Left to my own devices...

As hinted at before, my teachers don't give me a lot of help for our classes. This varies in degree by teacher, but the end result is that I am responsible for class material. What does this lead to?
Let's see, in my English Life class we focus on slang and Survival Kit. Lessons have included "hog" as in "Who hogged the cookies?" "kosher," and next up is "freak out." My Cross Cultural Studies class featured subculture profiles. I am proud to say that my kids can now recognize punks, goths, jocks, geeks, and preps. This should enhance their American movie comprehension, so clearly it's truly valuable.
