As much as I (we) will miss DGJ, we are already seeing an influx of articles that were going to be used in DGJ that will now be published in The Parker Pages. Our contributors make our job fun and educational. Too bad school was not the same way, maybe I wouldn't have HATED English class!!

IF it hadn't been for the various history and literature classes in HS I'd never have graduated . As I hated math and science

I was the opposite. Every time I'd miss the honor roll it was English that bit me. I hated it, especially the boring drivel they forced us to read. :barf:

I will add that my SR year I took General English instead of CP. That class was great. We would actually do interesting things like choose our own books to read and report on. We would read classic lit in class and we would each have a part, just like we were in a play. We did "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. I was Gregor Samsa and had a great time turning into a cockroach. Funny thing is maybe 20 years later we built a house for her and her husband. I was able to tell her how much I enjoyed her class.
