Does money really make you happy?

5 responses

ElizabethM I do not think that money can make you happy. It may temporarily ease some financial burdens,but that does not cause happiness. Happiness is found with the people we love, and they can not be bought; friends that are bought tend to quickly fade away. If you...

ElizabethM I am not sure that I believe in ghosts as much as spirits. The house that we currently live in has a spirit that visits, occasionally now. It is the former owner, he has been seen briefly from our drive way,and makes his presence known. We used to have a radio...

I Hate New Year's Eve - so there!

cynthiann @cynthiann (18602) • Jamaica 29 Dec 09

Do you think our grades would raise if there was no such thing as homework?

musicxrules @musicxrules (143) • United States 21 Dec 09

I believe that students hate homework because teachers and parents force them to do it, and make them do so much. If there was no homework, students would not feel pressured. It would allow them to sleep earlier, and pay attention...

ElizabethM I think that the homework that you seem to refer to is misdirected and misguided. The purpose of homework is to reinforce the in class lessons, at least at the lowest grade levels. In high school, students should be able to complete some of the work...

ElizabethM Have you considered the possibility that after all of the students' grade were taken into account, there was a curve put on the grades. In an attempt to not effect the students' self-esteem, the teacher may have thought it was better for him/her to look human...
