Thats a start but they need to get to the kids heart and soul-his CELL PHONE.
I'm sure after snivelling a bit that kid got on his cell phone and started texting and playin games.

Fully agree. When I was a lad, if I wanted to talk to my pals I would put my shoes on, go outside and walk to their house. That concept is foreign to most kids these days.

It boggles my mind that no parents exist that realize taking a cell phone to school a bad idea.  Yes lets give them the largest distraction possible so they can do really well academically.
"Oh but my kid has straight A's!!"
Yes thats because her and her friends are all texting each other the answers and looking stuff up on the internet you dolt.  Then at lunch they instigate a fight so they can film it and put it up on world star.

You dolts.

I've seen a lot of these straight A students.  You seem em before school all clustered in a group copying the answers off one person's paper.

Yeah, I remember a friend having this for one Christmas. We thought it was pretty cool but I didn't get one. My mom said I would make a mess with it. Oh well....

Ahh memories.

My family wasn't rich by any means but I can not recall ever being unhappy at christmas as a kid. I did not like socks and underwear but who does?  Actually, now I will be happy to get new socks and underwear...

If only mom realized the goop is considered precious by kids and very carefully doled out onto the slab things.

I remember getting the newer version of this as a kid and than it was wither my mother or grandmother gave me my fathers original one and was thrilled because I now had double the bugs.
