here's some energy to help you out

thanks; I'll need it. Why this district has FRESHMEN do research papers, I'll never figure out!

Little Smoke did one in 5th grade this year - table of contents, bib, the whole 9

these freshmen really don't have the thinking skills to do a research paper though. Thank goodness I'm going to the curriculum re-write!

1st hour 22 students, 4 papers

after 3 classes: 59 students; 15 papers

Grand total: 81 students; 18 papers. *sigh* so, that means I will have 63 automatic failures for this quarter (department policy)
