The “D” was a gift

The Great Gatsby in college?

I remember reading that in Middle School

What are they reading in Middle Schol? Those 1st grade Golden books?

We read Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserable” and Edith Hamilton’s “Mythology” in eighth grade. Times have changed.

Did you misspell School on purpose?

Just curious.

Yeah, exactly what does a student have to do to get an “F”?

I’ll tell you what... most people could study for weeks and not get a “D” on most STEM courses. But hand in this and you still sorta pass? (A “C” will balance you out into clearly passing territory.)

Come on... if you’re going to write about Tom and Jerry, at least get your facts straight! They were from MGM, not Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes (sic).

I’m just surprised Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes are still being shown anywhere in the world.

My kids are in their late teens and twenties and they have never heard of Elmer Fudd or Wiley E. Coyote.

Sponge Bob or Powder Puff girls are what that generation knows.

BINGO! Every day I’m shocked at what young people don’t know that I did at that age and scads more.

Why is a college student startling on about cartoon characters?

A friend’s grandson, in get-high skool, was assigned a Hardy Boys book as a reading assignment in his English class.
