Holy Cannoli

I was going to just write something about this homework report that came out, and I will in a second. But I went onto ESPN and it seems Terrell Owens tried to committ suicide! Yikes. T.O. is most definitely a drama queen. Note that he took only five of the pain pills but he wanted to make it seem like he took the whole bottle because he threw away all the other pills, making it seem like he downed over 40. I suppose it’s just mean anyway you slice it to call someone who tried to kill themselves a drama queen. But still. I call ’em like I see ’em.

A Duke researcher says students get little benefit from homework and goes on to say that homework might even be detrimental. Because it makes students tired and less attentive in class. It’s a very interesting idea. But I feel like class should be a place for discussion and stuff and where else are you going to do things like reading?

This guy on ESPN on TMQ was saying that he thought it was public school teacher’s revenge against parents. Because kids would be complaining more about homework and then the parents would be helping them with the homework too. Creating a massive headache for the parents. But TMQ had a good point in that teachers are paid next to nothing, but they get a constant berating from society about what’s wrong with our educational system. Why aren’t our kids learning? And they’re supposed to take all that, teach kids that don’t want to learn, and do it for like $25,000 a year(in some places).

This is why my brother quit teaching!

I’m calling it right now. Subway Series again in ’06. Yankees and Mets are already the two best teams in baseball. I’m hoping Mets win.
