Arts and Crafts in pre-calculus ... and law school
JoAnne Jacobs has a depressing piece about make-work in high school:
My niece started her junior year at a highly rated California high school. For her honor pre-calculus class, she was assigned to do a collage about herself.
But it gets worse ... a commenter, Amber Taylor, says
"Our first assignment at Harvard Law School was to make a collage."Here's Amber's collage.
Ay caramba!
No judge that I know of requires collages in lieu of opening motions, briefs, and statements ... yet ... the students in Amber's class won't start becoming judges for a few years ...
Bailiff: All Rise, The United States District Court of the Southwestern District of Arizona is now in session, the honorable Homer Simpson presiding.Judge Simpson: Good morning. Before we can start what looks to be an interesting trial ... Bailiff, are there any more of those chocolate glazed donuts? Bring me a couple please ... Uh, where was I? Oh yes. Counsel, there is a preliminary matter that must be taken care of. You have failed to submit your opening collages. If you need help, please see Lisa or Maggie.
The perfect court case for opening collages ... or cartoons ... is COYOTE V. ACME PRODUCTS CORP.
Update: Prof. Reynolds, thanks for the link.
