Of course, I wasn't a very rigorous student, so I probably didn't take that many classes that would require me to work that hard. :)Kadi Easleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567815525192651318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-23201202933810064182009-09-14T14:47:55.920-04:002009-09-14T14:47:55.920-04:00Yes, she means that everything MUST be typed.

I guess they can always type it up afterward.<br /><br />In regard to more research-type assignments, many of them DO get plagiarized, Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-60788573743846382772009-09-14T13:37:32.814-04:002009-09-14T13:37:32.814-04:00No hand-written assignments?

Aside from the question of economics, if everything is printed out, how can the teacher tell whether the student actually worked on it himself?Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-6528159186757013242009-09-14T10:39:49.259-04:002009-09-14T10:39:49.259-04:00Oh yes, Liz--every teacher starts young, but the k...Oh yes, Liz--every teacher starts young, but the kids never know it. :) What a neat reunion, though.<br /><br />Lonnie, that's hilarious!

We all complained that the five minute break between classes wasn't enough time to make the walk, not to mention switching out books from our lockers.

When my junior high classmates made contact after 51 years, we found one teacher we all remembered was the beautiful young art and homeroom teacher. My most vivid memory was something she said about art; someone else's was about how she'd helped her through an embarrassing rite of passage. We invited her and her husband to our f2f reunion. She was still lovely--and 75!Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
