Leanne's blog is about the word "love" and how it is often abused. She also discusses the nature of "swear words" and asks many questions about why they are considered "bad."
My comment: Leanne-
When reading your blog, I was reminded of thoughts that I have often had in the past. We wonder a lot of the same things, and you prompted other great questions in my mind. I agree with you that age shouldn't matter when it comes to love. When I hear girls using the word constantly to basically every person that they know, it bothers me a little. Love is a strong emotion that only people who have truly been in love understand. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether you are in love or not, but I agree that whether you are a teenager in a relationship or a happily married couple, the same emotion can be experienced. And as for you thought on swear words, I have often asked myself the same questions that you did. But, for some reason, society views certain words as "bad," so we will just have to accept that for now.
My Comment: Albert-
I agree with you that the amount of homework teachers assign isn't necessarily best for learning and can often become busy work. I am in the same math class as you and have the option of whether or not to do my homework because I have maintained an A or B average in the class, but I choose to do my homework anyway because I think that practicing what you have learned in class on your own is an important part of actually learning how to do something. But, I believe that some students can pick up on things more easily than others, and if they can maintain a good grade without doing homework, good for them. I am curious about what type of problems could occur from repetitive work, though. I know that it is annoying and unnecessary if you already understand the material, but I am not sure what harm could come from it. I would be interested to elaborate on that.
