It's Sally's birthday tomorrow, but maybe she won't want to be reminded of
it.
If she were only ten years younger then she'd be a year younger tomorrow than
half as old as she'd be if she were only four years younger than three times
as old as her boy friend was when he was three years older than half as old
as she was on her last birthday.

Tell me how old Sally will be tomorrow!

must show work!...
 
its not homework... it was an extra credit question and we're allowed to ask anyone for help... it was due friday anyway... its no big deal...

The point of homework is to do work at home on your own ... :confused:

Not around here... the point of homework around here is just to annoy the hell outta us. Our homework has no purpose.

In most of my classes, one person does the work while the rest of us copy it, then someone else will do it for us to copy and so on. Makes life much easier.

If you all copy the work then nobody is going to learn anything.

Homework isn't meant to teach us anything. It's sole purpose is to waste our time. We learn from reading and studying the material, not from answering 10 pages of questions.

You might learn from it because its good practice.
 
No, I went to school in Maine too. I can vouch that it's pointless and doing it will come to no good. That can be said for much of the Maine public school system, though.
