They hand everything in on time (or ask for an extension), they have edited out all the spelling mistakes, but their work is so dull.simone rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626356778188873309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-67126440262647214382012-03-28T12:55:02.424+11:002012-03-28T12:55:02.424+11:00And I'm so thankful there weren't so many ...And I'm so thankful there weren't so many distractions back in my day, like facebook and blogs and the internet in general.

The girls at the bus stop are working madly because they DIDN'T put 5-7 hours in on Saturday. They looked like they were when their parents checked, but really they were on Facebook and texting their friends for most of that time. Now one is cramming for the biology test in period 2 and the other is working on the assignment that is due tomorrow that she has barely started but hopes her geog. teacher will give her an extension for if she shows him some hastily done work that morning and her brilliant smile (newly without braces of which she is very proud). That's what's really going on. Or at least, that's what I see because I spent a lot of my later years at highschool procrasinating and then madly catching up at the last minute. You see? You see what you think you see.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323321295593693009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-21776555184654272742012-03-28T11:08:40.972+11:002012-03-28T11:08:40.972+11:00I'm more worried about what's going to hap...I'm more worried about what's going to happen to a thirty four and a half year old who gets caught staring at school girls.<br />And when you've got a couple of teen age girls in the house you'll think a bit differently.Gary Warehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007830811200430012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-86262493916990263082012-03-27T09:58:33.614+11:002012-03-27T09:58:33.614+11:00Good girl all the way.
