A student survey recently found that nearly two-thirds of students spent 15 hours or fewer per week doing coursework, and about 20 percent of both freshmen and seniors claimed to spend fewer than five hours per week. —Computer virus eat your term paper? You’re not alone (Bellingham Herald/AP)

You know, I can’t say that I haven’t thought about the time teachers spend correcting things :^)
Of course, Karissa… the survey says that 1/3 of students spend more than 15 hours a week doing homework, and I bet that someone who can manage time well enough to blog as much as you do is definitely amont those who can always manage to find time to do homework! There are some times when I can almost belive that I spend more time marking assignments than the student spent writing it, but you’re definitely not in that category!
This is appalling to me, but remember that there are exceptions to every rule.
