Why does a person go to school? Most would say to learn. Yet, what is it that students do learn? At Adams Central each of the 472 students learns at one time or another: 1. How to make paper airplanes in Comp. 2. Never try to outtalk Mrs. Grove. 3. To buy Cliff ' s Notes when a class has to read a novel. 4. How not to get caught using a squirt gun in school. 5. How to gawk properly into other rooms. 6. Not to mess around with The Boys. 7. How to steal reflectors. 8. How to use meaningless chatter. 9. Not to be rowdy when a Ball State representative is sitting in on a class in an adjacent lecture area. 10. How to do senior math during physics. Of course, none of the aforementioned are what students are supposed to learn, such as the Twenty-fifth Amendment, the Dred Scot case, or the correct way to conjugate irregular verbs in a foreign language. However, most students do learn what they are supposed to, but, unfortunately, the mind of a student is like a can of Coke, since the contents of both are good only as long as they remain in their containers. When a student takes a test, his mind is like a can of Coke that ' s been consumed. It’s empty. Through¬ out the year the student goes through the same process--learn, take the test, for¬ get, learn, take the test, forget. So just as that empty can can be used again, the student can also be recycled. Recycled 2 MmH
