Burned Docs Japan WW2 Paper

[Gene Parmesan]

Probably a D-/D+ at best. But I really hope it was an F. Also, if it was for his English class then I have to ask:
1. Why did the teacher assign a History lesson?
2. Why did Chris use random Spanish in his "report"?

Devil's Advocate?

While significantly shorter than my assignment, I did have an English class where the point was to learn how to do a research paper. Topic and conclusion were irrelevant. It was exclusively format (note where the teacher's corrections are focused) and process.

I did mine on mind reading, bullshit? Sure, but I got to do loads of "research" and experiments (i.e. License to Skip class for myself and random test subject).

Nice, certainly more work than Chris at least (can't talk about myself though, since we have a different way of doing things where I live).

 

[Dr.Research]

For fucks sake.

I don't know anyone in high school who turned in hand written essays let alone double spaced hand written ones.

I love how Godbear awful the typed essay's format is. Although, I shit you not, when I was in my first college writing class a girl did use "Yuck!" as a sentence. That, and you'd be surprised how many people can't format for shit.

It's good to see the teacher at least made an attempt to actually correct and mark up the paper. Christ, the more I see of his school work the more I think he should have been in all special ed. classes.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

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.

He misspelled trabajar? Huh, didn't notice that. I shouldn't be surprised.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

And skipping every other line,

HONOR ROLL!

To be fair, double-spacing is standard of just about every framework a highschooler would be taught.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I think Chris probably had several papers due in different classes, and just wrote basically the same paper for every one, thinking he was being clever. And they let him get away with it because Borb.

I did that once, though certainly not for multiple classes in the same year. All I did was change a few words on an English paper and tune up the wording and I used it for a History class since the paper itself was about the Civil War or something, don't really remember outside of only even daring to try it because I'd written it originally in elementary, but reused it for my middle school days, and I figured the teachers wouldn't be able to figure out how I'd used the same paper twice.

If we're going to accept autism as his excuse to do all the stupid shit he does then wasn't the point of this forum? Let's all quit.

Well the argument is that it's not worth raging over, I for one come here for the laughs. It's not about 'excusing' what he does, it's about having the perspective to be able to laugh at what Chris does and not take it seriously or personally.

 

[CWCissey]

I really hope that the next leak is one that proves Fatty Dumb Dumb isn't autistic, now that would REALLY take the Oxygen out of his tank!

 

[Super Collie]

Sounds like he's trying to recite the Girl Scout pledge:

"On my honor, I will try
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout law"

It sounded more like the Boy Scout Oath to me, which is just as gay if not gayer.

I forgot my nickname for my foreign language classes, if I even had one.

I remember I made mine "Zorro Nubé" which was as close to "Fox McCloud" as I could get by swapping nouns around.

Good that the teacher criticized it too. I wonder what the final grade would've been. At any rate, I got a good chuckle out of this. It makes me feel better about my own papers.

Considering we've hypothesized that the assignment itself may have been more MLA-centric, and considering Chris botched every single instance of citing his work, the grade couldn't have possibly been good.

 

[XYZpdq]

Some random dead horse beating:

I'm firmly in the "it was an exercise in MLA formatting and similar crap" camp. I remember doing papers on pretty much any random crap for learning citations and that stuff.

I did the "name in the language" in German, French, and ASL. Only name I remember at all was ASL.

Grading criteria for passing is (in my experience) determined at a local level, and will vary from district-to-district if not even school-to-school.

And because I missed out

Spoiler: Random Spanish Time

QUE BOCHINCHE LA COMAY

 

[Marvin]

I mean really, when the hell is he going to leave the country anyway? So doesn't make the Spanish kinda pointless?

Heh, you don't need to leave the country to need to speak spanish.

 

[Chuggernaut]

Heh, you don't need to leave the country to need to speak spanish.

Having him learn Spanish was one of the few educational decisions for him that made sense. If he could ever get a job it would be menial labor, and being able to speak Spanish is a big plus there since, odds are, one or more of your coworkers will speak it as a first language.

Oh, I can see your point now. Sure, if anything Chris did affected me on a personal level I wouldn't be here poking fun at him in the first place! However, one can't help but facepalm pretty hard at the level of autism in this paper. I get that "goddammit, Chris" feeling every time.

 

[Drawets Rednaxela]

Wow, it's a wonder he got out of high school at all.

There's no way Chris would have graduated high school in any other country in the world. Not if this standerd of writing continued through to 10th grade.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

This essay just drives home how little Fatty understands the world around him. TV and Borb haven't been enough to give him even a rough grasp on adult life. He really needed those life skill classes he is so proud of not taking.

I read this paper to my dad, and he laughed quite a bit at it. Then I referenced my post of "what if he had written about WWI - 'because of the great depression tensions were high and Austria, Hungary, and Serbia all went to war'" and my dad added "Ulysses S. Grant stopped the war."

Also Hitler started that one too.

Oh my God, I know, it disturbs me so much that his English and Spanish names don't match! I mean, for Christopher there's Cristóbal, right? And for Christian, the equivalent would be Cristian (or Cristián, I think it exists), which is basically almost the same. The only possible explanation I can think of is that he picked another name, such as Ricardo, because of how similar Cristian is to Christian, it kind of defeats the purpose, but it's still highly unnerving, his name isn't Richard dammit. If it was a suggestion by the teacher, then I disagree with her. If it was his choice, or another student's, it's a poor choice but more understandable. I can't imagine who it was, though, since we don't do that kind of thing in ENGLISH classes. (Edit: I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY OWN LANGUAGE ANYMORE, RICARDO HAS ACTUALLY MADE ME LOSE KNOWLEDGE OF MY OWN MOTHER TONGUE.)

As a side note, what I meant is, I can see why you guys would be so excited about it but you knew the limits and you grew out of it. Retardo here obviously didn't, he took it really fucking seriously.

My spanish teacher named me alejandro since my spanish version was too close to my real one.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Heh, you don't need to leave the country to need to speak spanish.

But where he lives? I'm pretty sure the ratio between rednecks and Latinos there is a wide one.

 

[Marvin]

Near a big city? It'd definitely be useful. I myself live right by a latino neighborhood. (Heh, in fact, today my lunch and dinner is coming from food stands at a nearby latino festival.)
