I agree on all points said about teachers. There are so many teachers who work their ASSES off, and it sure as hell isn't because of the money. They do more in a day and put up with much more than most people could do in a week. Honestly, my world history teacher didn't have to stay for a solid two ...

As Parakiss said, I agree with some of what is being said, but you really need to give the schools more credit. The system has some definite flaws, but I tend to think this has more to do with lack of funding for new and better teachers, and the overwhelming student population problem in some areas....

Oh wow, I loved that show! My little brother and I used to get up at seven in the morning on Saturday when we were little to watch it. The only specific show I remember is when bowser opened up an evil fast food joint and Mario got fat and lazy from eating too many burgers, but Luigi only ate chicke...

This is the first year you are able to take an AP course at my school (AP World History, best class ever, and luckily I also have a great teacher), and you get your first taste of freedom- and its consequences. Nobody is making you spend two hours a night outlining i...

Personally, I think this is a very lucky use of sterotypes. Its not really a science, but since so many people are affected in similar ways and share similar experiences because of their birth order it makes it appear this way. This subject really interests me and I've read a lot about it. I think p...
