So i have the title of my essay, that's about it.[/quote]

the title of my rough draft is "diabetic fatties". my essay is about fat diabetic children. i plan on changing the title to something offensive for the final draft.


WHAT AM I DOING? I SHOULD BE TYPING MY ESSAY.

No Child Left Behind and Gifted Students

Signed by President Bush in 2002, the No Child Left Behind act is a program designed to help educate the less educated and to help them graduate from high school. By testing all students in grades three to eight annually, the program can find what aspects of education need the most improvement. An increase in test scores will results from more funding being provided to the schools to better educate the students. This increase in funding sometimes cuts away from the more gifted students. Is it possible that more gifted students are being neglected due to the No Child left Behind program?

The whole nation will receive over $23 billion to aid in education. Illinois alone cut $19 million in funding to its gifted children and California cut $10 million of its own budget. Connecticut, who doesn’t have funding for gifted programs, eliminated some of their gifted programs altogether.
"I believe we could do away with affirmative action [in college admissions] if the needs of these young, bright minority children are met at an early age," says Susan Rhodes, gifted-education coordinator in Springfield. "But No Child Left Behind leaves them behind, because it doesn't let us spend money on children already meeting the standards." (The Wall Street Journal Online)


This is what i got so far. Almost halfway done. It's due in a week though, i got plenty of time.

are you trying to say that more money should be spent on the gifted kids? if so it just seems a bit selfish of the gifted kids. if they're so gifted why do they need to take money used to help all the dumb kids?

haha the powers of mx, you guys are all junkies.

like you're one to talk.

Anyone got any ideas for a cool looking avatar just using my username and a background? I need a [B]cool[/B] avatar but its hard to work with just 70x70 pixel images.

I'm was bored and I managed to come up with these.

I think these all suck though and I need new ideas but have drawn a blank. I want an animated one but can't figure out how to do that.

I have Fireworks 2004. Please give me ideas or something. Or better yet design one for me lol.

IMO the first two are pretty sweet. I'm crap at art so I don't have any idea's for any better ones.

Haha people will think you like CB drums.

OmFg...I slept in my school uniform last night.>>?!

my spring break is awesome so far

Saturday, I played at a Battle of the Bands

Sunday, I see Vendetta with my best friend (Larry)

Tuesday, Larry buys a Game Cube, brings it over and we play FZero GX for an hour or two. Then we're invited to go to Sharis with other friends of ours at like 11 at night. While there, me, Larry, and our friend Nick decide to drive to the beach. We take a 2001 Land Rover, and get there at like 2:30 in the morning. This is also after getting pulled over for going 77 in a 55 mph zone

We run up a fricken huge sand dune, get worn out, run down like mad, go off-roading on several different beaches, watch the tide come in a little, then make it back home at 5:30, where we wash the car (to remove any trace of us taking the car on the beach, which we weren't supposted to). I crash at Larry's house, we wake up at noon, and we play GameCube constantly for 6 hours (we used to do this all the time when we were younger, but its been awhile), we get kicked off the TV by his parents, go to my house and play for several more hours, before he has to take off.

Man its been fun!

jezen, wtf?

I had a real bad dream too, but I just spent 20 mins on 'Conversations in Clave', so I can't remember what the dream was about...

Definitely can't have that. Those last two are out then.

go with the coca berry, but do something about the background

duplicate the label of a coke

Sounds good. I'll look into trying to find a better background for that. I already have the coke font as you can see so the rest shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks for your help.

I tried to but I can't. So I did these ones from scratch and they look like crap. 2 hours of my life wasted.

Damn.

I need someone to design a cool avatar for me. Anyone got graphics skills and time to waste? lol

Or I could just put the barking dog pic back as avatar. Everyone probably recognizes me by that anyway. That thing is just boring though. I gotta have something flashy or original.

im REALLY annoyed now...

i had a folder with every bit of drum music ive ever owned in it, and i left it in a concert

im a twat,

Hooo AHH!

I just listened to Lateralus over real speakers for the first time in a long time. Man these comp speakers suck all the tone from the drums. :(

One question - PDP CX or Tama Superstar?

I would say CX, but ive not worked extensively with both.


And good morning to you all.

Good Morning.

Even though its the Evening in Great Britain. Good Evening.
