Miss Brown must be a business major. 45% of drivers are under the age of 18? Give me a break! Where did she dream that carp up? Somebody (teacher?) explain a bit of supply and demand to her as well. Gas prices go up to lack of demand?

I always knew the future was scarey. Such has been confirmed!

I graduated in 1997 and survived without cell phones as well as everyone else in history without cell phones. If you have an emergency, then go to the school office, call collect from a pay phone. If you can afford a cell phone, then you can afford to keep 50cents handy IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. Kids are so spoiled these days, they act like the world is so unfair. Hate to be you when you finally realize life is not all fun and games. Comment From: onecrabbylady  (Report this comment as a violation)

Audrey…Get real….yes cell phones are great in the case of an emergency….but text messaging is one of the #1 means of cheating in school today….see you all don’t have us as fooled as you think. If students could or would use their phones responsibility and honestly…and only in emergency then…perhaps WE would not be so resistant. Hummmm.

Shauni…you are correct they don’t have the TAKS test in college…instead they have THEA…much harder. I am a middle school teacher and while I agree with you about TAKS testing, I too hate it, it is the state that requires it…teachers don’t have a choice who work for the public school system. Also you may consider what it must be like everyday from the other side of the desk…you may be a great kid and student but for every one like you there is another one who doesn’t care and is disrespectful and rude. Most teachers I know will help students if they ask…but you need to find a time when they are not having to pay attention to something else. You are wrong about us just wanting to collect our paychecks…as poorly as we are paid…and with all the nonsense we deal with on a daily basis…I can think of at least 100 better jobs that would offer equal or better money and way less of the problems. Believe me…I know there are some teachers that perhaps shouldn’t be working as a teacher with kids…but most of us are there because we love working with kids and we love sharing what we love and being a small part of your success. Another thing…your homework…your responsibility…your work…your grade…your success. Comment From: onecrabbylady  (Report this comment as a violation)

Jesse…you young man have a bright and successful future because you have been lucky enough to be given the gift of those character traits that are important to being a great person… and you have been wise enough to learn and apply those lessons to yourself and in your everyday life. Who knows maybe we will be voting for you for President in the not so distant future…and we sure do need leaders with your character to lead our nation.
