[quote=Anonymous]11:37: Why yes, there is! It's one of the most popular clubs. Another thing that students at GDS must learn to do is to control their eating habits and not eat baked goods every day  :) .

11:29: With regard to the "text-speak," I assure you, whichever senior wrote that message knows very well how to argue. The entire first semester of Junior year English is devoted to argument. We look at controversial issues like capital punishment, pornography, and PGD, and analyze important documents in U.S. History such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail, and Civil Disobedience by Thoreau. Perhaps he didn't use the best grammar, but he argued his point quite well. What's are you trying to say? This is the DCUM forum, not an English assignment! With regard to the teachers at other schools, perhaps the poster is exaggerating; however, his argument is rooted in truth. Maybe the teachers didn't laugh, but they were certainly taken aback. Meeting with teachers is not a norm at other schools, whereas NOT meeting with teachers is frowned upon at GDS. GDS teachers care, and want to engage their students. Anyway, not sure what you're getting at here.

P.S. Did you notice how I just questioned someone that is probably twice my age? We're taught to do that at GDS too  :wink:
