School is not what it used to be. No more writing things on your wrist or hiding things in the bathroom to check up on during an exam*, now it's all digitally scanning your own soft drink labels to replace nutritional information with formulas and blue tooth-ing your cell phone to create your own phone-a-friend opportunities.
[*Quick tangent -- it's not like I did these things. I may not be all Marilu Henner, but I do have a memory that won't quit, so I did pretty well when it comes to testing in school. Except maybe in senior year physics, on which I had basically given up after the first marking period. Instead, we all passed notes back and forth all class long and questioned whether the teacher was a spy who was hiding out a la witness protection teaching the poor kids of Lebanon about momentum and kinetics and such. I don't think we ever group cheated -- but if it happened, that would have been the setting.]
Except for maybe by the teachers, old school "testing aids", you are missed.
I CAN'T LIE ... I HAD TO LOOK UP BASIC PHYSICS QUESTIONS:
