I really like the idea.  To bad I really cant do that.  I agree with that last part.  My moms complaining knowledge is important! It will get you places! Ya spanish will get me places! The only places it will get me are places were I will get swine flu and DIE!!!!!  I can see the more important classes, yes but really, spanish?

    I stll can't help but find it a bit backwards, that they'll not allow you to use the PC but you're still able to play video games, which I doubt will get anybody... places.


    Regardless, I'm not sure why one would need to get an A in spanish anyway. if you hate the class a B+ is pretty *censored* good. I would probably use it to catch up on some zzz's, just like I used my math class to work on programming with my graphing calculator, which put me in the odd situation of actually knowing how to do the stuff we did with it by hand... like for example quadform.

    The only thing spanish, especially in north america, generally is useful for is as a second language for admission to a post secondary school.

    Next time she says "it will get you places" ask her to elaborate. "like where?"


    besides... it's not like you failed the class....

    she said "if you thin kwe are going to let you lie around and watch tv then your wrong"  I think I would still be able to play video games though.  And the thing you said its only use for: exactly why shes making me take it.  But do they really care if you get a b or an a? I dont think so.  I hate the class and I am bad at it so I think a b is really good too

      Heck, I have a 77% C- in the same class.  My parents just don't want it to be an F and they are fine.  Your parents are teaching you all wrong.  In four years you will move out and live far away like I am going to.

      My mom cant use a computer.  She didn't even know how to send an email until recently when someone told her where the send button is.  And she was buying something and it had 3 check boxes.  Like do you want us to tell you deals(my mom wasnt ever going to use it again) and keep you informed on other stuff like that.  She checked them all!  She didnt need it! She doesnt know anything about cmoputers.  Its so annoying.  I think my grandma knows more than her

        Then tell her politely that you getting an A in Spanish is likely as her becoming a web-site developer....
        Maybe that will make sense...

          Computeruler, visit these sites and let Mom see how the internet enhances your studies......She'll have no option but to allow you to continue your internet education.....who knows you might learn something, or enough to get you back online.

          http://www.studyspanish.com/tutorial.htm

          http://www.spanishprograms.com/

          Spanish has two uses ........

          1. Spanish will get you  hot dates with Latino chicks who are computer illiterate.

          2. Spanish will get you out of bad neighborhoods when you date the above mentioned Latino chicks.
