Well, back to the old grind. I probably should have warned that I wasn't going to post anything for over a month, but it's too late for that. Anyways, let's get started. I have never been a fan of English classes. I don't care for literature, language arts, or whatever clever name teachers can come up with to disguise it. I understand the point of elementary English, grammar, and vocabulary, but why do I need to know how to write a comparative essay about two novels? I can guarantee that I will never consider doing such a thing in my free time, nor will I choose a book to read based upon said essays. Let's get real. Make the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary classes mandatory, but leave the writing to those who enjoy sitting in front of a computer for 8+ hours straight typing. Most definitely not my favorite pastime.
