<p>^obscure for most high school students who have never even really looked at the bible.</p>
<p>i remember one day my 10th grade teacher was like “the information on spark notes is crap, anyways…”. lol.</p>
<p>“Most kids aren’t going to be able to create a superior thesis without going to outside sources. And most kids are <em>never</em> going to come up with a novel interpretation of a major work. They’re just going to be restating ones that have already been made, and stating them less eloquently.”</p>
<p>my english teacher was actually talking about this right before we did a research paper, a few weeks ago. he said high school kids almost always just regurgitate ideas that are already out there, & we need to start moving away from that because in college we would get higher marks for original ideas :]</p>
<p>…which actually really bothers me because how the hell will i be able to write a 10+[or even a 5+]-page paper based on an idea that there is no outside information about or precedent for] -_-</p>
