    Good Luck on that happening and people staying on topic.

    It's like hearing the red leader's voice over your cockpit mic when attacking the Death Star: "Stay on topic! Stay on topic!"

    Reading. They used to teach that in school, didn't they?

    WHAT?!?! When did they teach in schools? I thought that one was an urban legend.

Howitt Jr High School sentence...something like 165 detentions, 3 out of school suspensions, 1 in school suspension HUH? wtf is that all about??? (this was all between 7-8 grades) I went on to an illustrious school year in high school doing something that reminded me of arcades and more ditching classes until my parents dragged me kicking and screaming to upstate New York and made me bus to school...strangest thing is that they graduated me early and sent me off to college at the age of 16 but for some reason I never completed most of the high school curriculum...people are like wow, you went to college at 16?!!! and I'm like yeah, I'm not exactly Doogie fuckin Howser, I just lucked the fuck out I guess...
    See the educational systems are so fucked up even within the same state that you can be in Honors classes in one school and then show up to the future McDonald's employees school and if you transfer all your credits into one of those "not quite as good as" programs, your school can legally say you have earned enough education to leave early WOOHOO
    So I went to college and explored more ways to party and fuck off but with people that were older and wiser in the ways of this classic artform...ah it's good to be an American!
    If they let you leave early, did you still get a new york regents diploma or was it a local/school diploma?

    They no longer have the local/school diplomas, NYS regents is now the only game in town and its designed to keep you there the full 4 years (its an intentional part of the requirements). PINS has also been extended through age 18 in NY so, even dropping out is harder to do.

    We all know how well the classroom learning environment fares when kids who DON'T want to be there, who KNOW they aren't gonna graduate are being stuck there to avoid truancy arrests.

    I'm so glad i got out of the NYS k-12 schools when I did, I feel soo sorry for the kids that have to go through the system now.

    So it goes that we must all stay on topic.

    To which I reply, "I like turtles." I have included the following audio/visual presentation to elaborate my point about the importance of staying on topic.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...072901386.html

    The following has not been an actual public service announcement and is used solely for entertainment purposes. No actual turtles where harmed during the creation of this presentation. No actual turtle endosresement is stated nor imnplied. Erections lasting longer than 4 hours is not normal and you should call the local chapter head of the P.T.A. should this occur.
