You did what!!!!????

One of Tearfree's classes was assigned a book review due this week. As a student was handing hers in, Tearfree asked her how she liked her book.

"I didn't like it at all," she said. "But I wrote a positive review because you said it was harder to write a positive review than a negative one."

"Let me get this straight," said Tearfree. "You didn't like it. But you wrote a positive review anyway?"

"Yes, I thought it would improve my chance for a better mark."

Can't wait to read that review!!!

unfortuantely, our this new generation is raised to do whatever it takes to get the grade...cheat, lie, fake a positive book review....

maybe the problem si with what we're teaching them.

I'm only 27, and have no kids of my own; i dread the idea of what my kids might do.

maybe a little less chirstina aguilera and reality shows might do them good.
