| vbixby | 3/4 4:18 PM | this is very true |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:19 PM | you don't have any ambitions then? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:19 PM | that's very true...don't tie yourself down...just wondering what interests you |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:19 PM | you never have to make up your mind if you don't want to |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:19 PM | true |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:19 PM | you can do like 10 jobs in your lifetime |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:20 PM | computers intrest me a lot |
| kristins | 3/4 4:20 PM | so did you like Nothing but the Truth? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:20 PM | not quite |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:21 PM | what didn't you like about it? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:21 PM | it was dry |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:21 PM | like boring? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:21 PM | or just not interesting? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:21 PM | no like it was repetave |
| kristins | 3/4 4:21 PM | haha...really? i liked it! |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:22 PM | what did you find repetative about it? like the repeating memos? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:22 PM | yes |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:22 PM | did you notice how they were different? how each one said the same thing differently? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:22 PM | yes |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:22 PM | but it was the same thing |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:22 PM | what did that do to the story? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:23 PM | ykinda |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:23 PM | each one stretched the truth just slightly |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:23 PM | but the end product was quite different |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:23 PM | slowed it down |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:23 PM | but iread it in one daay |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:23 PM | well why do you think that Avi made it repetative then? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:23 PM | hahha well why don't we talk about some of the things that you might have liked about it |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:23 PM | that sounds good |
| kristins | 3/4 4:23 PM | was there anything you thought was neat? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:24 PM | so you catchit |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:24 PM | the fact he said he didn't know the anthem |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:24 PM | yeah, i thought that was a great ending |
| kristins | 3/4 4:24 PM | yeah...that was my favorite part |
| kristins | 3/4 4:24 PM | sooo ironic |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:24 PM | it kinda left you hainging |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:25 PM | Really drove the point home if you didn't get it already |
| kristins | 3/4 4:25 PM | yeah what do you think might have happened after that? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:25 PM | what do you think would happen to him at the new school? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:25 PM | yeah, it made the whole thing seem even more rediculoud |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:25 PM | I think it would have been just as hard--as if he had stayed at the old public
school |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:26 PM | it would hav |
| kristins | 3/4 4:26 PM | so did you like the main character? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:26 PM | why do you think it was called nothing but the truth? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:27 PM | because the didn't get the whole truth |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:27 PM | why do you think that happened? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:27 PM | seems backwards |
| kristins | 3/4 4:27 PM | yeah that's interesting...cause who really knows the whole truth?? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:27 PM | no one |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:28 PM | do you think it's possible to come close? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:28 PM | how do you think it would be possible to know the whole truth? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:28 PM | yes but not exat |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:28 PM | there is alwase |
| kristins | 3/4 4:29 PM | like...do you think you would have known what really happened to Phillip if you had been in the class? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:29 PM | some one leaft out |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:29 PM | why do you think it was left out? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:29 PM | it's just hard to hear everyone, is that it? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:30 PM | yse |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:30 PM | I agree. But it's worth a shot. |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:30 PM | It was worth that teacher's job |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:31 PM | i was mad that she was going ot lose her job becasue if it |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:31 PM | she retired thou |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:31 PM | i didn't think she deserved it |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:31 PM | the whole country hated her at that point. she didn't have much choice... |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:31 PM | she moved to florida\ |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:31 PM | but she didn't want to |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:31 PM | true, but do you think that she would have retired if the whole thing had not happened? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:31 PM | yeah isn't it crazy how the whole thing blew up into a national headline?? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:32 PM | no/yes she eventualy would heve she even said she would |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:32 PM | the didn't even get it rite |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:32 PM | yeah, eventually she would have, everyone has to retire eventually |
| kristins | 3/4 4:33 PM | haha yeah that's true |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:33 PM | many teachers don't have to retire until they become senile though... |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:33 PM | why do you think that the school asked her to take time off? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:33 PM | haha, true |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:33 PM | it's one of the joys. |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:33 PM | so the hole thoing would die down\ |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:34 PM | do you think that she did anything wrong in this situation? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:34 PM | yes i agree...they just wanted it to blow over or something |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:34 PM | do you think her community would accept her when she came back? the parents were pretty upset. |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:35 PM | they emight not have but ther is alwase a chance |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:35 PM | Do you think that the community was owed an appology? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:35 PM | do you think that would have set things right? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:36 PM | or would the whole thing have just blown over and been forgotten by the next fall? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:36 PM | posibly |
| kristins | 3/4 4:37 PM | i was wondering what you thought about the media's role in this whole thing? how did Phillip's situation get turned into such a big deal? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:37 PM | did any one notice the way the budget tied in to the whole thing |
| kristins | 3/4 4:37 PM | oh yeah....that's a great point! |
| kristins | 3/4 4:37 PM | what do you think about that? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:38 PM | they said he was supendied for singing the NA |
| kristins | 3/4 4:38 PM | the media? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:39 PM | what does that have to do with the budget? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:39 PM | How do you feel that the budget was tied into the plot of the story dealing with Philip getting suspended and Miss Narwin taking time off? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:40 PM | the teachers said the didn't nead the negative exposuer |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:41 PM | true |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:41 PM | So you think the publicity forced the budget to be rejected? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:41 PM | yes |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:42 PM | What do you think the school could have done to help get their budget approved even with the negative publicity? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:42 PM | i dont know |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:43 PM | What did Miss Narwin do? or try to do? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:43 PM | do you think that the school did a good job of trying to find out what really happenes? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:44 PM | she tryed to avoid losing philp all togehter she tryed to keep him in school and in her class |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:44 PM | the school tryed |
| kristins | 3/4 4:44 PM | do you think that it was ok for the guy that was running for school board to use Phillip's story in his campaign? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:44 PM | She did something else at the end with the reporter... |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:47 PM | he used his story to try to gain a foot hold in the boards minds and adress a subject with a impact |
| kristins | 3/4 4:47 PM | yeah i thought so too!! do you think that this happens in real life often? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:47 PM | yes |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:48 PM | yeah, i agree |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:48 PM | narwin tryed to get her story in |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:48 PM | the paper |
| kristins | 3/4 4:48 PM | why do you think no one paid much attention to her story? |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:48 PM | exactly. if her story had been told, do you think she would have been viewed in the same light? |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:48 PM | do you think people would have cared the same? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:49 PM | because phillipu's story was first |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:50 PM | and if they had told her story there would have a whole nother story |
| kristins | 3/4 4:50 PM | yeah that is so true...and how do you know which one was right? |
| kristins | 3/4 4:51 PM | when i was reading the book i kept thinking about how it was called "nothing but the truth" and those are the words that they say in court when they ask you to swear to the truth |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:51 PM | yeah, i thought about that too |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:52 PM | narwin was more acurit than the bomb that phillip's was and involved the acused and gave her side of the storu |
| kristins | 3/4 4:52 PM | so you think that mrs. narwin's version of the truth was closer to the real truth? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:53 PM | yes |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:53 PM | why do you think that the newspaper never reported narmin's side of the story? |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:54 PM | because they hardly even talked to philp |
| BradenR | 3/4 4:54 PM | break time |
| kristins | 3/4 4:54 PM | oh i see |
| vbixby | 3/4 4:54 PM | ok, talk to you in a few minutes |
| kristins | 3/4 4:54 PM | yep...talk to you in a few! |
| jcompton | 3/4 4:54 PM | enjoy your break |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:00 PM | have a nice break? |
| kristins | 3/4 5:00 PM | hey meet us in room one!!! |
| sallys | 3/4 5:01 PM | Hello! |
| michellec | 3/4 5:01 PM | hi |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:01 PM | hello |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:01 PM | Hi :) |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:01 PM | We have some newcomers! Hello |
| kristins | 3/4 5:01 PM | hi! |
| tlink | 3/4 5:01 PM | Hi, I'm T.J. :o) |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:01 PM | I'm Jackie |
| sallys | 3/4 5:02 PM | I'm Sally |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:02 PM | i'm veronica |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:02 PM | what kinds of texts show up in this novel? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:03 PM | i think the radio show was really interestin |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:03 PM | i think so too |
| sallys | 3/4 5:03 PM | But very off the truth |
| michellec | 3/4 5:03 PM | did you think that using it in the book was a good thing |
| tlink | 3/4 5:04 PM | why do you think it's "off the truth?" |
| tlink | 3/4 5:04 PM | yea...what purpose does this show even have? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:04 PM | Because they didn't tell exactly what ACTUALLY happened |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:04 PM | hey |
| kristins | 3/4 5:04 PM | hey braden! |
| sallys | 3/4 5:04 PM | where were you? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:04 PM | i'm back |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:04 PM | welcome |
| tlink | 3/4 5:04 PM | well good :o) |
| michellec | 3/4 5:04 PM | so they told their version of the truth |
| michellec | 3/4 5:04 PM | hi braden |
| sallys | 3/4 5:05 PM | But it was the wrong version! |
| michellec | 3/4 5:05 PM | but they can tell the wrong version, can't they? |
| tlink | 3/4 5:05 PM | that's all they knew about! |
| sallys | 3/4 5:05 PM | In a matter of speaking |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:05 PM | what |
| kristins | 3/4 5:06 PM | what do you mean by that? how can there be a wrong version of the TRUTH? |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:06 PM | We're talking about the radio talk show that appears in the novel |
| michellec | 3/4 5:06 PM | but everyone has freedom of speech |
| michellec | 3/4 5:06 PM | and if you think it is the truth, you can tell it |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:06 PM | why do you think that Avi put the radio show in the book? |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:06 PM | I think the truth depends on the person, everyone has a different version |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:06 PM | truth is a blind concept in our imagination |
| kristins | 3/4 5:06 PM | yeah i agree! |
| michellec | 3/4 5:06 PM | i agree with you mary |
| sallys | 3/4 5:06 PM | yes, that is true |
| tlink | 3/4 5:06 PM | right, i mean i know that i've told things that aren't true, but it's just what I herad, and I THOUGHT It was true |
| sallys | 3/4 5:07 PM | well, yeah |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:07 PM | so it's possible to lie without even knowing it |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:07 PM | truth is nothing |
| kristins | 3/4 5:07 PM | why do you say truth is a blind concept? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:07 PM | do you think all radio shows are like this...meaning that they create some sort of exagerated sensation? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:07 PM | Braden, what do you mean 'Truth is nothing?" |
| michellec | 3/4 5:07 PM | i like what you said braden |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:08 PM | ther is alwase a difrent party involved and you never have the the "truth" |
| michellec | 3/4 5:08 PM | i agree |
| sallys | 3/4 5:08 PM | good point |
| sallys | 3/4 5:08 PM | good point |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:08 PM | thats good point? |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:08 PM | sorry, that was not a question |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:08 PM | k |
| kristins | 3/4 5:08 PM | haha |
| michellec | 3/4 5:08 PM | gotcha |
| sallys | 3/4 5:08 PM | lol |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:08 PM | lol\ |
| tlink | 3/4 5:09 PM | so do you think that both parties have the "truth" |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:09 PM | can our imagination achieve or reach the truth then? |
| tlink | 3/4 5:09 PM | they're just different truths, b/c they're from their own perspectives? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:09 PM | not the whole truth |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:09 PM | there were more than two parties |
| michellec | 3/4 5:09 PM | but who tells the "whole truth?" |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:09 PM | there was a whole class |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:09 PM | I wonder if Philip thought that he was telling the whole truth, do you think he realized that he was stretching the story? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:09 PM | I guess there is no such thing as a "whole truth' |
| sallys | 3/4 5:09 PM | "( |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:09 PM | do you think that the DJ of the radio show really cared what happened? why did he make such a big deal about it? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:09 PM | "* |
| sallys | 3/4 5:10 PM | Probably so he could get a lot of people to call in |
| michellec | 3/4 5:10 PM | to get more listners of course |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:10 PM | thats what i think |
| kristins | 3/4 5:10 PM | and why would he want to get more listeners? what does that do for him? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:10 PM | and as time goes memry faids and worps and what happend mixxes with what you think happens |
| sallys | 3/4 5:10 PM | I feel sorry for Phillip, having to be caught in the middle of all that |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:10 PM | yea me tow |
| tlink | 3/4 5:10 PM | do you think though that he was just a patriotic person? maybe he encourages his family to sing the anthem? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:10 PM | do you- braden or sally- listen to radio shows that do this kind of thing...exaggerate? |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:11 PM | I feel sorry for him but at the same time, he could have fixed it easily by being completely honest about the situation, especially to his parents |
| tlink | 3/4 5:11 PM | i agree braden..iknow sometimes, esp. if we make a mistake or something, we try so hard to forget about it...it actuallydoes...does that make sense? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:11 PM | I don't listen to the radio very much |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:11 PM | i lisen to npr |
| michellec | 3/4 5:11 PM | wow |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:11 PM | i listen to that too |
| kristins | 3/4 5:11 PM | oh really? are there shows on npr that depict the news this way? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:11 PM | kul |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:12 PM | kewl |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:12 PM | so you know a lot about what s going on in the world don't you |
| sallys | 3/4 5:12 PM | who does? |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:12 PM | Braden... for listening to NPR |
| sallys | 3/4 5:12 PM | ah |
| sallys | 3/4 5:12 PM | okay |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:12 PM | i know just a little like i said earler there is alwase a nother side |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:13 PM | do you tihnk that what you hear on npr is always true? or any news on the radio, tv, or papers |
| sallys | 3/4 5:13 PM | not always |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:13 PM | or is it always just one person's side? |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:13 PM | who decides what is said on the news? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:13 PM | so you can tell when someone exaggerates? |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:13 PM | the media has been accused of always being liberal and chosing to depict ony that side of each situation |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:13 PM | not quite |
| sallys | 3/4 5:13 PM | once in a while, but not always, especially when you don't hear the whole truth |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:13 PM | true |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:13 PM | true |
| michellec | 3/4 5:14 PM | do you think the media is political? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:14 PM | yes |
| kristins | 3/4 5:14 PM | how so? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:14 PM | yeah, around election year |
| sallys | 3/4 5:14 PM | like now, for example |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:14 PM | the media alwase effects the way we think |
| michellec | 3/4 5:14 PM | yeah |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:14 PM | do you think that in germany during the holocost in world war 2
that the people there heard what was really going on? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:15 PM | i've seen a lot of it recently |
| sallys | 3/4 5:15 PM | Not exactly what was going on |
| kristins | 3/4 5:15 PM | that's a very interesting point....do you think we are getting "spinned" right now? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:15 PM | it will only get worse or better (if you like to laugh at it like me) until november |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:15 PM | just the choice of what stories to put on the news makes is biased from the beginning |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:15 PM | which makes it political |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:15 PM | this is very true |
| sallys | 3/4 5:16 PM | very very true |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:16 PM | braden how are you confused? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:16 PM | yea |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:17 PM | dr groenke said someone did the impossible to you- they confused you |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:17 PM | :) |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:17 PM | they |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:17 PM | did |
| sallys | 3/4 5:17 PM | lo |

| BradenR | 3/4 5:17 PM | questions at once |
| michellec | 3/4 5:18 PM | sorry |
| kristins | 3/4 5:18 PM | ohhh yeah..that is confusing |
| tlink | 3/4 5:18 PM | oh sorry...we'll calm downa little |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:18 PM | haha, yeah that would be confusing |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:18 PM | it is |
| sallys | 3/4 5:18 PM | Everybody take a deep breath and relax |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:18 PM | haha |
| michellec | 3/4 5:18 PM | lol |
| tlink | 3/4 5:18 PM | haha, will do |
| MaryF | 3/4 5:18 PM | haha |
| michellec | 3/4 5:18 PM | braden...do you like your history classes? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:19 PM | yes |
| kristins | 3/4 5:19 PM | well hey...let's go back to the radio show....how do you all think that the radio show affected phillips story? |
| sallys | 3/4 5:19 PM | we aren't taking History this year |
| sallys | 3/4 5:19 PM | We're taking Civis...blech... |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:19 PM | we take civics in 8th |
| michellec | 3/4 5:19 PM | civics |
| sallys | 3/4 5:19 PM | yeah, anyway, back to the story |
| michellec | 3/4 5:19 PM | government |
| michellec | 3/4 5:19 PM | sorry |
| michellec | 3/4 5:20 PM | distracted once again |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:20 PM | same |
| sallys | 3/4 5:20 PM | *off in lala land* Huhwha? |
| kristins | 3/4 5:20 PM | hahaha |
| sallys | 3/4 5:20 PM | The radio show helped get the story circulating |
| tlink | 3/4 5:20 PM | i wonder if phillip liked heraing his story, or do you think he felt like it had gotten out of hand |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:20 PM | What do you think the radio talk show did to the story? Did it bring in other aspects or characters? |
| tlink | 3/4 5:20 PM | b/c the radio definitely took his side, so iwonder if that encouraged him a little |
| michellec | 3/4 5:20 PM | in my mind, i don't think he liked it |
| sallys | 3/4 5:21 PM | He probably felt glad for all the attention, but I think he got a little overwhelmed later on |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:21 PM | i bet he felt guilty when he got all those letters and stuff |
| michellec | 3/4 5:21 PM | i don't think being on the radio like that was what he expected |
| tlink | 3/4 5:21 PM | that's what i think too |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:21 PM | he relly didn't get why it was a big deal |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:21 PM | He didn't seem to understand the magnitude of the telegrams he received |
| michellec | 3/4 5:21 PM | yeah, he had people from all over the country writing him in support |
| kristins | 3/4 5:21 PM | do you guys think he was really humming to be patriotic? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:21 PM | but i don't think he knew or understood what they were supporting |
| michellec | 3/4 5:22 PM | no |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:22 PM | yea |
| sallys | 3/4 5:22 PM | maybe it was just a habit |
| kristins | 3/4 5:22 PM | really |
| kristins | 3/4 5:22 PM | ? |
| michellec | 3/4 5:22 PM | definitely not to be patriotic |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:22 PM | thats rite |
| michellec | 3/4 5:22 PM | he was being a kid and making noise to annoy narwin |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:22 PM | yep |
| tlink | 3/4 5:22 PM | i think it was exaggerated to get attention, and get switchd out of her class, and he'd try whatever worked |
| sallys | 3/4 5:22 PM | not the first time, but he was the second time |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:22 PM | he just wanted the teacher to get mad |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:22 PM | well i guess he did make her mad |
| sallys | 3/4 5:23 PM | She did ask him to stop several times |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:23 PM | he did |
| kristins | 3/4 5:23 PM | yeah...why did he want to make her mad? did he have a grudge? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:23 PM | yes she failed him |
| sallys | 3/4 5:23 PM | she did flunk him in english, so he couldn't get on the track team |
| kristins | 3/4 5:23 PM | and then all of this hooplah happened |
| kristins | 3/4 5:23 PM | isn't it crazy? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:24 PM | but they oferd him extra woork |
| sallys | 3/4 5:24 PM | heh, yeah |
| michellec | 3/4 5:24 PM | he didn't flunk, he got a d |
| michellec | 3/4 5:24 PM | that's passing |
| tlink | 3/4 5:24 PM | she didn't "flunk"...i think he failed his own self! he could have tried harder! |
| sallys | 3/4 5:24 PM | But he had to get a c to get on the track team |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:24 PM | that cept him off the team\ |
| tlink | 3/4 5:24 PM | right |
| michellec | 3/4 5:24 PM | true |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:24 PM | but maybe at his school that still ment that he could not run track |
| tlink | 3/4 5:24 PM | yea... i think in my school it was a C avg. too |
| kristins | 3/4 5:24 PM | exactly....and that is what really was the issue...he loved track! |
| michellec | 3/4 5:25 PM | shouldn't he have known that he needed a c and should have tried harder? |
| tlink | 3/4 5:25 PM | oh yes...that's what motivated everything! |
| tlink | 3/4 5:25 PM | he said he wasn't aware... |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:25 PM | our is a C avrage |
| michellec | 3/4 5:25 PM | ours was too when i was in high school |
| sallys | 3/4 5:25 PM | Even if he wasnt aware, he still couldn't be on the track team. |
| tlink | 3/4 5:25 PM | but instead of him asking for help, he just was going to do anything to get out of her class |
| michellec | 3/4 5:25 PM | why? |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:25 PM | but she even said he derseved a C |
| sallys | 3/4 5:25 PM | The coach couldn't make exceptions 'just because' |
| tlink | 3/4 5:25 PM | right... ignorance doens't always help, like i'f u're speeding down a highway, just b/c u didn't KNOW, u'd still get a ticket |
| jcompton | 3/4 5:26 PM | if he had thought about the choice of accepting more work or being rebellious, he could have raised his grade and gottten on the track team by asking for extra work |
| michellec | 3/4 5:26 PM | i think it's time to go |
| BradenR | 3/4 5:26 PM | but decided to give him a D because he didn't try |
| vbixby | 3/4 5:26 PM | this was interesting |
