2007-2008 School Year

Alex has found a new companion this year for school. Long gone are the days of video games, IM, etc. New are Word Perfect, calculator and etc. He finally has reached at his old age of 15 the test to see if he has the ability to do REAL homework. This year is his challenge where in the past he has been able to do minimum work for maximum grades. No longer living the dream world of a teenager. Books, piano, books, and more graph paper........ahhh...... He actually does his homework on the computer and sends it directly to his teachers at school.
This baffles me, and I tell him to save a hard draft and take it in hand just in case he gets in the classroom and for some reason the computer system failed. Totally new technology for me. They do all kinds of graphing and etc, they send directly. Then when he goes to school the next day, it eleminates a paper trail. But, it would worry me......

So glad you guys started to blog!!! That is crazy that you don't hand in your homework. I guess i would have failed all my classes because sometimes i would have done my homework the period before it was due. =)
