Beware, there's something else going on in the schools. They get the kids to write in their journals on Monday mornings. These are then turned in for the teacher to read.

You'd be surprised what happens then......gossip among the teachers. Trouble is some kids have vivid imaginations that spring into use when they can't think of anything interesting to write about, especially if they just watched TV all weekend.

Exactly. I know a fellow who filled out one of these questionaires when he was in high school. (Didn't have 'em when I was in) He told me that most kids made up what they thought would be the "coolest" answers. It was a sort of a contest to see who could say they were doing the most drugs, or their parents were, how many sexual partners they had been with, etc. One would think that the powers that be would recognize this and know that the results were highly tainted. But, one would also think that such questionaires would never be foisted upon school kids. At least not in a free society, anyway.
