<p>Gosh sorry in advance for sounding utterly cranky but I’m thinking this really sucks.</p>
<p>Should one be given ‘extra credit’ for something so completely uneducational? Aren’t you frustrated as a parent that this is the state of your kids’ education? Do we really have to wonder why American education is so weak on math and physics? And why American kids get to college and need their hand held, and expect particular grades just for showing up?</p>
<p>Now you might, just maybe, argue that at least someone here is rewarding creativity and we need more of that to compete in the new world order. But where is the creativity when you can just get your parents to pose a question to a bunch of adults and take their best idea as your own? What bare bit of tiny possible educational value has just been stolen.</p>
<p>So in the end, you get a better physics mark for copying someone else’s idea for a physics dessert. Just wow.</p>
