[ Testimony ] Joint projects

[Daniel L Newhouse]

I had to do a joint project in geography with the worst student I've ever known, Benjamin Jarrett Russell. He didn't know how to use the arrow keys and when I tried to teach him my mother came in and screamed at me. I didn't know the shortcut keys for double spacing on an apple IIc. I still have this tendency to delete text without using the arrow keys correctly, that I picked up from him. When the project was printed out there were pages of blank paper printing. Later, my mother told me someone had simply held down the return key inserting multiple blank lines at the end of the project. I am not sure who did that, because I was out of the room at the time. I redid the whole thing and turned it in. I used a travel brochure on Wales as a source. As well as World Book.

The policy in Niceville is to always side with the student with the lower grades.

Now I remember why this thing got assigned as a group project. My father was working on geneology and was hung up on a mistake. Howard Cemetery, Goodman, MO is a burial place, not a place of death. That's why the place of death for Ishom Isom Halloway is probably Anderson, McDonald, Missouri, USA. There is more than one set of data to look at. My father thought I was retarded to look at it this way.
