, along with kinematics (assessment next week), i'd be forever grateful, just to be able to get some further notes/examples that i have lost.
thanks for the advice. i read it this morning before classes, and went about what you's had said. rock on TFP'ers!
