hey carlisle, for tomorrow do we get class time to work on the wkst we got today?
6:51 PM
You are the best for not assigning homework tonight. I think every Thursday night we shouldn't get any homework since the drafts of different sections of the Psych IA are due on Fridays.

Hey Carlise, I had a question about the first essay question. Do all reform movements we talk about have to go against social customs at the time? Because I wanted to write about the Benevolent Empire in addition to Abolitionism and Women's suffrage
7:38 PM
Yea, it is hard out here in the 'burbs, and the hardest thing is IB english... Perhaps it's because not much else is hard, or perhaps it's because it truly is hard... Either way, that's what makes it hard out here in the 'burbs
7:40 PM
yes john lee we do. indeed we do

ROOOOOTS Tomorrow!!!!!! Wooooo!!! KIZZY!!! "This is not my home!! But this is my family!!!" (Toby / Kunta Kinte)
8:02 PM
Do we ever talk of Buffalo Soldiers? Just wondering.
8:18 PM
Kyle,
If my class isn't hard enough for you I want do my best to increase the level of difficulty. I think they're will be 6 possible essay questions on the final unit test of the semester!
Charlotte,
You're welcome. Don't get use to it.
Saraga,
Who's this Carlise you speak of? No Benevolent Empire. I don't essay questions to turn into research questions. Just focus on what we discussed in class.
Kyle--Part II,
If you remind me when we get to the post-Civil War era. I can bring in some stuff on Buffalo Soldiers.
8:32 PM
oh, oops my bad, that was a typo...
8:45 PM
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier,
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
If I don't remember, maybe this is all I need to know about them...

Chris
You keep quoting that line wrong.
It's:
"This is not my home! BUT THIS IS MY CHILD. And this is my family!"
Just FYI.
:)
9:36 PM
Sara, I honestly don't care about quoting the line correctly. It's about how I quote the line. It's right on.
Carlisle, it's not a matter of your class not being difficult. It's a matter of English is insane. The day after we turn in our essay, we get another essay assigned. Analyzing literature is way way harder than analyzing history.
10:16 PM
Pretty much spot on Chris... But because of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, and over justification; level of difficultly or rigor of curriculum is not the deciding factor in which classes my brain shall find itself at home in...
10:35 PM
Kyle and Chris,
Your last statements were some of the smartest stuff you've ever written on the blog. Message receieved and understood. Over and out.
