Zack Hill by John Deering and John Newcombe for February 28, 2012

bad backs start young. let them all use the backpacks with wheels.

Instead of computers etc., the schools should provide each student with an e-book. No more back problems!

gransons elementary school uses I-touch and e readers in most classes instead of books and all homework is online for the ones that have access, and available in hard copy for the ones that don’t. his backpack is pretty much empty all the time.

the pyramids weren’t built by slaves. people were hired and paid to build them. even the grunt work of hauling the stones up the ramps was done mostly by paid labour. it was a way of employing people while the annual flood made the fields unworkable.

that’s a lot of homework!!

Do what I did – don’t do any homework. Pass or fail, a HS diploma is worthless. But not only did I pass, I was a top scholar.

As usual these children have problems with their backpack. At least Zack’s back at school.

When I was young the continents knew how to behave themselves. None of this flitting hither and yon helter-skelter and bumping into each other!

There’s no way the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. The average stone block weighed 1.2 tons. They didn’t have the tech or manpower to move hundreds of thousands of those stones.
