[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school should not start before 8 am. 
Follow the science, people![/quote]

College classes start at 8 am. How do you expect high schoolers to be preppy for that if they’ve never had to do that before?[/quote]

Tell them not to sign up for 8 am classes. [/quote]

Right. Because that’s always an option. You people are unserious.[/quote]

No, you're just stuck in 1960. I work in higher ed. [b]It basically is ALWAYS an option. [/b]If it isn't, the kid will figure it out and make it work. They don't need four years of "prepping" to potentially wake up for a class that might not ever happen for them. You are an "unserious" person. [/quote]

This is where the poster claimed taking an 8 is “always an option.” They then immediately contradict themselves by say “if it isn’t…” so I don’t get what the point capitalizing “ALWAYS” as an absolute declarative, but that where the PP made the claim you all insist didn’t happen.[/quote]

DP (am I 4th? the 12th?)  Again, I'm afraid you cannot read. The world "basically" was used...not to mean every class. Basically literally means "for the most part". I'd think a UMD graduate would know this but....Stop posting. You're just constantly embarrassing yourself. [/quote]
Basically is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that reach of logic, especially since ALWAYS was capitalized to emphasize the absolute.

Almost always or often would have been accurate and a better way of making that argument, if that was the PP’s. My UMD English 101 professor would have marked off points if I wrote “basically always” when I meant “almost always” or “often.” I guess your English professor didn’t emphasize clarity and consistency in writing and logic.

Furthermore, it was a stupid point cause I never even argued that it happened often. Just that it did happen and was a situation could happen to many college students as it did to me and still happens to others today.[/quote]
