    The patriot act is unconstitutional, and is therefore null and void.

      They threw it overboard because the Royal Governor of Boston refused to order the ships back to England *with* their cargo.

      I see you have suffered another sense of humor failure. Perhaps a nice cup of tea? :-)

        Yes, you retake the whole test. I see that as ensuring you didn't already forget the other stuff too. Another point is the teacher does move on after the test but it is up to the student to come in and get the help they need. I suppose if enough kids failed a given section they would hang back and bring everyone up but they don't stop for one or two kids. This makes the student more responsible for their own learning as well because it's up to them to get the help they need rather than wait for the teacher to cater to them.

        This will be very important when college comes. Is this a private or public school? Or some sort of public magnet school?

            we've gone ten years labeling every damned thing someone has done to the US as "terrorism". should be no surprise that the word's meaning has expanded to accommodate.

                  Public school. Small school though for a small community. Average graduating class I think is like 60-70 students. They also are a one to one school which means every kid gets a laptop they take home and are expected to take care of. Hence the online research. Caveat there being if they use Wikipedia they have to cite the source Wikipedia cited in the article causing them to eventually get to an "official" source.

                          Framing the Boston Tea Party as a terrorist act certainly runs counter to current cessesionist tendencies in Texas.

                                      You implied it by citing the "Patriot" Act with no modifiers that could be used to understand your viewpoint regarding its veracity.

                                        I wonder what color the feds use. Arizona uses pink. I think Texas uses orange.
