When Teachers Assign Pointless Projects

I wish they would tell us WHY.

And I'm not talking about Scratch projects.

The title explains it all.

Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Re: When Teachers Assign Pointless Projects

Maybe the students have no idea what scratch is or how it works.

Re: When Teachers Assign Pointless Projects

Scratch really spiffs up projects. Too bad my math teacher didnt know how to click buttons. My math proj is somewhere in my stuff.

And maybe the only type of projects in the world are not Scratch ones.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Pretty much everything on the internet is pointless. Ah well.

Re: When Teachers Assign Pointless Projects

Actually, most of the time when you think a project is useless, it has some educational part to it. Unless it was something really crazy like go paint a zebra in sweatpants(which would only be a good project if you are in an art class).

Yeah! Cheddargirl's right! Was Veggieman001 strapped to his chair forced to listen to Justin Bieber's "Baby" for three hours, while all his classmates threw pencils and erasers at him?! I don't think so!  mad

Well, in art we had to design a deck of playing cards and write a two page essay on the rules of the game. And we couldn't copy them. ALL had to be original artwork. And it was kind of hard to write 2 pages on a game that has already been invented. I spent an ENTIRE weekend working on it.

Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Re: When Teachers Assign Pointless Projects

And can we please stay on topic? This is getting WAY into the weeds, and I don't really want this closed... We went from teacher assignments to veggieman001 to Justin Beiber? I only have one thing to say about that: *?

School always has a few of those useless projects, but, as long as they're fun, I don't really care...  hmm

Me too. But when I get one of those during FINALS WEEK, it isn't easy to appreciate it.
