I've come to the conclusion that too many teachers nowdays just assign homework and don't even check it. I've no idea what they do during the actual classroom time. Good teachers are harder and harder to find in the public schools.

Homework:
From another thread: House passes partial birth abortion ban; passed 281-142
Defenders say it is sometimes the safest way to protect the health and future fertility of the mother when an abortion is found to be necessary during the second and third trimester of a pregnancy.
That proves that defenders of this procedure are filthy lying sacks of feces. Every medical association from general practitioners to ob-gyn doctors has gone on record stating that this procedure is NEVER medically necessary for the life or health of the mother and most even go further and state that it is almost always more dangerous than alternative procedures. I personally would like to confront and b*tch-slap any idiot that makes the
abhorrent claim asserted above in defense of the indefensible.

I loved Flutie even when he whipped up on us while in college. And you're right about the pro bowl - I could tell you stories about how the balloting is done.
