I might be oversimplifying this but I don't believe Chris would've accepted any kind of guidance. He never accepted constructive criticism before, why would he do it then?

To me, it looks like the essay was corrected in the way all essays are corrected for NORMAL sutdents. You are right when you say Chris is no normal student, and I guess adaptations of the task should've been made in his case by the teacher, such as, I dunno, more explicit, concrete indications and such. However, the teacher has no obligation to make those adaptations if he/she isn't provided with a certificate that states Ricardo is a slow-in-the-mind. This makes me wonder if such a certificate was ever provided to the school/teachers, but that's a problem for another thread, I think.

Skyraider's documents make it seem like Chris was in some kind of halfway home between mainstreaming and special ed. It's becoming clear to me that if Chris was actually being mainstreamed, his fat ass would have been flunked so often he'd still be at Manchester today. I believe he did actually make Honor Roll (for at least one mark period), but only because he was treated with kid gloves in retard-centric classes by underpaid teachers who wanted little to do with this mouthy, antagonistic brat.

This seems EXTREMELY similar to how the CWCki describes Chris's attitude towards autism. He stresses the "high-functioning" when he demands praise, and the "autistic" when he demands pity. In high school, he could shout "I'm mainstreamed!" when he was self-conscious about being a slow-in-the-mind, but focus on his special needs and struggles when he got the grades he richly deserved.

Oh, sorry! I may be mistaken since I don't speak much Spanish, but I thought "trabajos" was the word for "work"
as in "physical labor/something you do as a
job".

No, you're right. The word he should be using (in Spanish class, not English) is actually a cognate. Bibliografia

By the way, let's all make note of the fact that Chris offhandedly called the entire nation of Japan barbarians.

"The Japanese were a Bunch of JERKS for taking all the Chinese Territory for themselves and leaving None to Share. This SHATTERED the Heart of the Chinese People Down to 15%."

You're right, I'd totally forgotten about that for some reason. That's why I said the word "trabajos" was out of context there.
 
When people say "Chris got worse after high school" we can all point to this and say "no, not really."
 
I think Skyraider's username should actually be Chris's-highschool-homework-raider.
 
So much I want to say and reply to that it's just too much, so I'll put it here:
1) Seriously? Using Spanish? Really? What the literal fuck?
2) Love this teacher for putting a smack down, words like "weak", "doesn't make sense", and "wrong format" are stuff Chris needs to hear more of.
3) The "Chris" of my school did a paper on the Spanish Influenza and called it "Spaniard Aids". He graduated with me, same year and everything.
4) How do people feel when ... Chris's... graduate with them? Well, for me at least, I just didn't care. Yeah, I was like "oh my fucking god, are you kidding me?(Name) didn't do shit. And the shit (name) did do was complete shit." but then my mom would look at me and say "(Name) doesn't have a bright future, let them have this one" And all was right with the world.
5) I wish to know the grade of this paper. It would not surprise me if it was a D, just so the teacher didn't have to fail him and risk having his ass in their classroom the next year.
 
As @skyraider91 mentioned, the images are on the CWCki. For those who don't read cursive, a transcription for this essay has also been slapped together, and there's a summary which collates some of the analysis that people offered here. I'm planning on transcribing the rest of the documents at some point too. (skyraider is leaking them faster than I can transcribe... but I'm WORKIN' on it! :twisted:)
 
As someone who has an interest in history and writing, this paper feels insulting to read. I can't believe he wrote this in 1999. He would have been a senior then. Every thing, from the incorrect citations to the inappropriate tone to the glossing over of numerous crucial events and people, just demonstrates Chris' shocking ineptitude and slothfulness. If he thought this was acceptable work for a senior to be turning in he must have been in a really bottom of the barrel remedial class.

You know, I have to hand it to Skyraider for bring this stuff to light. Chris' claims about being on the honor roll before this evidence arose seemed suspicious if not outright dubious. Now they're almost certainly false.

There were quite a few varieties of loser in my grade in high school. Not too many Chris's though, mostly egotistical athletes, obnoxious wiggers and some scene core idiots. Quite a few of them flunked out and no one really cared about the ones that graduated because they usually had unremarkable grades. I knew most of their futures were going to take place in either a McDonalds kitchen or in a cheap bottle of malt whiskey. I just accepted the fact that they weren't going anywhere in life and tried to ignore them.
 
Some things about this paper just don't make sense to me. He wrote a paper about a historical event for English class? And he sprinkled in some Spanish words like Ricardo Weston Chandler, Ingles, and Trabejos "Cited." I looked up what trabejos means, and it does mean work, but in the context of like a job. (I think. I don't really know Spanish)
I don't know about Chris' school, but at the schools I went to, whenever they wanted a paper with a bibliography. they showed us the format to use. Or did Chris not listen to his teacher's instructions? And his paper doesn't really fully explain the reasons that Japan and US went to war. I don't think this quality of writing would have cut it even in most 5th grade classes. Or maybe I went to really tough schools.

My take on it was that it was Chris' attempt at sounding smart by inserting Spanish when it wasn't needed.
 
As a person of partial Japanese descent whose relatives were affected by the Nagasaki bombing, fuck you, Chris.

I know you have autism, but shit...
