Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison

I automatically hit it even if I know my spelling is correct. You appear much more intelligent when your spelling is correct, plus, it is easier to understand what you are trying to say.

So i'm about to be 21 and in my opinion time is going really fast because it seems like I just graduated from high school yesterday not 3 years ago. This time 3 years ago I was packing up for college, super excited for what was ahead of me but upset that my parents made me stay instate for school, and refused to support me if I transeferred. Now I'm 28 days shy of 21 and after taking a semester off from school to think about somethings and figure somethings out.still don't know what I want to do. I am registered for classes this semester and part of me is really ready to go back, the other part of me wants to join the air force because I wanted to do something different and travel to new places, and serve our country for four years and finish school but was afraid to disappoint my family. I have about one day to figure out what I want to do. I'm afraid to miss out on something by not joining or regret if I do. either way I want to get my degree

I have several student who are spoiled at home and some not diagnosed , whom I am sure suffer with ADD or ADHD. I have exhausted my relm of options. Discipline methods have been implimented. The administration had advised the teachers that no student will be suspended as we did not make AYP the prior year. We were told we would need to handle classroom discipine problems ourselves. I need some advice on how to be strongly effective, not punishing the innocent, but making a meomorable, lasting effect on these unruly second graders. There is much apathy, lying, disregard for authority, and defiance. Some parents "respond", but do nothing to help change the behavor. One parent came to sit with her child in the classroom Friday, and allowed her daughter to cuddle with her as they talked during my teaching time. I came close to asking her to leave. Sometimes the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Entering this year I am on academic probation at the University of Connecticut. I have a 1.66 cumlative gpa with 45 credits entering in my third year. I am 21 years old and even if I take a full course load every semester to graduate I will have to stay at Uconn for atleast 6 more semesters. Is it worth it to take out $80,000 more in loans to get a B.S. in Physiology from UCONN or should I just cut my losses at being $40,000 in debt and take itt tech courses for 1 year to get a B.S. in Forensic Science. I've talked to ITT tech representatives and they said if I take 6 courses in the fall and spring and then 3 courses in the summer assuming that all of my credits from UCONN transfer I will have a B.S. in Forensic science from ITT tech school of Criminal Justice Online and it will cost $10,000 total. If I do this will I still be able to get a job even though itt tech is not accrediated? Or should I stay at UCONN? I want to become a middle school science teacher maybee

I'm writing an essay about how "Poverty and Isolation can weaken the Human Spirit" and I need different characters whose spirits got weak by poverty and/or isolation. I only need 3, but I have 4, & the paragraph's too big. So tell me- who supports my thesis the least?

*Bob Ewell- w/o a wife, job, or respect from ppl in Maycomb, he drank and neglected his children, & accused Tom of rape bcuz he thought he'd be praised, but when he wasn't he seeked revenge bcuz he had nothing to lose.
*Mayella Ewell- tried to separate herself from family's dirty image, but still had no friends, so she befriended Tom but was so ashamed that she let her dad accuse him of rape.
*Tom Robinson- was nice enough to help Mayella, but was then accused of rape &, after being found guilty & ostracized by Maycomb, lost hope in justice system and tried to run from jail.
*Boo Radley- was locked in house for 15 yrs by strict father, & stayed inside his house after his father died.
