I know when I was in school and we had a spelling test or something we'd swap papers and grade each other's tests, but that was before privacy and self-esteem became such huge issues with students in schools. I'd never ask a kid to grade another kid's test- how each child does on his or her work is not anyone else's business.
And of course, you'd like to be able to have a kid grade his or her own - but cheating is so rampant now- in fact I was reading it's pretty much the norm. It used to be the exception rather than the rule that someone cheated- now it's the rule rather than the exception- it's rare to find students who even think there's anything wrong with it.
I typed the wrong word
we corrected our own tests, open book and open note. Kinda hard to cheat when the assignment is to look up the right answers and fill them in.

A lot of people are interested in copying my answers, I think my glasses and quiet nature have something to do with it. I feel responsible for a lot of low grades.

Oh no
I can be in quite a good mood before 5th period. She's only slightly less irritating than my little brother. She's loud, stereotypical, disrespectful, and practically worships meaningless busy-work.

What grade are you in? What's your favorite subject (let me guess- zoology/biology)?
I'm 16 in the 12th grade (17 in 7 days) I had sex-ed in 6th grade, and I was supposed to again as part of physical education in 10th but we never got to it. Sexuality is hormonal more than anything
Kids have always experimented. In the middle ages, if they were found out or accused of it they would be killed or severely beaten. As time progressed people came to their senses and instead just locked horny teens in stocks outside without clothes so they could die when the weather became bad enough and so the townspeople could throw things at them. I find that people would rather blame the media than admit that violence and sex existed before the 1980s
My favorite subject is graphic arts, mostly because I get to use Apple computers in that class but I also tend to finish my assignments very early and have time to play games or download stuff to use on my home computer. On the intimacy part, I'm still a virgin but I don't have to have experience to know I'm a zoophile haha. I hope that's not too open, I have a habit of saying whatever I think or feel (especially online).
