[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Effect is the noun. Affect is the verb. [/quote] I agree it should have been "effect on GT admission" -- effect is usually (but not always) a noun. Normally it refers to the impact something has on something else. Sometimes effect can be used as a verb, as a synonym for bringing out change -- i.e., to effect change. Affect is almost always a verb -- to impact something else. In this case, the possessive "teacher's" means that the next word should be a noun. To use affect properly here, you could ask, "How do the Principal and home teacher affect GT admissions?" Affect can also be used as a noun, but it refers to an attitude that someone has, like, "He put on an upperclass affect when he was around them." Or, "the Principal and home teacher adopted a sour affect when I talked to them about GT admissions." Sorry...couldn't resist.[/quote]
