Laugh Out Loud and a Half! What a comeback. What a tragedy. What a vice-president. :roll:

Hey, at least you don't have to live with his riegn of terror. No, wait, we did that already. Hmmmm....name sugestions?
|
It doesn't need to be named. We all know what you mean anyway.
|
But the history students of the future won't. How about "Administration of horror"?
|
As a student of history, I say it is totally irrelevant about names. That being said, I am merely bitter about being made to memorize various Italian names, such as...Partito Nazionale Fascista.
What about "Pointless Throning of Administrative Errors"? ~~Lostoyannaya |

Okay, something else to add to the thread...um...another conversation with a student (same initial, but a different kid). (Sorry, most of my stuff is verbal communication rather than written.) Students were working on skits. C came up to me and said, "Okay, this is going to be a weird question, but which way is west in this room?" Me: (not wanting to take the time to figure out when the sun is where) "I have no idea, sorry." C: "Oh, that's okay. Wait - do you know which way is north?" |

Yes, at my school we were tought MLA and standard essay format back in fourth grade. I've been doing it since, off and on.

My system is similar
I'm in the Canadian Catholic School system (that does NOT mean I'm Catholic!), and it's different in some instances, but it's pretty much the same as every other North American system example: Quote:

What is MLA? I've never heard of it.

In our backward little English school, we do not use any heading. We hand in the piece of work and spend half of the next lesson helping the teacher figure out who's is who's. :D (Mine's always the one with the doodles). But...yeah...what is MLA heading? *Is curious* ~~Lostoyannaya |
Modern Language Association. It's one of two organizations that has established standards for formatting written work (among other things). The other is APA, American Psychological Association, which I *think* is used mainly for graduate work and beyond - MLA is used, in the US at least, as the standard for everything up to that point. (It's possible that there are certain fields of undergraduate work that require the use of APA rather than MLA, but the division I've experienced is what I've posted. Also, it sometimes depends on one's professors as to which format is expected.)
APA includes "American" in its title, so I'm assuming its use is restricted to the US. And since those of you who aren't from the US are indicating a lack of familiarity with MLA, I'm guessing the same about it. |
In science, we tend to write research papers and not essays, and the standards we follow vary from journal to journal. The American Chemical Society has a template, the Royal Society of Chemistry has a different template, and Elsevier has a third.

The title specifically involves:
Student Name Mr./Mrs./Ms Teacher'slastname Class Date of writting. (or is it due date? Don't remember.) |

So? You could lie. I don't, but you could, scum.

I could, but that would have required effort. |
Not really. Just put a different date.
