Thanks for the chuckle.<BR/><BR/>Larry: Hey, you've wandered over! That's great! (Or should I say, "Hey, you've wandered over^ That's great^", so as to appear less maniacal.)<BR/><BR/>The thing is, though, that it's a time-honored tradition throughout educational history to have a core of classic assignments that students should master. I think the blame lies more in our culture, with the "get someting for nothing" mentality. Damn kids. And their damn MTV.kStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722899143558375319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1121979950099987652005-07-21T17:05:00.000-04:002005-07-21T17:05:00.000-04:00I kind of like Ann's point here, and I wonder if t...I kind of like Ann's point here, and I wonder if the issue goes back to the school system. School is where most of us who write got started, but students now have easy cyberaccess to billions of web pages, and thus they are acutely aware that everything they can think of to say has already been written. But if they have (dull) assignments, and until they have an original thought, the temptation simply to use something they have found must be intense.<BR/><BR/>Bad, of course. Bad, bad students. And the pros should definitely be spanked or something.Larry Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425250800667058263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1121976604370133662005-07-21T16:10:00.000-04:002005-07-21T16:10:00.000-04:00I worked with a Homosexual one time and felt exact...I worked with a Homosexual one time and felt exactly the same way (in reference to the Indexer).
