A logger cuts down a beautiful forest, because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this, so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?

Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers..)

Best thing my 11th grade math teacher ever did was to ban calculators. Must have raised my SAT math score by at least 100, if not closer to 200 points.
