TO MY OLD STUDENTS... And for the grade 10s, a clarification

Hi guys,

   This post is more directed toward my Grade 10s - While researching, I've learned that the DND (Canadian Department of National Defense) actually dropped the designation "101" from the Airborne unit. The event itself happened in 1994, and Wikipedia's a great start

You may want to look on Wikipedia for the Somalia Affair, which you can find here, and then use that as a basis for a search on Google.  Wikipedia has a good start on the article, but I warn you that there are one or two graphic pictures. Also, you may want to search for other sources, as I wouldn't trust Wikipedia more than I would, say, a rabid psychotic criminal with my ATM card. 

For my old students: Can you believe these new kids haven't even TRIED to bribe me yet?! Not ONE Dr. Pepper or Snickers has shown up at my desk. Not one. This includes from my OLD STUDENTS AS WELL! :P

Quick notes: Tea is still open for new or old students. Bring your own mugs, and preferably your own sugar/teabags, and you're welcome to a cup. Don't have sugar or teabags? Sure, you can borrow mine, but be fair and replenish the supplies from time to time. In winter, you'll be glad you did!

How come most of the homework and research that you have on this blog is directed to to the grade 10s? Everytime I check...and when some homework is supposed to be posted on your blog for the grade 9s, you forget it...you're not THAT old...

Max, if you are to leave messages on this blog, I suggest you strongly consider being more polite in leaving messages. I value politeness in my students, and if you would like me to reply to you, I recommend that you treat this site with a bit more respect.
With regards to your message - If there is nothing on the blog for you, then it is safe to assume that you do have no need to worry about homework.
