My parents aren't "illiterate", really. I guess they could be worse. They're comparable to towelies parents.
Anyhow, I finished it (again, pfft, right), and I need to feel like I've acomplished something, and just handing it in won't do that, so here:
@MyndFyre's save button comment: Boo, my system is stable enough, without parential interference, that I can leave unsaved files open for days, and I often do (such as notes I quickly type when I'm programming something, feel like saving, and do a week later).

Three Things I Would Change About BHS
Although I believe Baraboo High School is a wonderful place, there are a few things that I would change about it, such as lifting the rules against snowball fights, having longer lunch periods, and allowing detentions to be served during lunch.
First, I believe we should have snowball fights allowed on school grounds. They're a great way to burn off excess energy, and just plain fun. Of course, they would have to be supervised to stop any real fighting from happening, but this could create a great way for students to get rid of stress!
Second, I believe that we should be given longer lunch periods. This gives the students more time to visit with friends, and they would be less tempted to visit during class. That way, the small amount of class time cut to make lunch longer will be made up with the extra work students will accomplish during class by not talking.
Third and finally, detentions should be served during lunch instead of after school. This would cause less problems with attendance, as students will usually skip after school detentions to hang out with friends. Also, having detentions at lunch wouldn't interfere with family plans which could require rescheduling of either what the family was planning, or the detention, and would cause a lot less trouble for the parents and school administrators.
In conclusion, although Baraboo High School could use a few small changes here and there, its an enjoyable environment for learning, studying, and socializing.
