Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 18, 2013

There are other websites that are reliable, Holly. Don’t make your mom suffer for your poor work habits.

she spends more time trying to figure a way out of doing the work than it would take to just do it and be done.

Come on Holly, I am taking on-line studies and not saying you should, and I use Interenet a lot to understand subject matter. Even youtube video’s.Your just trying to delay the work.

I wish I’d had the internet when I was in school. Sure would’ve made things a lot simpler.

yes the idea that parents should drop everything because it’s school related makes a bad example of a childs responsibility to their own education.

you can get to your library via THEIR website, no need to even walk in the door. And almost all the other libraries in the world.

I agree with lightenup. There are other choices online besides Wikipedia. My local library’s website has online articles and books.

Agreed. My mother in her PJ’s means almost everything is closed. (Though if Mom works in Library you can sneak in during off hours is she’s got the key. But if your wanting to do such things most likely your report is closer to done at this point. )

I’ve never used Wikipedia as a resource to write a paper in my life…

I wonder what the research paper is in? The complete hiatory on ancient rome? Whaling compared to Moby Dick and real life?

Looks like Val is getting her drink on, so she is doing the right thing by not driving.

Try Google Books©, Holly — very reliable…

There is lots more to use on the internet than Wikipedia…

Wikipedia is a good place to start your research in that it can point you to other sources. The articles are supposed to all be sourced, though some are better than others in that regard. Besides, the various search engines, if used diligently and intelligently (I know—that leaves Holly out) can turn up all sorts of other pages for you to look at.

A glass of wine, a good book AND warm pj’s? Good night Holly!

Have you ever heard of “dogpile” and “google”, Holly?

SCREW School Homework!!Children spent the better part of the day in school, now just let them have the other part all to themselves!!
