| Write "This is Sparta!" on your essays facebook group
It is a form of civil disobedience / rebellion against the system, I think. That's how I view it. If you cross it out you won't be penalised for it. | |

| Who says they are?
As someone who is not currently a student, I have found the information here informative, and have frequently traded information that I have in kind.
But I have generally avoided sharing that kind of personal information, for exactly the reasons in this posting above.
You'll be a lot happier in the long run when you realize your parents are just people, too.
(Is it wrong that I suggested to my students to write in "This is Sparta!" at the bottom of question 6 on the AP Calc AB FR? I was amused.) | |

| im not directing anything at you mathprof, but in general most of the parents that post on cc care more about their childrens success than the kids do. theyre the parents that control everything about their kids lives and make sure they get into the top schools by directing every step of their lives. the kids who post here, on the other hand, are the self-motivated ones who are independent. im sorry but a parent who goes on cc and posts that "my daughter wrote this is sparta on her exam, did anyone else?" is seriously needs to get her own life | |

| hey just wondering..."this is sparta" doesn't have any negative, ahem sexual, connotations does it? cuz i did it on ap lit, and then i chickened out and got paranoid and stopped doing in for apush b/c while it's great being rebellious, i don't want to be disrespectful and inappropriate. and i just realized how bad it would be to write something a million times that i didn't know the meaning of only to realized i'd been saying something nasty all along. | |

| I take it you haven't seen the film.
Neither have I. But I was fascinated with Spartan culture way before the film came out. | |

| Hey, now. /b/ invasions are no joke. As a bit of an RIer on GameFAQs, I know all too well that kind of nonsense, which is why I refused to participate.
As an act of rebellion against the Spartan nonsense, I rickrolled in AP Lit, and one of my Stats FRs ended up with... Ho: Carriers != Massive Win.
Ha: Carriers = Instant Win.
p = OVER 9000!
Since p > 0.05, accept Ho, and as such, I fission mailed this exam.
Along with something that may have resembled the right answer.
Yep, GameFAQer. Here's proof of what I did.
EDIT: Durnit, wrong URL. It's fixed now.
So going to do the OBJECTION!! for AP Chem or EnviroSci.

| There definitely should be a limit to how involved parents should be in the college admissions process (no offense to any parents on here). The transition from HS to college is also a transition to a greater level of independence. While parents do want the best for their kids, they often don't realize that the best for their kids is what their kids want. Of course, that doesn't mean that going straight into the workforce is the best thing, but if a kid wants to go to the local university instead of an Ivy League, by all means let him and don't push him to do something that he doesn't want. | |
