Well, I didnt have to but I want to. I typed this up but forgot to title it and it got ignored so now i have to write it again and it wont be as good as the original masterpiece. Yes, a very bad excuse for a bad post. Oh well.
I'm going to talk about my 8th Grade Social studies teacher Mr. Ring. Some of you might find this mildly humorous. Some of you may even laugh! Man that would be sweet. I would feel special.
I came into the class and it seemed pretty normal. The teacher's head looked like a Potato, but he was pretty normal too otherwise. He talked about the rules and stuff. Average day. For the rest of the week we watched movies with names like "School House Rocks: Geography Rocks" and "General Geographys Geography Jamboree!" They were obviously intended for 3rd graders but oh well. At least it was an easy week. The next week he talked about his coin collection and then handed us about 5 worksheets. He did this every day. When i finished them i was rewarded with more worksheets and a peek at one of his rarest coins. I eventually got fed up with this and began to write answers on the worksheets like "some guy." Boy am I glad that I did. I got a perfect score on the worksheet. I watched him grade it and found out he doesnt even read them at all. He just made sure there was enough writing. Knowing this was great. The rest of this post is about those great pieces of work I created while in Mr. Ring's Social Studies Class.
CURRENT EVENT: Do any of you remember these things? You had to write about a news article each week. I would make mine up during 1st period. I remember one of them was titled "Man Implants Flashlight Inside Penis, Creating a Penis Flashlight!" Another was "Professor Baron Von Science invents Science!"
Grade: A
IN CLASS ESSAY ON PANAMA CANAL: Since all Mr Ring ever talked about was his coin collection, I didnt know a thing about the panama canal. There was a 1 page minimum so I decided to make up some facts. I also spaced each word out by about 1 inch. One of the facts was, "Millions of men died while creating the Panama Canal, so it was later named The Canal of Doom." This took up about 3 lines.
Grade: B+
JACKSON JOURNAL: This was a small booklet that was supposed to look like an old journal. In order give it that aged look, i tried using fire. I ended up burning a hole right through the middle of the journal. After that I threw it in the mud. It got too wet so I tried to dry it. While drying I accidentally ripped out 2 pages. Oh well. I still turned it in even though it was impossible to read. I didnt even put the 2 pages back in. Mr Ring must have just assumed it was another B+ piece by IronChef.
15th Amendment Essay: I still have this one. Here is a quote straight from it: "The 15th Amendment is the 15th of the Amendments. It was a Civil War Amendment. It was a Civil War Amendment because it was made during the Civil War. It made many people happy. They were happy because they liked the 15th Amendment. Happy people. It made many people sad...
Grade: B+
Another time we had to make a board that had a bunch of facts about a famous Civil War person. Mr Ring put out several examples of good BioBoards. I stole one of them and wrote my own name on it then turned it in again.
Grade: A-
One time the seating assignment was changed. I had to sit in the very front and all of my friends were in the back.(EDIT: I don't really have any friends. But I don't like the front.) I told Mr. Ring that I couldn't see the board, so he moved me to an open seat in the back where I could go unnoticed while i slept.
I checked my grade and it was only a B+. This is unnacceptable. I went up to Mr Ring and talked to him about his coin collection. I told him it is really cool and interesting. Next week my grade was an A.
I did not make any of this up. I sure wish I had more teachers like Mr. Ring this year. No more sleeping in the isle during class. Oh well.

I was talking to my sister's friend the other day and she said that she had Mr Ring when she was in 8th grade. She said that she ditched the class almost every day for the whole year. Man i wish I would have thought of that.

Yeah, I think we've all tried, or known someone who tried, to just write bullshit answers to see if the teacher looked at the homework. well played, well played indeed

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I pressed the back button when it displayed the error but then it just said that the page had expired. Oh well.

"Some of you may even laugh! Man that would be sweet. I would feel special."
Feel special. That was FUCKING HILARIOUS!
btw if you ever get an error message again, telling you it won't post hit the back button immediately and whatever you've written will still be there. Pity you had to write this again from scratch.
The error message comes up if your title is all in CAPS or one big word with no spaces inbetween.

Sorry, is there another one of these? It said that "This Message Was ignored because I dont like the title" when i submitted it the first time because I forgot to give it a title. I assumed that meant that it wasn't posted. So I had to write it all over again. If the other one did get posted then I'm sorry.

Funny stuff... I had an absentminded AP English teacher in 12th grade who gave a girl in my class a 94 on an oral report that she never gave.
"Canal of Doom." Mwa-ha-ha.
