Ours have learned that we don't feel like doing anything prior to the break. And you can tell that they're just as eager to get on with the break as we are. More work for us = much more work than us for them.
When the guidance counselor announced that Pre-AP English students in HS would have to read over the break people were mortified. I couldn't care less, just a little reading over the break.
We just hide our stupidity better. And we didn't really solve a bunch of things with war so that makes our seem better. Instead everyone who annoyed the government was hung! Much more inconspicuous.
Our idiots don't get into parliament.That's really the only difference.
