I occasionaly stop by PPT for nostaligias sake and never think to post; but this thread has compelled me to buck that trend.
I am quite astounded by it, actually. Everyone here seems to fancy themselves an expert on the fundraising and dispersal of aid to Africa, and possess rigirous knowledge on ... |

Those square watermelons that cost thousands of dollars. Oh, and the Swiffer wetjet. When you use it on your floors, it kills your pets because they walk on it, lick their paws, and die of the antifreeze in it.
In regards to the the whole Swiffer wetjet myth:

I'm currently reading volume 2 of Proust's Recherche de temps passe (In Search of Lost Time). Which for all of you that don't know, is a 3000+ page masterpiece of moden literature.
After that, I'm going to read David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest , a 'po-mo' novel with 100 or so pages of ... |

I read 'alternative' or 'indy' comics/graphic novels. None of that superhero mush, thank you!
Last one I read was Embroderies by Marjane Satrapi.. Which wasnt bad, although not as good as her Persepolis series.
I also have a number on order - the latest Acme Novelty Library by Chris Ware ... |

Ah well, I stand corrected!
Although that article gives a more balanced view of the teaching methods.. I understand to an extent what they are trying to get at.
However, I'm skeptical that this would ever be introduced into high schools, simply because Universities wouldnt accept such a ... |

I haven't posted in a long, long time but I felt compelled to leave a quick message.
I will put this bluntly. I think you are making this up. That, or your mother is stringing you along, or you're misconstruing what she tells you.

The problem with Catcher in the Rye is that it is exceptionally dated, and it makes it hard for angst filled teens to relate to it as much as it was originally intended to.

I have no patience for bizzare jumbled names, so I typically assign arbitrary names to them.
For instance, "vkceankraz" is 'vicerun' in my mind. I do that with quite a few names, actually. |

I've always said life would be twice as great if we all treated it like a greek tragedy (okay, maybe I've only thought this to myself, but give me a break ). However, I'll spare you the melodrama (apart from the title!) and give it to you straight.
