QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) I remember exactly how it went. I did many of those things that you mentioned. Up at 6:30am, AP classes all day, 18 hour a week job after school, homework until 11pm. Music practices on the days that I wasn't at work. National Honor Society, Quizzing, Pep Band, Marching Band, Concert Band, Choir, Drama, Musicals, Band Camp in the summer, college prep crap, writing papers without computers, working in the school for the decoration committee. My point is, you're only adding around two hours of in-school time to the schedule. Those two hours can be learning/practicing/studying/writing hours, hours that would have been used for the same thing at home without a teacher around to help. You may say they can put those 2 hours to good use in school time. But in reality all it would do was cut into the already sleep deprived students sleep schedules. If it is done without a teacher then why not keep it outside of school so students can do it when they have time for it.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:23 PM) Mine was 7:45 to 2:20, but if the day is longer, there's less of a chance for kids to get in trouble after school and more of a chance for teachers to actually teach. Clubs/Activites/Sports keep them out of trouble, and with college admissions now if you plan to go they're are a must as you need them on your application to compete with other applicants. With those all those after school activities some kids wont finish until 8pm and with dinner, then homework some wont end up sleeping until 1 or 2 in the morning if not later. Making it almost impossibly to get up at 6-7.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) It would be longer classes, and a longer day. It's like that in college. Mon-W-Fr can be English for 1 1/2 hr, Science for 2 hours, History for 1 1/2 hr, Math for 1 1/2 hours, 1 hr gym, two 15 minute breaks, 1 30 minute lunch. Tu-Th can be electives. Not true college I go from 9-4 on Monday but I usually get out around 3, and have a 1.5 hour break from 12:30-2, Tuesday/Thurdays I go from 12:35-1:50 and 3:35-4:50, and on Wednesday and Friday I go from 9-11 So basically Monday- 7 Hours Tuesday/Thursday- 2.5 hours Wednesday/Friday-2 hours I spend way less time in class in college then I did in high school

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) It also appears to be on the new MLB cannel on cable. I can see it tomorrow. Also the game vs. the Cubs is on MLB TV channel Thursday WGN also, same with wednesday's game vs the cubs

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) How about a longer school day in high school? 7am to 3:30pm. Just like a real job. When I was in High school the end of the day I just stopped caring, adding 2 hours to that day would've really made me not care at the end. Don't say well thats how life is in the real world because you don't get paid to attend high school.

i love illinois state

Wow. RIP to both

This is awesome now well be able to somehow watch the majority of their games.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 20, 2009 -> 08:21 PM) Someone had to be sick. No ISU just played like s***, and rightfully lost. They couldn't get a rebound to save their lives, and turned the ball over way to much. Yet somehow it was still a game at the end. It also didn't help that osiris decided to have the worst game of his career. Though they did play excellent defense against him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 17, 2009 -> 03:00 PM) No idea. We know Peter and Hiro get their powers back somehow, not sure how that happens, and what is with Ando's power? There has to be something more to it. I hope they are setting something up, cause right now they are treading water. I don't see what your not getting. We already know Ando's power enhances other peoples powers. The story line this volume is nathan trying to lock them up, and the heroes fighting back it is named "fugitives". And also Sylar trying to find his dad. Which is what were getting. There is no doubt in my mind though that the kid is sylar's brother. Kring wants to simplify the show which is why those old characters will never come back, the copy cat...etc, and wants this volume to be able to be watched with no prior knowledge of the other ones to gain viewership.

Derrick Rose is really good. Domination.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 12, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) Someone on lostpedia has a different take on Annie: Along with this....Kate's middle name is anne

Yeah I was there the arena was in disbelief. Every time they put up a three people expected it to go in. Great last minute. ISU played terribly early in the game and could of had them buried and gone though.

wow

WOOOOOOO~~~!!!!!!!

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) Good game tonight SIU guys. Good fight you put up shorthanded. We luckily hit all of our free throws. We hit almost all of them in the Bradley game too. The reason we won both games, hitting free throws is key.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) I love when doing laundry and you fine like 5 bucks in the pocket of your jeans To add to this putting your winter coat on for the first time each winter, and finding money in its pockets.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 06:03 AM) Another thing i noticed last night was when Faraday's group was captured the little blond looked and him and said "You just couldn't stay away could you?" and never went back to that. Lost sin't the type of show to have throw away lines so that line leaves me a bit curious. I think maybe....just maybe that the blonde (i think her name was Elle) is a young Mrs. Faraday. she probably recognized her son but then covered it when she realized her son didn't recognize her. Then again...i did have a couple beers last night so I could be way off. I believe that when she said that she meant "You" as in the American military. Meaning the Military couldn't stay away because she thought they were with the military. I do however believe that Ellie is Ms. Hawking who is Daniel's mom.

He just got rocked.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Jan 29, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) It was a nice change of pace. Those 6 really annoy me lately. This. Though Desmond is my favorite character so maybe I have a Bias.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 10:52 PM) In the context of setting up the upcoming story i thought the episode was pretty good. I'll be interesting when Des and Penny get to LA. Ben and Desmond never met on screen so it will be interesting to see what wrinkle he throws into Ben's plans. The mention of Widmore caught me by surprise so the old man was/is an original Other??? i guess that explains why he's hunting for the island so bad. I caught that Des named his boy Charlie. Thought that was a nice touch since Des felt guilty about Charlie's death on the island. It was nice getting some more background on the island and it's original inhabitors. maybe we'll eventually see the explanation for the 4 toed statue. The statue is Richard's foot.

True The person below me is a procrastinator

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 04:43 PM) Yes apparently, I was was. What a night. Here's a tip: If you get to your friend's place and you find out they have no beer but plenty of vodka, it's going to be an interesting night. What if you go to your friends house and they have plenty of beer and vodka. Those always make for the nights you dont remember and the mornings you want to forget.
