I was serious. The special ed department is allowed to teach Tolkein--the regular English classes are not. I'm sorry if you thought that was meant as a dig....Just that I couldn't choose that title if I wanted to. We had more leeway in that school in terms of selecting more contemporary literature for seniors, such as "The Things They Carried."

And of course, I'm proud of you.... But as an English teacher, I had to lecture you on the English grade. Imagine what it's like if you're in my classroom.... My students do their homework because detention consists of sitting with me nagging them for an hour about why they aren't putting in the effort....

Will Bs in English keep you out of college? Probably not. Are they the difference many times between scholarship acceptances and paying your own freight? From the people I've spoken to, that's the edge.... The little bit extra that puts those students over the top. I didn't earn As in English in high school.... My honors classes were weighted so the Bs I got without studying beyond a casual reading of the text was enough.... And I remember this every month when I pay my student loan for the part that wasn't covered by my scholarship money--which someone else would have paid for if I had worked a little bit harder in school. The money I pay for my student loan every month would put me in a WDW deluxe hotel for a week.... And that's just the *small* undergrad loan--not the graduate loans. And that's not including the loan my parents took out to help me that I watch them pay every month because I don't make enough money to cover that, too...

I wasn't expecting a scholarship Mighty. Financially I'm very well off...I'm very happy to say that paying for tuition will not be a big issue for me. Lets just say I've got a little more in my savings account than most kids my age. I can thank my dad for that.

I'll try harder in english mighty, I promise. :) I would like to see all A's next quarter too. Although one B would still be fine for me. :p

Really? Do you want to pay my daughter's tuition too? ;)

Actually, people who pay "full tuition" in private colleges are already carrying some of the "scholarship" students.

That´s too bad... I´m sorry about that. I have friends who are in the same situation.

I´m glad we have public education here all the way to professional studies. I studied with nuns in a private school until I started the university which was public and cost me almost nothing for 4 years, and still there were scholarships!. Education is available for everybody who wants to get it.
