  Very little is forgotten during vacations--if anything, new things are integrated.

  This reminds me on one tremendous waste of time. After summer vacation we used to spend a good two months reviewing lessons from the previous year. They seemed to assume we forgot everything, and that's when I honed my paper airplane skills, which eventually evolved into the development of model rockets propelled by fuel made at home. It was similar in composition to gunpowder. I got into a lot of trouble shooting these things across the classroom. My teacher actually confiscated around a pound of the stuff that I had in my desk. It was easily reproduced though, using ingredients available off the shelf in any drug store.

  Know why a lot of parents don't spend the time they need to with their children and teaching them? Because they are both exhausted from working at McDonald's for slave wages because they didn't go to college. I come home from my internship at an office exhausted but able to do things with the kids after work. I didn't have that menial hard labor to do on my feet for 7 hours. That used to kill me.

  People really do need college. It should be a requirement for living in America to go to college and make this nation stronger.

  Yes, I discovered my patriotic side after leaving the JWs.

  What makes me sad is the shear number of adults making teenage jobs their careers. It's really sad. Those jobs are for teens to teach them work ethics and earn them supplementary income to pay for clothes and CDs, not for adults to try and live off of. Sad. So sad. I wished everyone would take advantage of what's out there and go to college if funding is available to them.
