Ernesto: Peter! Have you heard the latest outrage? Ernesto: Instead of letter grades, we'll be receiving grades in the form of emoticons! Ernesto: Join me in protesting this base travesty! Carry a sign and put a bag over your head! Ernesto: Our academic futures, our human dignity, depend on it! Petey: I'll be glad when it's summer and I can give my imagination a rest.

Yes, Petey, give imaginary Ernesto a rest. And, if he’s not imaginary, then go get a comfortable paper bag….

Don’t know if they still do it but way back in the last century 1st grade teachers drew smiley, sad & straight line faces on our work. A foreshadowing of times to come. Sure shows how important and influential those teachers are.

I actually wouldn’t mind being graded by emoticons. At least maybe then I’d see evidence of some remorse on the teacher’s part for failing me.

I’m sorry, Petey! I believe Ernesto does indeed exist!
