" I was in advanced placement english , and even then, i had teachers who thought my parents wrote my papers. SORRY...I BE LITERATE!!"

Isn't it awful! I don't like suspecting kids of plagiarism ... but you never know when they put the work in or not. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

The problem is, with two classes of 70 kids, I don't know them well enough to really know when something is amiss.

In writing/reading, small class sizes are important. That's the only way to teach.

I used to teach in Denver, but I only had 20 kids per class.

Anyway, I'd better log off and put my (biological) children to bed. Take care, everyone! :)

and thanks, IM, for your posts and bumps here. They mean a lot... and I hope they will make a difference.

I hope Freepers care as much about repealing cfr as they do about infighting.

one last bump for the night.

Take care, anyone and everyone. I hope that people care...If not, the one thing you rely on might not exist... very soon, btw.
