It's supposed to be more difficult than a high school class; that's what we signed up for.

The problem is that we're trying to take the equivalent of a college history class in 45 minutes a day. So, yeah, outside research is necessary.

And don't knock wikipedia.

Dinnertime.

Considering that a college history class is going to be 50 minutes for five days a week (assuming 5 credits and a quarter system) it's a case where let's face it high school academics are... well a joke.

Sure, outside research is necessary in college but you also don't have the load of busy work that High School (even Honors or AP classes) have.

Of course part of the issue is the whole parents being convinced "are our childrens learning" doesn't happen unless they're constantly busy. Half of the time even the low-work load of some lower division college courses could be cut down. (an actual research paper or two per quarter or a research project instead of drowning in smaller assignments)

In the end, most education needs a leaner 'smarter, not harder' approach. Instead of long assignment regurgitating the text, giving people actual skills to look up original sources and know how to use them is more valuable for college prep. (instead of having to teach it to every single intro course over and over again when they're already supposed to know this...)

Wow, I should totally print that off and send it to my Principal.

My AP classes don't have so much busywork. My APUSH class only has homework once or twice per quarter. And then English and Enviro have lotsa reading, but that's to be expected. Honors classes love busywork, though. But that's because they have to be seperated from standard classes somehow. Standard classes are for the kids who go here because they live in the surrounding ghetto. *nods*

I parallel parked this morning. Right after I almost hit some Indian kid who ran across the road in front of me without looking. What the **** is with Indian kids and running across the road without looking? We've actually had one *die* because of that, and they continue to do it!

Be thankful it'll save you money on a defensive driving course.

Running Indian Children have a lot in common with drunk teenagers at the wheel.

You'd think hey'd be more careful. They are all so twiggy. If you tap them they might break. :3

He'll (she'll) probably just laugh at the musings of a wee archaeology PhD student, and pull the 'life experience' line as an excuse for his/her knowing best...

I would, but for some reason I like the one I have just for the hell of it.

I went and sat in my English class for like ten minutes this morning and then my English teacher went all "What are you doing here? Get out."

I'm always under the impression that few people give a hoot about English.

Well it's generally regarded as an easy, pushover subject anyway

EDIT: Ohh, and tedious!

[iamzack]

AP Psych is the easy, pushover subject. I has open book test retake next period. Teehee. -.-

Easy if you're a native English speaker?
Oh right...I forgot even my Senior class in '07 could barely read for **** and was unable to distinguish when to properly use two, too, and to, or their, there, and they're, etc...
