7. As an assignment in my 10th grade government class each student was
assigned a U.S. political figure at random, and we were to research
their views on a laundry list of issues-of-the-moment. The ultimate
goal was to use this information to write up a mock interview,
showcasing said figures standings in a realistic manner. Being that i
ended up with Jesse "The body" Ventura, I felt obligated to forego any
and all research. Instead I opted to write the most detailed and long
winded questions my 15 year old vernacular would allow, to which
Ventura would reply by quoting his various lines from "Predator".
Sadly my presentation of this masterpiece wasn't very well recieved. I
made it almost half way, when Venturas response of "I ain't got time
to bleed" regarding an abortion question proved enough for the teacher
to ask me to stop.

words was "Diurnal", I couldn't remember what it meant, so I wrote "2
guys pissing at the same time"
The extra credit was "A man is found dead with 53 bicycles around him.
How did he die?" I answered, "He cheated at poker, and was then
brutally raped and murdered by the mafia, drunks, clowns, and a
housewife."

I dunno, I've met a few Ivy Leagers who told similar stories.
They bust ass for a month on a term paper or thesis or whatever, get a B.
Throw together some crap 48 hours before due date, get an A.

EDIT:
Since I feel like ranting, I may as well go on.
I have managed to avoid the horror of college so far but I hear it?s a miserable experience, particularly if you know how to think.
Based on what I've learned from friends, college is mostly set up for the benefit of the staff. It?s a way for them to justify their existence and force their ideas on impressionable kids.
Ol' boys girlfriend from Six Feet Under summed up college professors quite well in an early episode of the 2nd season. But its been a while and I cant recall exactly what she said. I may have to go research that.
EDIT 2: Got it.
