No Homework at Texas School? Tell It to the Judge HOUSTON (Reuters) - The parents of students at a Houston middle school who tell teachers the dog ate their homework or the cat ripped it up are getting an unusual response: tell it to the judge. At Houston's North Shore Middle School, the parents of students who habitually fail to complete their homework and miss a mandatory afterschool program are being summoned to court, school officials said on Thursday. The school this week issued 48 misdemeanor criminal citations, similar in severity to a traffic ticket, to those students' parents. The tickets, which could have yielded a fine of up to $185, required parents to appear on Wednesday before Harris County Justice of the Peace Mike Parrott. Parrott did not fine anyone, but used the session to set an example and explain the importance of finishing schoolwork, he said.
The other thread only had like two replies anyway. Kind of a sad statement about our educational/disciplinary priorities... .......so, what's your favorite slasher movie?
Allright, a successful tangent hijacking! Boy are the guys gonna be surprised when they open this baby up. You can't go wrong with Mike Myers. I love the all the Fridays & NOEs (even Jason X ). Can't wait for Freddy vs. Jason!
It's currently in post-production and slated for a June 2003 release. www.fridaythe13thforum.com has plenty of info in the threads there with ample spoiler warnings if you're interested.
Finn*- is that the shooting script? There were a bunch of unused ones from what I've read. Nevertheless, you rock!!!
